But one thing we do know is that they&#8217;re bound to need more data capacity and that&#8217;s where the new C-RAN setup could help.<\/p>\n<p>However C-RAN networks, which are used to connect cellular base-stations to a mobile operator&#8217;s core network(s), often require a dedicated <strong>fibre optic<\/strong> link to supply the capacity and this is a problem if you&#8217;re deploying into an area without easy access to fibre (i.e. it can required expensive street works).<\/p>\n<p>Instead <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> and the US-based semiconductor manufacturer <strong>Cavium<\/strong> have teamed up to demonstrate a C-RAN network that can be fuelled by the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a> technology, which has shown in a test &#8211; conducted at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a>&#8217;s <strong>Adastral Park Labs<\/strong> facility in Ipswich &#8211; that it could deliver cellular data over copper lines at speeds of <strong>150-200Mbps<\/strong> (the exact conditions are not known).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Dr Tim Whitley, MD for Research &amp; Innovation at BT, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Using G.fast to deliver a cellular network is an exciting breakthrough for C-RAN and yet another world first for our team of researchers at Adastral Park. These technologies will play a key role in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> networks and will be fundamental to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> architectures. The trials are another step towards a fixed and mobile network which will support customers\u2019 increasing demands for data.<\/p>\n<p>We are very excited to collaborate with BT, using Cavium OCTEON Fusion-M\u2122 basestation and ThunderX\u00ae server processor technology to validate this new class of Radio Access application with G.fast technology.\u201d said Raj Singh, General Manager of Cavium\u2019s Wireless Broadband Group.<\/p>\n<p>Our successful testing has laid the groundwork for enabling LTE deployments today and 5G deployments in the future using G.fast.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The news is particularly poignant given that BT has just started its merger with UK mobile operator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> and will no doubt be seeking to harness the power of both their fixed and mobile networks, which could results in various efficiency and network related cost savings.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand we&#8217;re already seeing some single <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> (LTE-Advanced) connections on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a>&#8217;s network that can push up to 80-100Mbps and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> has previously demonstrated connections that were able to deliver <strong>300-400Mbps<\/strong>, although the limits of radio spectrum (available frequency), network congestion and existing hardware usually prevent such speeds from becoming common.<\/p>\n<p>Never the less 4G is continuing to demand more capacity and future 5G networks, which are often promoted as being Gigabit class services, are almost certain to need more capacity than the 150-200Mbps stated above.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of G.fast&#8217;s commercial availability, we&#8217;re currently expecting a major pilot to launch this summer and then the official <strong>commercial roll-out<\/strong> should begin during <strong>Summer 2017<\/strong>.
