5G: Connecting the Unconnected
Challenges of Delivering Rural Coverage

“… in many cellular network deployments, the cost of the
civil and supporting infrastructure (land, tower,
security, power and backhaul) is often much
greater than the cost of the cellular access
point itself."

Network Deployment – What do we bring?
7
• Simple, quick Installation
• Under 3 hours to install and commission one CWS small cell
• Under 3 days to light up a rural community with cluster of 4 CWS’
• Planning “Lite”
• Eliminates the backhaul Challenge
• Use what is available when it becomes available & aggregate all sources
• In Band 4G Backhaul
• Mesh Backhaul
• Fiber / DSL / ADSL
• Low cost of Operation
• Low power consumption
• Self-configuration, self-optimization with SON

Backhaul
• Flexible backhaul = use what
is there:
• Future-proofed for any
backhaul that might become
available
• Incoming backhaul capacity is
shared within the cluster
What does this enable?
• Easy installation
• Easy
maintenance
• Low OPEX
• Network Slicing
• SON
• MEC

CWS Installation
Instant and easy deployments
• Lightweight and small form factor
makes for easy installation
• Small size allows CWS to be installed
anywhere: towers, street furniture,
sides of buildings, etc.
• Reduces site acquisition costs
• Self-configuration capabilities further
simplifies installation: no need for RF
planning, just plug in and power on
• No specialized equipment required
• Little to no RF/engineering training
required
