At the Mobile World Congress 2014, Ericsson today said SoftBank Mobile has selected Radio Dot System, an indoor small cell solution, for a trial aimed at enhancing indoor coverage.
Ericsson earlier in the day said that Vodafone has already become its customer for Radio Dot System to boost the performance of LTE.

The indoor coverage and capacity solution provides seamless indoor and outdoor user experience across LTE and WCDMA networks, said Ericsson.
Junichi Miyakawa, executive vice president, director and CTO, SoftBank Mobile, said: “This trial combines antenna architecture and sleek design, which give us installation flexibility in a broad range of deployment scenarios. It also has a fully integrated management approach consistent with the WCDMA and LTE networks, enabling us to have better operation and maintenance with fewer resources to the system.”
The Ericsson Radio Dot System integrates with the outdoor WCDMA and LTE networks, supported on one dot, allowing the operator to ensure the delivery of consistent high performance voice and data coverage and capacity for enterprise buildings and public venues, including the underserved, high growth, medium-to-large building and venue category.
