The world is moving towards gigabit broadband with an immersive media consumption environment –
requiring 5G based broadband & content delivery.
Having access to infrastructure that can deliver such high speeds with integrated media delivery is
crucial!
AIR® system can deliver triple play services and speeds comparable to or even higher than newest
wireline technologies for a fraction of the cost!

AIR® is a patented wireless technology for ultra-high speed broadband data transfer over great distances with the
throughput and performance equaling that of the HFC (hybrid fiber coaxial) network.
AIR® is the first wireless system that provides the same capabilities and speeds as new coaxial cable networks or
enables delivery of triple play services with agreggation of multiple LTE carriers.

2 – 42 GHz - FDD
AIR® uses patented wireless technology to deliver ultra-fast broadband data over
high frequencies by using higher order modulation techniques which require line
of sight.
A very small percentage of non-line of sight situations can be overcome with proper base station
location planning and complementary methods of broadband delivery. So no one is left in the dark.

6.  Up to 41 Gbps transfer rate per base station enables problem-free reception of
multiple 4k HD TV channels and a broadband speed of up to 2 Gbps to the end
user.
 Unique design enables support for triple play services (4kHD TV, VOIP,
broadband).
 Air® offers approximately 90% lower cost compared to deployment of wireline network.

AIR® – Perfect last mile solution

8. Mobile goes fixed
AIR® enables mobile operators to enter fixed market and offer fiber like triple play
services with low cost and easy integration into mobile network. It also allows mobile
network traffic off load and can be used as a backhaul for mobile base stations.
Mobile multi-play
Mobile operators can easily add TV offering to their fixed mobile service and
take advantage of multi-play offering.
Access to remote / underserved areas
Existing operators or investors are now able to offer triple play service to
underserved areas cost effectively and with high ROI.
Cable expands footprint
Cable operators can instantly extend existing network coverage and gain new
customers with seamless integration and the use of existing network and CPE
equipment.
AIR® solution – Soutable for all operators There are four uses cases for TelCos and CableCos
to use Globtel‘s solution instead of investing in
“classical” fixed based solutions:

AIR® System
Globtel’s technology AIR® consists of 2 main
components:
- the base station and
- the transceiver
combining proprietary components with standard
Docsis, DVB/IPTV and LTE equipment.
Customer premises

12. The AIR® base station and transceiver are specific solutions, but the CPE in customer homes is standard and can be
managed like business-as-usual
The base station is an essential part of the AIR® Last Mile wireless point-to-multipoint system.
It uses microwave based transmission and supports frequency bands between 2 and 42Ghz.
By using carrier aggregation it supports channel width of up to 1 000 Mhz. As a result the
throughput capacities are up to 41 Gbps per BS (DOCSIS) and 18 Gbps per BS (LTE).
The base station is connected to the operators core network and broadcasts the signal to
homes using AIR®.
The transceiver is the counter part of the base station and is located at the customer premises.
It is essentially a bi-directional parabolic microwave antenna (sattelite dish) and an outdoor
unit.
One unit is required per home, or a common unit can also service an apartment block with
multiple homes. This unit down converts the AIR® signal and feeds it into worldwide used
Docsis/LTE standard equipment inside the homes.

29. Cost of home passed starts from just 20 EUR per household as one base
station can cover teritory in radius of up to 50 km. To connect the
customer just install transceiver, antenna and CPE.
The system design allows multiple users to be connected to one transceiver and
still enjoy fast internet service. Cost per household connected starts from 100 EUR
per household in combination with multidwelling units.
