Providing ubiquitous connectivity

»More spectrum› Expensive and limited licensees› Capacity only grows linearly with spectrum usage

»Spectrum efficiency› Migration to LTE and LTE-A

»Small cell everywhere › Picocell, Femtocell

Smart cells are an attractive and fairly easy way forward solution

Accepted solution:

»Offer 4G (LTE) services (VoLTE) »Support minimum two mobile operators »Use existing Janet connectivity as a backhaul »Use an encrypted point-to-point tunnel across Janet to

backhauls traffic to mobile operators’ network (from customer’s premises to mobile operator’s connection point) -> Open to public

»Be IP Based »Use of existing Ethernet resources on site for the

carrying traffic must be possible 01/05/2023
