Based on the labels in the above table:
1. FWA/Enterprise:
mmWave is well suited for fixed wireless access scenarios such as providing home/enterprise broadband. Few key advantages of FWA with mmWave are as mentioned below:
It can deliver fiber like throughputs Faster deployment compared to FTTH Monetize 5G with additional revenue streams Can handle high data demand due to large channel bandwidth
We have considered an urban area in this exercise to provide FWA services. The link budget results in above section are used to perform the simulations in planning tool. Considering NSA deployment readiness, the prerequisite to meet our objective was to ensure the area of interest for FWA with 28 GHz (mmWave) is well covered by LTE 1800 band, typical EN-DC scenario. As a next step, our objective was to identify the best possible location for mmWave cell site to cover the maximum number of buildings/house and ensure good quality signal on the rooftop and façade area. Based on prediction results it can be identified that which buildings can be served better with indoor CPE or outdoor CPE. Such analysis helps to expedite the efforts to recommend CPE positioning (indoor or outdoor) for the specific venue and reduce the efforts of field survey. The below flow chart represent the mmWave FWA planning methodology and analysis done to simulate the FWA planning service using planning tool.
Link budget at 28 GHz is designed to achieve the required FWA service (50/10 Mbps)
Check for LTE anchor layer (NSA) coverage (1800 MHz in our case
Based on traffic maps area of interest (AOI) is identified
Identification of household for Indoor or outdoor FWA service based on RSRP
