NEC announced the launch of the new iPASOLINK EX, an ultra-compact radio communication system that is designed to achieve wireless transmission capacity of 10Gbps, making it ideal for use in mobile backhaul networks for high-speed mobile services, such as LTE-Advanced and 5G.
According to NEC, the new product, adopting E-band range (71-86GHz frequency) millimeter radio waves, achieves low latency and high transmission capacity of 10Gbps with a single band, more than three-times higher than NEC's existing model. With the new product, mobile operators can effectively increase capacity of macro/small cell backhaul, and fronthaul for Centralized Radio Access networks (C-RAN).
