Wireless Local Loop a practical and viable option

INTRODUCTION TO WIRELESS

It is the technology that uses radio to provide the last mile of a communication link to a customer. Figure shows a simple use of the wireless in the telecommunications world. The subscriber is the first connected to the switch via a local loop to a distribution point. The distribution point is then connected to the switch via a trucked cable. Historically copper cable was used in deploying the local loop, which accounts for nearly half of the total trunk line between the distribution point and the switch. Wireless replaces the copper cable in the local loop section with radio and most feasible where the cables are not available.

Benefits of Wireless Local Loop

Wireless Local Loop has a number of advantages over traditional copper cable. Compared to the deployment of copper lines, WLL offers rapid deployment, reduced construction costs, low network maintenance, low network extension costs, and improved survivability against natural disasters and vandalism and most secure medium as compare to physical medium for our environment.

Wireless can be deployed in a much shorter time compared to the deployment of the traditional copper wire. Once the transmitter is constructed at the base station, radio receiver units have to be installed where the subscriber wants the service. Rapid deployment of the wireless system allows for faster realization of revenues and reduced time to recover deployment investments.
