Outdoor Pico-cell

July 14, 2013

Airspan Networks launched its AirSynergy 2000 Outdoor LTE Pico-cell solution, which is available in FDD and TDD versions. The eNodeB can also be combined with Airspan’s iBridge NLOS Small Cell Backhaul solution to create a holistic high capacity end to end wireless LTE small cell system. Airspan demonstrated its LTE pico cell technology using 20 megahertz FDD operation during the Small Cell Forum World Summit in London, which delivered 150 Mbit/s on the downlink and 40 Mbit/s on the uplink. The same platform is capable of 106 Mbit/s on the downlink and 8 Mbit/s on the uplink using 20MHz TD-LTE. The company is also demonstrating iBridge, where speeds greater than 150Mbit/s in a 20 megahertz TDD channel are being achieved. This is the first public showing of a small cell backhaul technology compliant with the emerging backhaul standard, IEEE 802.16r. www.airspan.com
