InterDigital Demonstrates Integrated Fronthaul and Backhaul Over Millimeter Wave System
September 27 2016 - 2:30AM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, will participate in a milestone demonstration
for the H2020 5GPPP 5G-Crosshaul consortium by integrating its
EdgeLink™ system into an integrated fronthaul and backhaul trial at
the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute in Berlin today.
5G-Crosshaul is an international project with 21 members aimed
at developing integrated fronthaul and backhaul system solutions to
support flexibility and unified management for 5G network
architectures. InterDigital’s EdgeLink is a wireless
transport solution that provides mesh network connectivity over a
60GHz data link.
The demonstration will validate the project’s technology
innovations through showcasing a multiplex of backhaul and new
fronthaul traffic carried over the same millimeter wave (mmW) link,
and under the control of a Software Defined Networking (SDN) mesh
controller for mmW small cells. InterDigital’s EdgeLink nodes have
been installed within the 5G-testbed and will serve as the mmW link
within the demonstration.
“Various research and standardization forums leading the
development of 5G, have aligned on the vision that fronthaul and
backhaul will converge,” said Alan Carlton, Vice President,
InterDigital Europe. “This demonstration validates the
industry-wide alignment and showcases how the technology presented
is an important ingredient to enable a cost effective and scalable
5G network, by providing a wireless solution for the transport of
fronthaul and backhaul data.”
