Goal

Data rate: 1Gbps up to 100Gbps)

Full duplex small cell backhaul connection

LTE rate per user <=1Gbps

Access point aggregate rate >> 1Gbps

Provide mid/long range owc connections for indoors and outdoors

Avoid cabling between several access point and backbone

Find reliable, cost effective and low power solution
