FWA Deployment Strategy

[kumarashu81]

Phase 1: 3.5 GHz + Indoor/Outdoor CPE Deployment

1. Network Planning:

   • Conduct synchronous planning to ensure FWA and eMBB coexist seamlessly on the same network.
   • Optimize resource allocation to balance FWA demand and mobile broadband usage.

2. Macro Coverage for Continuity:

   • Deploy macro cells to establish continuous coverage over large geographical areas.
   • Ensure high reliability and support for both mobility and fixed wireless services.

3. Indoor CPE Deployment:

   • Scale indoor CPE installations to address residential and small business demands.
   • Focus on areas with strong signal availability for cost-efficient deployment.

4. Outdoor CPE for Complementary Coverage:

   • Deploy outdoor CPE in areas with weak indoor signal or higher interference.
   • Prioritize regions with higher line-of-sight connectivity to ensure quality service.

5. QoS and Installation Tools:

   • Implement quick installation tools for faster provisioning and reduced setup times.
   • Monitor and optimize Quality of Service (QoS) to align with FBB-level performance.

Phase 2: mmWave + Outdoor CPE Deployment

1. Target High-Capacity Needs:

   • Address GIGA-level broadband requirements using the mmWave spectrum.
   • Support ultra-low latency and high-speed services for urban and high-density areas.

2. Co-site Deployment:

   • Leverage existing macro cell sites for deploying mmWave radios, reducing costs.
   • Augment with small cells where higher density is required to support capacity hotspots.

3. Outdoor CPE Only:

   • Focus on deploying outdoor CPE due to mmWave’s short range and line-of-sight limitations.
   • Optimize placement to maximize coverage and minimize signal blockages.

4. Capacity Evolution Planning:

   • Develop a roadmap for transitioning to higher capacity as demand grows.

5. Integration with Phase 1

   • Ensure backhaul compatibility and smooth integration with the existing 3.5 GHz network.

   • Use both bands (3.5 GHz and mmWave) to create a hybrid system for performance optimization.

Key Additions

• Spectrum Efficiency: Employ advanced techniques (e.g., carrier aggregation, beamforming) to maximize spectrum usage.

• Customer Segmentation: Tailor deployment plans based on customer types (e.g., residential, enterprise, rural, urban).

• Regulatory Compliance: Align with local spectrum policies and licensing requirements for both 3.5 GHz and mmWave.

• Monitoring and Maintenance: Incorporate tools for real-time performance monitoring and predictive maintenance.

• Future-proofing: Design systems with scalability in mind for future transitions to higher bands or technologies (e.g., 6G).
