5G Rollout Challenges
Transcelestial | CONFIDENTIAL
Source: Small Cell Forum: Small cells market status report December 2018
Affordable, low cost, high speed
backhaul is one the top 4 major issues
< 500m (mmwave)
< 1-2 km
< 3-5 km
Emerging communications networks need 3-5x higher
density and capacity of backhaul and fronthaul fibre at
10Gbps or more to be effective
Access to affordable sites
Affordable backhaul
Lower opex costs
Network automation
Shared cost of deployment (with
other operators or with city etc)
Standard process for approval
Plug-and-play deployment process
Affordable or shared spectrum
Outsourced network operations
(e.g. neutral host, cloud)
Lower capex costs of equipment

RF/Microwave spectrum congested
High speeds require substantial spectrum and work on short
distance only
Fiber is too expensive to deploy and maintain
$100k per km, $0.5b-1b per subsea cable
Satellite communications have very high cost/bit
$1B satellites max capacity of a few Gbps
Existing communication
tech can not keep up with
the growth in data

Wireless Fibre Optics
Transcelestial | CONFIDENTIAL
● Line of sight technology which uses an optical signal to provide a wireless
connection between two points
● This solution can transmit data, audio and video at very high speeds
● Highly secure because light is transparent to spectrum/RF analyzers and
intercepting a narrow beam of light is very difficult and unlikely
● Wireless Fiber Optics is full duplex (transmit and receive in both directions)
● No spectrum licenses
● Fast and Easy Installation
● Line of sight is crucial
● Atmospheric attenuation/challenges (fog, cloud, snow, rain, etc)
● Vibration (installation needs strong and robust poles that will not sway and
shakes due to high winds)

Wireless Fibre Optics Key Feature #1
WEATHER AGNOSTIC
Adaptive Power Control (APC)
Rx power starts to dip and the TX automatically notes the signal degradation and starts to boost the TX power to a point
where the link is stabilised.
