Conclusion:
EBlinks system reflects the evolution toward increasingly centralized telecom
architectures, and enables faster and easier deployment of 3G, 4G and future
5G networks
EBlinks technology has been selected for two 5GPPP initiatives Horizon 2020
program: Xhaul and Superfluidity
Wireless fronthaul provides a flexible and cost-effective interconnection
between base band and Remote Radio Heads
mm-Waves bands are needed to support C-RAN and 5G architectures

EBlink: leading Wireless Fronthaul, field proven solution, leading spectral

efficiency (up to 7.37 Gbps CPRI )

EBlink will use Xhaul and Superfluidity projects to evolve its innovative Wireless
Fronthaul solutions and to reach several tens of Gbps to cope with C-RAN/5G
fronthaul high capacity requirement
