Intel Israel has developed a wireless solution for the last email
24 June, 2018
The Millimetric Wave Group has developed, together with Radwin, a local base station that enables the generation of wireless Internet connections at a very rapid rate, using WiGig technology at a frequency of 60 GHz. First pilot at the end of 2018
The development team of Millimeter Communications Systems, which operates at Intel Israel, has developed a wireless solution that will enable the connection of homes to fiber optic infrastructures via a WiGig wireless network, operating at a frequency of 60 GHz. The new technology was developed in a joint project with Facebook and Israel's Radwin company, providing home connectivity up to 2300Mbps and up to 1Gbps per apartment, at a distance of 300 meters, even under intense rain conditions.
Last week, Techtime saw the new technology when it was introduced to the company's employees as part of an internal conference of the Intel Wireless Connectivity Group. The group includes 1,500 developers in Israel, the United States, India and Europe, with the largest development team in Israel, with about 800 employees. According to Yossi Tzafati, Systems and Business Development Manager at the Millimeter Wave Team, the Israeli group entered WiGig six years ago, and in 2015 introduced a first solution that enables fast wireless connectivity between the PC and the docking station.
Facebook is coming into the picture
"About two years ago, we decided to check whether we could increase the range of communications, and we increased the number of radiant elements in a system from 16 antennas to 512 antennas, which create a Beamforming beam, enabling us to increase the range to more than 500 meters Optimal and 300 meters under rain conditions. "

At this point, Intel received a request from Facebook, which began to formulate the concept of the Terragraph network. Facebook's goal was to create an infrastructure of 60GHz transceivers and receivers in accordance with the requirements of the IEEE 802.11ay standard, which would be spread across pages of mesh-based street lamps. This network is supposed to bring high surfing speed to the homes, using millimeter wave infrastructures, on the one hand to communicate with each other and with the final consumers, and on the other side will connect to the cable and fiber optic infrastructures of the telecom companies.
STMICROELECTRONICS
In the market it is still not clear what exactly Facebook plans are. Is it planning to be a communications provider, or is it planning to provide a super fast free Wi-Fi service that will pass through its servers? In any case, she began to turn to giants in the field to cooperate with her. In recent weeks, Qualcomm and Nokia have announced that they are joining the initiative, and now it turns out Intel is also deep inside.
"The last mile will be wireless"
Intel Israel teamed up Radwin with the idea, and together they developed a base station that includes two WiGig transceivers, a communications processor developed at Intel Petah Tikva for wireless routers, and a PCIe interface that connects the transceiver to the wired infrastructure. Each station supports up to 16 apartments.
Tzafati: "Ultimately, the last mile will be wireless, the 60GHz frequency is free to use and does not require a license, and now all the major operators in the world are interested in this possibility." At the present stage, Intel and Radwin are at the technological demonstration stage, which will reach a pilot stage at the end of 2018, in which a network of several dozen radwin transmitters / receivers will be established. Although the equipment received the Terragraph certification of Facebook, the goal is much greater: to provide an alternative to the idea of bringing the fiber optic to the house.
