Munich, Germany (PRWEB) September 13, 2012 – Node-H GmbH, the leading supplier of small cells software technology, is introducing an LTE small cells solution. The LTE solution can be combined with Node-H’s existing deployed HSPA+ solution to provide LTE/HSPA+ dual-mode cells. The Node-H LTE software runs on the new LTE System-on-a-Chip solutions from the leading semiconductor manufacturers and will initially support 150Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink. The software targets public small cells, enterprise cells and residential cells use cases. It addresses issues such as Radio Resource Management, Self-Organizing Networks, Interference Management and Coordination, and connects to the Evolved Packet Core through the standardized S1 interface. The solution leverages the existing Node-H small cells technology to allow for rapid entry to trial and market deployment, both in LTE-only cells and in LTE/HSPA+ dual-mode cells.
The rapid uptake of LTE is evidenced by the number of LTE handsets and surf-sticks being deployed. This is the fastest ever deployment of a new generation of communications technology. Operators are rolling out LTE coverage using a wide-range of cellular infrastructure technologies, comprising traditional macro-cells, outdoor small cells, enterprise small cells and residential femtocells. This heterogeneous roll-out is necessary to deliver data efficiently to where is it used.
Node-H software technology is available to be licensed by OEMs, ODMs or operators, and can be integrated with other technologies such as Enterprise Wifi solutions. The Node-H HSPA+ solution runs on the UMTS/HSPA+ SoC solutions of Broadcom and Qualcomm. The software runs on reference hardware platforms available from the semiconductor manufacturers, and can be ported easily to run on customer platforms. The technology can be used for residential, enterprise or outdoor carrier-grade cells. The Node-H HSPA+ solution is deployed at leading worldwide carriers and it is tested with multiple network equipment eco-system vendors.
Demonstrations of Node-H femtocell features can be viewed at the Node-H website http://www.node-h.com/showcase.html.
