BARCELONA -- Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today announced the launch of the RTN FO (Full-outdoor) microwave product, the industry’s first ultra broadband FO microwave with a capacity of up to 2 Gbit/s, at the Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona.

The RTN FO provides zero-footprint access for a multitude of micro base stations. Huawei has also rolled out the new compact case-shaped RTN 905 (only 1U high) and 42 GHz microwave. The complete product line-up helps operators construct advanced networking microwave backhaul.

“As LTE deployment picks up speed, the demand for more and smaller mobile access devices will grow as well, putting additional requirements on operators related to transmission speeds and site selection,” said Christian Chua, president of Transport Network Product Line, Huawei. “With Huawei’s RTN FO - which is a light, compact, energy-efficient and zero-footprint FO microwave - operators can successfully overcome these deployment challenges to build high quality LTE networks.”
