Mobile operators face a number of different challenges in connecting their network access points together.  The problems include:

• High density subscribers in urban areas over short ranges
• Low density subscribers in outlying areas over long distances
• Shortage of existing cabled connections available for the access points
• High costs of installation and ownership
• Installation delays

Whilst microwave is sometimes recommended as the one stop solution, this is a case where one size of solution definitely does not fit all. Addressing the very differing needs requires a wide range of solutions.

At Mobile Transport & Infrastructure Africa (Cape Town, South Africa. Mon 30 Nov 2009 – Thu 03 Dec 2009) CableFree solutions will be presenting a range of solutions to address all the issues.  The appropriate use of microwave will be discussed along with some of the limitations such as:

• licensing requirements,
• interference, multipath and signal reflection problems, and
• public health fears

Contrasting wireless alternatives to microwave such Free Space Optics & Broadband Radio will be demonstrated, enabling assessment of the key benefits including:

• Which technology is appropriate for each application
• Rapid deployment
• High reliability
• Low total cost of ownership
• IP network migration paths

Experts from CableFree Solutions will also be available to discuss network operators’ individual problems and advise on the various ways of finding the best solution.

Stephen Patrick, Director of CableFree Solutions has been asked to present an expert’s view at the conference.  He said; “CableFree’s extensive experience providing solutions to a diverse range of cellular operator needs in varied environments enables us to tailor a solution to each and every need.”
