Concurrent Coordination: Methodologies for putting into productive use locations around a licensed station where a new applicant would either cause or receive harmful interference but where the licensee can deploy microwave paths, since the paths were coordinated at the same time as the station.

A Concurrent Coordination Primer

A perfect point-to-point antenna radiates and receives in only one direction :



 



In reality point-to-point antennas radiate and receive in all directions :


 




Legacy point-to-point microwave only uses the antenna once :



Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the radiated and received power in ALL directions could be put to productive use?


It can, through an optimized concurrently coordinated footprint :







Concurrently Coordinated Footprint Benefits :

• Large New Market Opportunities in Licensed Bands for Backhaul, Access and Smart-Grid Applications
• Supports PTP, MPTP and PTMP
• Supports FDD, TDD, FDD-TDMA and TDD-TDMA
• Suitable Products in Unlicensed Bands can be Re-Banded to Operate in Licensed Bands
• Lower Coordination and Licensing Costs
• Lower Logistical and Network Deployment Costs
• Small Antennas Allowed
• Dramatically Lower OPEX (Antenna Site Leases)
