Orange has installed the FrontLink 58 wireless solution from EBlink on its 4G network.
EBlink’s solution allows for faster and easier deployment of 4G and future 5G networks, the company said.
The FrontLink58 system provides spectral efficiency: over 7 Gbps CPRI on a wireless link within a 100MHz bandwidth. The company expects to double this technical performance in 2015.
EBlink is actively engaged in partnerships to accelerate the distribution of their products internationally, said Alain ROLLAND, EBlink’s founder and CEO.
“Everything indicates that mobile network architectures will rely on Fronthaul links, to enable the use of those technologies essential for the high-speed service expected (Comp, Massive MIMO, etc.),” said Christian BITTAR, EBlink’s co-founder and COO.
“Studies have shown that within these architectures, wireless fronthaul links allow for a decrease in deployment costs of around 30 percent. Our wireless fronthaul technology was developed with this in mind,” BITTAR added.
“In just a few months, EBlink has demonstrated that it can attain the ambitious performance levels predicted. It’s remarkable,” said Jean-Luc Vuillemin, director of the Orange France network.
EBlink will be present the technology at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
