Abstract
This report is about high-frequency radio (millimeter- wave), its development
and market opportunities.
We particular discuss and analyze:
- 60 GHz radio technology and market
- E-band radio technology and market.
Communications systems based on such radios utilization are being in use for a
relatively long time, but applications were restricted only by military -
their cost prohibited the use of the technology in the commercial
applications. Only recently, with opening of the spectrum by FCC for these
radios in the U.S. as well as adoption of these bands by other regulators all
around the world, the high-frequency radio market started to evolve for
commercialization.
There are several reasons for wanting to use millimeter-wave radio links:
- The radio spectrum at very high frequencies is still rather undeveloped,
and therefore more radio spectrum with wider bandwidths is available at these
frequencies;
- The system capacity is higher at very high frequencies because the range
of radio signals is limited, resulting in smaller cells. Therefore the same
frequency can be reused at shorter distances;
- The inherent security and privacy is better at very high frequencies
because of the limited range and the relatively narrow beam widths that can be
achieved;
- The spatial resolution is better at very high frequencies;
- It is easy to realize Gb/s transmission;
- The physical size of antennas at very high frequencies is small and it
becomes practical to build complex antenna arrays and/or further integrate
them.
60 GHz radio and E-band radio, though belong to the same class of
millimeter-wave devices, have different properties; these properties are
determining applications. Two main applications for 60 GHz radio were
emphasized: a) Fixed Wireless, and b) WPAN. The primary application of E-band
radio is fiber link substitution at the last mile.
The technology improvements and demand for wireless applications (particular,
with increased use of HDTV), work of standard organizations (such as IEEE and
ETSI) as well as contributions from such companies like IBM and Motorola are
helping with 60 GHz radio commercialization.
Designed for transmission of uncompressed video in the HD-format, 60 GHz WPAN
very soon will compete with wired technologies and may reduce or even
eliminate use of such expensive techniques as HDMI. In the Fixed Wireless
application, 60 GHz radio will deal with short (up to several hundred meters)
indoor and outdoor channels.
The report analyzes properties of 60 GHz technology and researches its market
segments for Fixed Radio and WPAN applications. The report discusses
commercialization issues; the situation is gradually improving with several
inexpensive solutions for IC integration and packaging specifically for 60 GHz
radio chips.
In the part of the report concerning E-band radio, we provide reasons why this
radio technology is becoming so popular-the FCC regulated 13 GHz of spectrum
for the licensed use of E-band. Licensing in this band does not require going
through a labyrinth of paperwork, or spending any significant amounts of
money. This band allows creation of multi-gigabit data paths for distances of
several kilometers. One of the main applications of these radios is
replacement of fiber at the last mile.
Report provides marketing prospectus on E-band radio-with rapidly improving IC
technologies and growing demand for fast-deployed and cost-effective
high-speed data links (up to several Gb/s) these radios are in the winning
position.
Research Methodology
Considerable research was performed using the Internet. Information from
various Web sites was studied and analyzed; evaluation of publicly available
marketing and technical publications was also conducted. Telephone
conversations and interviews were held with industry analysts, technical
experts and executives. In addition to these interviews and primary research,
secondary sources were used to develop a more complete mosaic of the market
landscape, including industry and trade publications, conferences and seminars.
The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and
relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the
information content.
Target Audience
This report provides the millimeter-wave radio technology and market analysis
and assessments. These materials are useful for service providers, vendors,
network operators and managers, Enterprise IT staff, investors and end users
seeking to gain a deeper understanding of millimeter-wave radio opportunities
and barriers in the market growth.
The end users can gain thorough understanding of product' s market and
capabilities as well as the economics of using these technologies products to
improve cost efficiency.
