Telecom Lead America: ip.access has shipped an LTE-only
version of its new E-100 dual mode access point to five customers for
laboratory and field trials.
ip.access CEO Simon Brown said that customer interest has
been strong in the E-100.
The E-100 is a small cell Access Point targeted for use
in enterprises and public indoor environments.
The device will provide simultaneous 4G and 3G mobile
phone signals with data speeds of up to 150 Mbps and 42 Mbps respectively
and will also be able to support WiFi as an optional module.
ip.access founder and CTO Nick Johnson said small cells
will have a vital role to play in delivering LTE’s promise of high-speed data
for the mass-market and the E-100 will allow operators to quickly deploy that
capacity exactly where it is needed.
The E-100 will be integrated into ip.access’ nanoConverge
end-to-end small cell solution architecture, allowing operators to deploy the
E-100 alongside the company’s existing 3G small cells using the same gateways
and network management system.
