Cosmote, Greece’s largest mobile operator and member of the OTE Group has partnered with Huawei to complete a field trial involving innovative microwave solution, dubbed as “Super Dual Band”, a multi-giga bandwidth system for backhauling requirements. 

Multi-Giga throughput links often require multiple hardware components, large antennas, and high spectrum resources in congested frequency bands, significantly impacting operators’ overall network total cost of ownership (TCO).

Huawei claims that its “Super Dual Band” bonds the traditional frequency (6-42GHz) together with E-band (71-86GHz) in a unique manner, offering increased protection via special link aggregation techniques and advanced Quality of Service mechanisms. The “Super Dual Band” solution combines long the distance benefit of traditional frequencies together with the large capacity advantage of the E-Band, ensuring efficient multi-Giga transmission for links even exceeding 7 Km.

George Tsonis, OTE Group Fixed & Mobile Network Planning & Development Executive Director
The growing capacity demands for fixed and mobile backhaul require innovative solutions on wireless backhaul technologies. The combination of E-Band and traditional microwave frequency spectrum could play a significant role on this direction.

Bob Chen, the President of Huawei Microwave Product Line
Huawei has started microwave cooperation with the OTE Group, member of Deutsche Telekom Group, since 2009 and we are very honored to be Deutsche Telekom microwave transmission partner now.
