Summary

Supplement 30 to ITU-T L-series Recommendations provides a description of the cellular network with capacity transfer system that has been developed taking into account specific requirements for communications in rural and remote areas with special attention to low expenditure on all components of the system, focusing on low operating cost, low power consumption, very effective coverage zones and low requirements for maintenance of the system. The key benefit is achieved by relaying of the cellular air interface in a frequency band other than standard cellular, which allows the substitution of a significant part of the base station (BS) and microwave link (ML) or optical fibre links interconnecting them.
