Huawei recently released SuperHUB, an innovative 5G microwave solution with simplified architecture to improve the spectrum efficiency and enables high bandwidth for aggregation sites.
Huawei also unveiled 40Gbps and 100Gbps ultra-bandwidth microwave solutions for 5G aggregation sites, setting a new record for microwave solution bandwidth.
As 5G develops even further, backhaul networking shifts from tree to star topology, leading to a growing number of directions at hub sites. Multi-directional large-bandwidth upgrade requires more spectrum to be used, placing global operators under increased pressure to obtain sites. Growing spectrum also leads to increased microwave hardware at hub sites, which in turn leads to installation space and load bearing becoming more significant issues for towers.
Utilizing Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) technology, the solution enables a spectrum used only once within 90° range to be multiplexed three times, thus improving spectral efficiency by 300%, claims Huawei. This allows the same amount of spectrum to provide triple the bandwidth for all directions at a hub site, facilitating multi-directional bandwidth upgrade.
The SuperHUB solution provides operators with an ideal tool to solve issues related to spectrum, bandwidth, tower space, and tower bearing at hub sites, says Huawei.
