Now that these channels are under threat of being\ntaken away for 5G, those operators are being forced very quickly to look for\nother solutions on different frequency bands to continue providing their\nservices,\u201d said Paul Wright, Vice President of Sales and Customer Operations at\nCBNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5G technology is currently designed to operate on the FR1 and FR2\nranges, with FR1 covering all channels from 410MHz up to 7.125GHz and FR2 is\nfrom 24-25GHz up to 52.6GHz. The FR1 has become popular with 5G early adopters\ndue to its characteristics of long range and non-line of sight operation which\nhas seen rapid product development for 5G New Radio solutions. It is this that\nis driving regulators to start clawing back licenses and putting telcos and\nWISPs in a difficult position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, CBNG offers a 10.5GHz variant of its market leading VectaStar\npoint to multi-point platform, which is highly proven for delivering high grade\nenterprise access services. The company is currently seeing an uptake in sales\nfrom both existing and new customers looking to adopt the 10.5GHz band as a fall\nback plan to losing sub6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10.5GHz is a readily available frequency band for point to multi-point with\nVectaStar 10.5GHz being a well-established and highly reliable product. It possesses\nall the attributes for delivering extremely reliable and high quality,\nenterprise level commercial broadband service with a range of up to 10km. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you are facing a situation where you must suddenly migrate all your\ncustomers away from a network operating on 3.3GHz to 3.8GHz and you already\nhave access or have the opportunity to obtain 10.5GHz licenses, then VectaStar\ncould be the answer. We at CBNG can not only provide this solution but we can\nalso offer an entire end-to-end service to help operators to re-plan, implement\nand optimize their networks allowing for a rapid and efficient migration,\u201d\nconcluded Wright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information visit our website <a href=\"https:\/\/cbnl.com\/\">here<\/a> or email us on <a href=\"mailto:sales@cbnl.com\">sales@cbnl.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>About Cambridge Broadband Networks Group<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Since its inception in the year 2000, Cambridge Broadband Networks has revolutionised the use of microwave and millimetre wave spectrum to deliver high-speed, point-to-multipoint networks in the wide area.
