Proposal Name: OPTICALRAN Full title: 5G/6G FWA with optical RAN Organisation: Peta Optik (SME) - petaoptik.com Country: Spain Topic: TOP7 - Increased capacity: 6G channels 6G-XR Facilities: South node - 5GBarcelona OPTICALRAN aims to enhance Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) Radio Access Network (RAN) capacity by using optical frequencies instead of microwaves or millimeter waves for FWA channels, impacting optical links between User Equipment (UE) and gNodeB. Achieved data rates exceed 10 Gbps per UE over distances up to 2 km, with potential to reach over 100 Gbps by refining designs. Using a 1500nm wavelength, large optical MIMO channels can be more easily established than radio MIMO channels.
