HFCL Unveils two Innovative UBR Solutions: Advanced 4G & 5G Backhauling and Energy-Efficient Rural Broadband Connectivity Solutions
- HFCL's newly launched advanced 4G & 5G backhauling solutions are highly cost-effective, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) to just one-tenth of that of conventional microwave or E-band backhaul solutions.
- The Rural connectivity solutions consume less than one-third of the power required by typical microwave or E-band solutions.
- Since the launch of their first-generation Unlicensed Band Radio (UBR) products in 2020, HFCL has already shipped over 500,000 UBR units globally, reaching markets in India, the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
- The 2 Gbps UBR enables high-bandwidth connectivity across multiple remote villages from a single fiber-PoP, making it ideal for point-to-multipoint deployments.
- Designed for extensive use in rural areas, this solution ensures efficient and scalable network coverage for underserved regions, supporting the Prime Minister's initiative for rural transformation by fostering digital inclusion and driving economic growth.
NEW DELHI, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HFCL Limited (HFCL), a leading technology enterprise and next-gen communications solution provider today announced the launch of two revolutionary Unlicensed Band Radio (UBR) products at the India Mobile Congress 2024, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
Promising to address the surging data demands of today's network environments and yet maintaining sustainability, HFCL's new launches include: (a) 1 Gbps Small Form Factor 4G/5G backhauling Radio offering unprecedented spectral and power efficiency, and (b) Energy efficient 2 Gbps Point-to-Multipoint Rural connectivity UBR.
These designed in India UBR products underline HFCL's position as a key player in the industry for 4G/5G wireless backhauling and rural connectivity solutions. HFCL's new UBR devices offer fibre-like speeds, power efficiency, and significant cost reductions on utilities and tower space, enabling telcos and service providers to save on CAPEX and OPEX alike. Unlike any of traditional backhauling solutions, be it fibre optics, which can be costly and limited in reach, microwave systems which have inherent capacity constraints, and E-band radios which face reliability issues, HFCL's UBRs deliver superior performance, ultra-high capacity and high reliability at almost one-tenth cost as compared to conventional backhauling methods.
1 Gbps Small Form Factor UBR: Compact Powerhouse
The 1 Gbps UBR features a compact, portable design with an integrated antenna, making it exceptionally easy to transport and install. Its small form factor is ideal for rapid deployment in both urban and rural environments and is packed with advanced features like bandwidth aggregation, low latency, minimized jitter, and long range etc. making this ideal for 4G and 5G backhauling. Even in compact form, the device provides 1 Gbps throughput, ensuring reliable and fast last-mile access and backhaul connectivity over longer distances. It also includes advanced RF interference mitigation technologies to enhance signal integrity and achievable throughput, optimizing network performance in challenging environments.
2 Gbps Point-to-Multipoint UBR: Energy Efficient and Scalable
The 2 Gbps UBR is ideal for providing connectivity in remote villages from a Gram Panchayat in point-to- multipoint scenario, allowing simultaneous delivery of high-bandwidth to multiple villages from a single fibre-PoP. This makes it an ideal solution for extensive deployments in remote and rural environments.
These innovative UBRs are designed to deliver high throughput in last-mile and offers telcos and service providers with a scalable and robust wireless backhauling solution.
What sets HFCL apart is that these new UBR devices, among other wireless and wired products in its portfolio, can be easily controlled, monitored, and managed through an advanced Element Management System (EMS). A single-pane-of-glass interface that simplifies network management for large-scale deployments for telcos and enterprises. Additionally, our Link Planning tool LinkXpert allows for meticulous network planning in advance, ensuring optimal resource utilization and maximizing network efficiency.
The Company has also hit a significant milestone of over 500,000 successful deployments of UBRs across its key markets including India, the UK, Europe, Middle East and Africa
On the launch of the two UBRs, Mr. Mahendra Nahata, Managing Director, HFCL, said, "We are proud to be the first company to launch these cutting-edge indigenously-made UBR solutions that provide high-quality, reliable, and innovative telecom solutions for 5G network expansion. Over half a million successful deployment serving global customers is a testimony to the rising demand for the Unlicensed Band Radios to meet the connectivity requirements. These groundbreaking solutions demonstrate our commitment to address unique challenges faced by our telco customers and drive the future of global telecom infrastructure."
