HFCL Limited, a prominent technology enterprise based in India, showcased its latest suite of connectivity solutions at the India Mobile Congress 2023. The offerings, unveiled during the event held from October 27 to October 29, included innovative products aimed at addressing the evolving needs of global telecommunications and networking.
Among the products introduced were the 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) series, versatile IP MPLS Routers, the high-speed 2 Gbps Unlicensed Band Radio (UBR), and the 1728-high fiber count Intermittently Bonded Ribbon (IBR) Optical Fiber Cable.
HFCL’s 5G FWA CPE series, available in various configurations, was a focal point of the presentation. These devices, supporting both 5G Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) technologies, were designed to enhance wireless broadband penetration in urban and rural areas. They specifically targeted areas where fiber deployment faced limitations, addressing the critical challenge of last-mile connectivity in key global markets.
The launch of the 2 Gbps UBR marked a significant advancement in 5G backhauling and enterprise wireless connectivity. Operating across an extended 5GHz frequency range, this solution offered low-latency connectivity and boasted advanced security features. HFCL emphasized that compared to traditional backhaul methods, the 2 Gbps UBR could potentially reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by up to 75%.
Additionally, HFCL introduced a range of IP MPLS Routers tailored to empower telecommunications companies. These routers were strategically designed to support the backhauling needs of 5G networks and fiber broadband networks. They also facilitated last-mile connectivity to enterprises in urban metros and tier 2 cities. The routers’ capabilities included handling diverse data traffic types and ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) for efficient bandwidth prioritization, crucial for managing network congestion effectively.
To accelerate the deployment of 5G network infrastructure and cater to the escalating demand for high-capacity networks, HFCL presented the 1728-high fiber count IBR Optical Fiber Cable. This gel-free cable was optimized for high productivity mass fusion splicing, enabling cost-efficient deployment and quick restoration in the event of network outages. Its introduction aimed at supporting the expansion of 5G network capabilities and meeting the increasing demands, especially from hyperscale data centers.
