Dense wavelength division multiplexing photonic transport for wireless access systems

Transporting PCS and BWA over a DWDM photonic transport system can meet system performance over the 40 km requirement. Both the PCS and BWA can be transported over longer distances however the PCS is limited by system timing requirements. Transporting these services over fiber at the native frequencies will provide both BWA and PCS networks operators with benefits such as incremental increase in coverage, increased capacity by extensively re-using assigned spectrum, and centralization of expensive transmission and control equipment, making the deployment of the above services quicker and less expensive.
