Inforient Infrastructure Sdn Bhd specialize in providing solutions to support operators in the LTE era and handle the rapid growth of mobile data traffic. They address this demand through Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets), where small cells are strategically deployed to complement the larger macro cells. While a traditional macro cell provides wide-area coverage, small cells (like picocells or femtocells) are low-power, short-range base stations deployed in high-traffic areas such as stadiums, shopping malls, or dense urban blocks. This “densification” of the network improves capacity and coverage by bringing the network closer to the user, reducing the strain on the main cell towers.

Inforient also provides solutions for fiber optic connectivity in both Fronthaul and Backhaul, which are critical for high-speed data transmission in modern mobile networks.

• Fronthaul: This is the network segment that connects the Radio Unit (RU) at the top of a cell tower to the Baseband Unit (BBU), which performs the digital signal processing. In traditional setups, the BBU is located at the base of the tower. In modern, centralized or cloud-based RAN (Radio Access Network) architectures, the BBU is in a centralized hub. Fronthaul requires high-capacity, low-latency links, which are typically provided by fiber optic cables, to transport raw, unprocessed radio signals.
• Backhaul: This is the network segment that connects the Baseband Unit (BBU) to the operator’s core network, and from there to the public internet. It’s responsible for carrying aggregated data traffic from multiple cell sites. Backhaul can use a variety of technologies, including fiber optic, microwave, or satellite links, but fiber is preferred due to its high bandwidth and reliability.

This is just one example of how a telecom infrastructure service provider focuses on specific solutions to meet the needs of the modern digital world. The industry plays a critical role in supporting new technologies and ensuring seamless, secure, and reliable communication for everyone.
