Arising from its recently meeting, the Industry Specification Group on millimetre Wave Transmission (ISG mWT) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has commenced work on developing a set of five specifications include mWT, reports ITRealms.
The group which met for the first time at ETSI between January 14
and 15, 2015, saw Mr. Renato Lombardi of
Huawei Technologies,
emerging as the chairman of the
Industry Specification Group while Mr. Nader Zei of NEC Europe was elected as
the vice chairman.
“ISG mWT was conceived as
an industry wide platform to prepare for large scale usage of millimetre wave
spectrum in current and future transmission networks by improving the conditions to make
millimetre wave spectrum a suitable and convenient choice for all stakeholders.
The ISG aims to be a worldwide initiative with global reach and to address the
whole industry: national regulators, standards organizations, telecom
operators, product vendors and key component vendors.” Lombardi said in his inaugural speech.
During the meeting, a
plan was agreed to develop five new specifications. These cover
·
An analysis of
the maturity and field proven experience of millimetre wave transmission
·
Potential applications
and use cases of millimetre wave transmission
·
An overview of
V-band and E-band worldwide regulations
·
An analysis of
V-band street level interference
·
Analysis of
the millimetre wave semiconductor Industry technology status and evolution.
Millimetre wave spectrum,
in the 30GHz to 300GHz
range, offers more available spectrum than in lower bands with larger channel bandwidths
granting a fibre like capacity.
The spectrum can be made available readily and can be reused easily, and lower
licensing costs lead to lower total
cost of ownership and lower cost per bit of radio systems.
ITRealms reports that participation
in the millimetre Wave Transmission Industry Specification Group is open to all
ETSI members as well as organizations who are not members, subject
to signing ISG Agreements.
