Η COSMOTE in partnership with Deutsche Telekom and Ericsson performed a pilot microwave coupling, achieving speeds consistently above 100Gbps, ten times the existing commercial solutions.
ΠThis is a major technological breakthrough that changes the way wireless data transmits from the extreme network to the backbone network and responds to the challenge of achieving the very high speeds required by switching to 5th generation networks. This way, advanced applications such as remote control of devices and vehicles, cloud gaming, 360 ° video streaming, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, etc. can be supported in the future. on a 5G network.
The microwave connection that took place was 1,5 km long and connected the OTE Headquarters in Maroussi, with the Group's New Technologies Laboratories, allowing the transmission of data with speeds up to 140Gbps. Achieving these speeds will allow ultra-high speed Internet speeds to be provided everywhere, even where fiber optic network installation may not be possible.
The Executive Director Network Planning & Devops of OTE Group, Mr. George Tsonis, stated in this regard:
Mr. George Pappas, President & CEO of Ericsson Greece, added:
Technical details
For the pilot application of microwave linking, many innovative technologies in the field of wireless transmission were combined in order to achieve a spectral performance that reached 55,2bps / Hz for the first time, such as: multi-input-output technology (MIMO-8 × 8) in conditions optical contact propagation using dual polarization at millimeter frequencies at 70/80 GHz and high-bandwidth wireless channels of ~ 2000MHz.
