Femtocell solution demonstrated
Airvana has demonstrated what it claims as the first end-to-end LTE femtocell solution in partnership with Hitachi Communications.
The live demonstration was conducted for a Tier 1 mobile service operator in September 2011.
The solution used commercially available LTE terminals, the Airvana LTE femtocell, the Hitachi HeNB Gateway and Hitachi’s commercially available evolved packet core solution.
The demonstration included performance tests as well as live video streaming and internet browsing.
An LTE femtocell, also known as a home eNode B (HeNB), provides LTE base station functionality in a small form factor to ensure maximum LTE performance to users inside businesses and homes.
In wireless networks where data demands are constantly outpacing existing infrastructure, LTE femtocell solutions enable the handling of LTE data traffic while minimising the signalling load to the existing EPC elements in the core network.
