Huawei has tied up with Schreder, a outdoor lighting solutions provider, to launch Shuffle Site, a pole-shaped small cell solution.
Schreder’s LED light column Shuffle and Huawei’s outdoor small cell products are the foundation of the new small cell solution.
Huawei’s outdoor small cells as well as their antennas and transmission devices are integrated as separate modules within Schreder’s Shuffle products to form the Shuffle Site solution. As Huawei’s small cells develop, Shuffle Site supports modular upgrades for easy evolution and increased functionality.
With an ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing appearance hosting several practical functions, Shuffle Site will help operators leverage urban light poles to deploy small cells to enhance the coverage and capacity of mobile networks, Huawei announced at the Eighth Global Mobile Broadband Forum in London.
Shuffle Site is mainly intended for streets in dense urban areas, pedestrian street-level walkways, squares, and railway stations. By integrating small cells with light poles, Shuffle Site allows network sites to blend in well with its surroundings. This will promote the cooperation between the urban utility authority and operators in making comprehensive plans for light poles and mobile networks in cities.
Peter Zhou, chief marketing officer of Huawei’s Wireless Network Product Line, and Nicolas Keutgen, chief innovation officer of Schreder Group signed an agreement.
“Shuffle Site will create opportunities for operators to cooperate with urban utility departments. Such cooperation will make it possible for both parties to increase investment,” said Peter Zhou, chief marketing officer of Huawei’s Wireless Network Product Line.
