7. EU DEFINITION –NEXT GENERATION ACCESS
7
The term next generation access (NGA) is commonly
used to describe the requirement of fibre coming closer
to the end-user, or providing the direct connection. As a
result, the copper or cable wire is to a larger extent or
fully replaced with fibre-optic technology. Wireless
technologies can also be considered as
NGAs. Indeed, wireless can provide a vital
option to extend and improve broadband
coverage.

8. WHAT IS CAMBIUM DOING IN UK?
• Airband was selected by the Worcestershire County Council Cabinet to deliver
enhanced broadband services to 14 parish communities that applied for grant
funding, and were identified as being in the final 10% of areas which may not
otherwise receive more than 2Mbps download speeds
• Airband chose Cambium’s PMP450 and PTP650 solutions as they will enable Next
Generation Access speeds of 24Mbps and above in areas with low bandwidths,
and those that are currently without broadband. The carrier-grade solution will
enable Airband to offer wide-range connectivity, scalability and high reliability for
small and medium enterprises and residents in the rural area
• This project is also a break though as BDUK rubber stamped the project for state
aide support to use Cambium Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) broadband technology.
This will give confidence to other councils that Cambium FWA is a technology that
will provide a real benefit to rural areas, now
• Cambium Networks equipment is being used in a number of BDUK Technology
Trial Funded projects in various deployment scenarios

11. WHAT IS CAMBIUM DOING IN EUROPE?
• Milan – April 2013 NGI, leading italian Service Provider and Cambium Networks™,
strengthened their collaboration to deploy EOLOwave access technology
throughout Italy. NGI has just named Cambium Networks as its “Best Partner for
2013,” with plans to deliver wireless broadband innovation for residents and
businesses across the country.
• Cambium and NGI are working together to develop EOLOwave so that it offers
ultra-broadband 30Mb/s speeds, which have been set as a key goal by the
European Digital Agenda. The EOLOwave platform has been designed by NGI and
Cambium Networks using the PMP 450 infrastructure to further improve efficiency
and management related to the uses specifically required by the EOLO network
• …The fact that Italy’s largest wireless operator has chosen to work with Cambium
demonstrates the quality of our products and the expertise that we can provide.
This is an exciting time for broadband in Europe

• The areas not being fiber enabled do not have any
plans as of today
• All technologies can play a vital role in providing
rural connectivity

– and quicker and cheaper
