A heterogeneous network connects devices with different operating systems and protocols, often indicating the use of multiple types of access nodes in a wireless network. A wide area network (WAN) can use macrocells, picocells, and/or femtocells to provide wireless coverage in diverse environments with specific needs, ranging from outdoor services to offices, homes, and underground spaces. HetNet can be defined as a network with complex interoperability between macrocells, small cells, and, in some cases, elements in the Wi-Fi network, providing a mosaic of coverage with data transfer capabilities between network elements.
At the recent HetNet conference, Jonathan Adelstein, President of the PCIA (Professional Wireless Trade Association), commented that four major companies will invest heavily in network densification by adding hundreds of distributed antenna systems (DAS) and small cells as part of their network improvement strategies. Mr. Adelstein noted that the expected investment in LTE infrastructure is $212 billion.
Mr. Wait commented that 5by5 Wireless is the essential heterogeneous networking partner for industry; as a wireless solution, 5by5 Wireless offers a wide wireless coverage area at relatively low costs.
Developed by a team of technology entrepreneurs with years of experience in wireless communications, the full-duplex wireless communication system is a 100% instrument-based solution. The implementation of a single 360-degree antenna offers greater data handling capacity, providing wireless coverage up to 20 miles (32 kilometers) with a total circular coverage area of 1,250 square miles or 3,200 square kilometers from a low-cost base station. This market is ideal for assembling a broad base of cells, wireless nodes, and deployment systems.
Mr. Waite states, “Our solution is fundamental for bringing together different types of HetNet access nodes, linking a wide variety of wireless coverage areas and a broad base of service providers. Our solution is platform-agnostic and can work on all platforms, including DOCSIS 3.1 and is LTE-compatible. The service can be deployed on all platforms at extremely low costs.”
5by5 Wireless utilizes the 300-1000MHz UHF frequency spectrum. For example, using 48 MHz of bandwidth for downstream data, it provides an operating speed of 216 Mbps, and 24 MHz of bandwidth for upstream data, it provides a speed of 32 Mbps – enabling simultaneous use by thousands of internet users, connecting thousands of wireless cells, nodes, and devices. The 5by5 Wireless circuit can provide full-duplex communication across the entire frequency spectrum to all wireless communication devices.
Mr. Waite commented, “When you consider the projected 50 million Internet of Things (IoT) devices expected to be connected by 2020, there will be significant demand for a variety of solutions that can help make better use of existing spectrum. We see 5by5 Wireless and 5Bars Wireless as a cost-effective solution for wireless commerce when considering the development of HetNet convergence solutions.”
Mr. Waite noted that InventionShare is open to discussions about licensing or distributing with regional and national telephone companies to internet service providers, cable and telecom tower companies, who can now enter the mobile phone business at low cost, with an elegant wireless internet solution that supports HetNet capabilities in rural, remote and urban areas.
