23rd March - AirWalk Communications, an innovator of 3G IP
Radio Access Networks (RAN), today announced a femtocell solution
for CDMA voice and data coverage for the home or small office.
AirWalk’s femtocell is a low-cost consumer IP-RAN designed
to be located inside a building or home. It integrates directly
into an operator’s existing radio access network through
a residential broadband connection. These dedicated indoor
cells are set to become an integral part of an operator’s
architecture by delivering improved in-home voice and data
service to consumers. Operators benefit from increased network
capacity without additional macrocell expansion, and calls
established in the home will handoff seamlessly to the traditional
macro network. Small enterprises will benefit from improved
indoor coverage provided by AirWalk femtocell clusters.
“Our extensive experience with pico and micro IP-RAN
technologies uniquely qualifies AirWalk to create an integrated
all-in-one femtocell access product,” said Serge Pequeux,
president and CEO of AirWalk. “These inexpensive home
cells enable operators to reduce large scale network rollouts
while improving home coverage. The convenience of one wireless
device supporting both in-building and urban cellular service
is very appealing to users. With femtocells CDMA operators
can deliver an alternative to dual-mode access points.”
AirWalk’s advanced femtocell architecture combines the
Base Station Transceiver (BTS), Base Station Controller (BSC)
and network interfaces in one compact platform. This plug-and-play
unit connects directly to a DSL or set- top-box and auto-configures
itself to the operator’s network. By decentralizing the
backhaul costs wireless operators can maximize their quality
of service and continue to substitute fixed services in the
residential market.
