FG360-MEA: A High-Performance 5G Marvel
The Fibocom FG360-MEA is a high-performance Sub-6GHz 5G module, meticulously tailored for the Middle East and Africa markets. With optional configurations of 6 or 8 antennas, as well as 2 x 2.5G SGMII and 4 x PCIe Gen 3 interface settings, this module provides customers with the flexibility to design hardware that aligns with the diverse demands of these markets. Leveraging the Carrier Aggregation (CA) capability with a bandwidth of 200MHz, FG360-MEA delivers an unparalleled 5G experience characterized by increased speed, greater capacity, and reduced network latency. This is particularly beneficial for a wide array of terminals, including Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), gateways, routers, industrial devices, medical equipment and Outdoor Unit (ODU).
ODUs, are at the heart of the 5G revolution in MEA. These units are responsible for bridging the gap between 5G networks and end-users. ODUs are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity even in remote and challenging locations.
Revolutionizing 5G Connectivity in MEA
The Middle East and Africa region is witnessing a robust surge in 5G subscriptions, driven by the growing demand for high bandwidth, low latency services, and the availability of cost-effective devices. This transformation is being led by a diverse range of devices and equipment, including outdoor units (ODU), gateways, routers, industrial devices, and medical equipment. The confluence of these innovations is set to usher in a new era of seamless connectivity, propelling MEA into the forefront of technological advancement.
Ericsson’s Mobility Report, released in June 2023, predicts that 5G subscriptions will account for 32 percent of the total by 2028, with more countries issuing licenses and spectrum to enable 5G network investment. By launching the FG360-MEA, Fibocom takes significant strides toward enriching the 5G module solution, contributing to the acceleration of 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) commercialization in the Middle East and Africa markets.
Boosting Connectivity with 5G + Wi-Fi 6
The FG360-MEA module offers end devices the advantage of dramatically faster wireless connections through the combination of high-speed 5G and Wi-Fi 6. This is achieved by addressing the configurations of MT7915+MT7975, reaching speeds of up to AX1800/AX3600. Notably, engineering samples of FG360-MEA are now available for further exploration and adoption.
Fibocom’s Commitment to Local Markets
Lars Thyroff, General Manager of Fibocom Wireless EU GmbH, expressed pride in the launch of FG360-MEA, emphasizing the company’s dedication to providing innovative wireless solutions to the Middle East and Africa region. He stated, “By adopting multiple optimizations on FG360-MEA, the module solution will bring Gigabit wireless experience to both individual and enterprise users in the local market.”
