Included in 3GPP’s latest Release 16, IAB works by using airlink connections instead of a fiber connection to send data throughout a network. In Verizon’s case, it can initially circumvent the need for fiber by using IAB and then when fiber is installed at a location, the data being sent can be switched over to the fiber and the bandwidth can be redistributed for more capacity for customers. Make no mistake: Verizon favors fiber where it can use it, as the carrier emphasizes throughout its release. It’s invested billions of dollars acquiring fiber assets and building out its fiber footprint. But it acknowledges that working through local regulations and licensing and subsequently installing fiber can result in very long lead times. IAB can serve as a relatively quick solution in the interim. “Fiber is the ideal connection between our network facilities. It carries a ton of data, is reliable, and has a long roadmap ahead as far as technological advancements. It is essential. However, this new IAB technology allows us to deploy 5G service more quickly and then fill in the essential fiber at a later time,” said Bill Stone, vice president of Planning for Verizon, in a statement.Verizon said its fleet of mobile cell sites are regularly deployed in emergency situations and noted that until recently, they have required a fiber connection to carry data, restricting where they can be deployed, or a satellite connection, which are limited and costly. With IAB, coupled with portable generators for power, cell sites can be deployed more rapidly and to a wider range of locations. -- ???????? | |||
