At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014, KT Corporation today announced its small cell solutions targeted at the migration of LTE WARP to WARP+ for both Network and Service Evolution.
The Intel Transcede SoC platform supported by Radisys’ LTE TOTALeNodeB small cell software serves as the foundation for all of KT’s small cell solutions, from residential to enterprise and outdoor picocells, with enterprise deployments underway, said KT.
“Radisys and Intel have delivered a solution for our enterprise small cell deployments, making it an easy decision to turn to them again as we move to leveraging small cells across our entire network,” said Yonggyoo Lee, vice president of KT.
KT’s customers will benefit from the increased capacity and coverage that small cells bring to the network.
KT will be demonstrating its LTE-A carrier aggregation solution based on the Intel Transcede SoC T2xxx solution and Radisys’ TOTALeNodeB software.
Radisys’ Trillium TOTALeNodeB software enables customers to leverage one software solution that can support all small cell deployments across the network, from residential cells that support up to eight users to Pico cells that support 100+ users. This scalability enables rapid deployment.
Intel Transcede SoC devices, T2xxx and T3xxx, includes support for time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA), wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA)/high-speed packet access (HSPA+) and both frequency division duplexing LTE (FDD-LTE) and time division multiplexing (TD-LTE).
Radisys’ Intel -based solution has been integrated by a number of small cell vendors into their product portfolios, including Qucell, Juni Korea and Dongwon T&I. These companies have worked with Radisys and Intel to deploy commercial small cells across KT’s LTE WARP+ network.
KT is going to roll out residential femto cells as well as outdoor femto cells in 2014.
