HFCL’s newly launched advanced 4G & 5G backhauling solutions are highly cost-effective, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) to just one-tenth of that of conventional microwave or E-band backhaul solutions. The Rural connectivity solutions consume less than one-third of the power required by typical microwave or E-band solutions.

HFCL Limited announced the launch of two revolutionary Unlicensed Band Radio (UBR) products at the India Mobile Congress 2024, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. Promising to address the surging data demands of today’s network environments and yet maintaining sustainability, HFCL’s new launches include: 1 Gbps Small Form Factor 4G/5G backhauling Radio offering unprecedented spectral and power efficiency, and Energy efficient 2 Gbps Point-to-Multipoint Rural connectivity UBR.
These designed-in-India UBR products underline HFCL’s position as a key player in the industry for 4G/5G wireless backhauling and rural connectivity solutions. HFCL’s new UBR devices offer fibre-like speeds, power efficiency, and significant cost reductions on utilities and tower space, enabling telcos and service providers to save on CAPEX and OPEX alike.

Unlike any of traditional backhauling solutions, be it fibre optics, which can be costly and limited in reach, microwave systems which have inherent capacity constraints, and E-band radios which face reliability issues, HFCL’s UBRs deliver superior performance, ultra-high capacity and high reliability at almost one-tenth cost as compared to conventional backhauling methods.
The company has also hit a significant milestone of over 500,000 successful deployments of UBRs across its key markets including India, the UK, Europe, Middle East and Africa.
Gbps Small Form Factor UBR: The 1 Gbps UBR features a compact, portable design with an integrated antenna, which is easy to transport and install. Its small form factor is ideal for rapid deployment in both urban and rural environments and is packed with advanced features like bandwidth aggregation, low latency, minimized jitter, and long range etc. used for 4G and 5G backhauling. Even in compact form, the device provides 1 Gbps throughput, ensuring reliable and fast last-mile access and backhaul connectivity over longer distances. It also includes advanced RF interference mitigation technologies to enhance signal integrity and achievable throughput, optimizing network performance in challenging environments.

Gbps Point-to-Multipoint UBR: The 2 Gbps UBR is ideal for providing connectivity in remote villages from a Gram Panchayat in point-to- multipoint scenario, allowing simultaneous delivery of high-bandwidth to multiple villages from a single fibre-PoP. This makes it an ideal solution for extensive deployments in remote and rural environments.
These innovative UBRs are designed to deliver high throughput in the last-mile and offer telcos and service providers a scalable and robust wireless backhauling solution.
