Whether you love Thy neighbor or not, you will definitely love “Neighborhood small cells!”
As the saying goes, “Challenges bring out the best in us.” And now we’re facing a formidable one: The 1000x challenge.
Quick question for you—what technology do you use when you make a voice call on your shiny new 4G LTE smartphone? Answer - 3G, and in some cases even 2G!
Over the last few months, we were hard at work on envisioning, developing, prototyping and testing the newest enhancements of 3G/4G technologies. And now, we are proud to say that we’re ready to demonstrate them in the flesh. However, you will have to wait until Feb 27th to see them live in action!
Would you believe that meeting data demand can be as easy as child’s play? No? Check out this video (after reading my blog of course)!
During my recent talk about small cells and their evolution toward higher coverage, capacity and reach, a listener asked me, “Isn’t that what today’s picocells offer?” The answer is, “Exactly!” As we move toward femto networks, femtos will be used as traditional picocells, combining the plug and play benefit of femto architecture with larger coverage and capacity of picocells. Our recent announcement of femto chipsets supporting up to 32 users is a major step in that direction.
It is indeed fun to watch an abstract idea crystallize into a technology and to see it come to life, overcoming the doubts of non-believers, and the objections of naysayers. I experienced this feeling recently, while on the test drive of our over-the-air (OTA), LTE Advanced HetNet test system here in San Diego.
While there is a lot of buzz about LTE everywhere, the wireless industry is busy defining its future
