Workshop to share case studies of in-building cloud-RAN
The indoor RF environment becomes increasingly complex and challenging as the density of the deployment increases, especially in multi-story buildings where mobile devices are in a three-dimensional RF environment. In such an environment, a single handset often ‘sees’ a very large number of small cells, some on its own floor and others from floors above and below. Consequently, a device could undergo many handover events, undermining performance. Also, the radio signal inside buildings experiences flat fading (this is when a stationary handset sees signal from individual and uncoordinated small cells fluctuate significantly).
Solving these and other challenges is key to providing users with usable broadband for their devices in dense cities and large buildings.
To help engineers implement in-building coverage, Huawei will share real-world, successful case studies of in-building cloud-RAN deployments at a workshop during the upcoming Small Cells Americas event, December 1-3, in Dallas, Texas.
The focus of these workshops include:
- A highly-integrated, compact system with 3G/4G/WiFi and multi-band support;
- Industry-leading Cloud IBS with over 25 global deployments;
- A low-cost deployment utilizing existing CAT5/6 infrastructure providing PoE++;
- Innovative systems addressing Inside-Out challenges of street level coverage.
"There is no substitute for real world experience when deploying advanced small cell solutions," said Patrick Kaiser, Director of Wireless Product Management for Huawei Technologies USA. "Huawei is leading the charge on In-Building, utilizing our LampSite Cloud-RAN product and associated service offerings with almost two years of deployments in over 25 networks world-wide. We’re gaining experience in multiple wireless and enterprise vertical markets."
