The milestone was achieved by installing NEC’s iPASOLINK EX-Advanced for Alingsas Energi, a regional provider of energy and infrastructure services. This marks the first time that a 10Gbps ultra-high speed wireless point-to-point link with millimetre wave frequency band of 80GHz has been deployed in Sweden.
"The planning, digging and installation that is needed for traditional fibre cables requires both a great deal of time and expensive resources," said Kristian Nilsson, Network Manager at Alingsas Energi. "Therefore, we chose NEC's wireless broadband connection via the iPASOLINK EX-Advanced microwave link. This proven solution has quickly provided the residents of Mossberg with a strong and reliable broadband connection that also promises to meet our future needs with a link capacity of 10Gbps, the first such powerful wireless broadband connection in Sweden."
The project was carried out in collaboration with Vixor and Co AB, a wireless communications provider, and by deploying iPASOLINK EX-Advanced were able to connect to an existing optical backbone in the area of Mossberg. The solution is a high profile wireless broadband connection for the transport of reliable, highly connected triple-play services. It is a natural fibre extension with 10GbE optical interfaces and Layer-2 tunnelling features for transparent fibre activity.
The 16,000-km optical high-speed cable will link Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States and is expected to be completed by Q4 of 2020.
