Verizon first in the US with Ericsson Radio Dot System
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson Radio Dot System installed at Verizon regional headquarters
building in Metro Detroit
* High-capacity indoor small cell solution proving robust and stable
Provides LTE indoor coverage and capacity that is fully coordinated with
outdoor macro network
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) today announced that Verizon has the first deployment of
the Ericsson Radio Dot System in a commercial building in the United States.
Installed in Verizon's regional headquarters in Southfield, Michigan, the Dot is
a breakthrough solution that boosts indoor mobile coverage and capacity. In this
first office application, the Dot is also supporting Verizon's Advanced Calling
service, including HD Voice and Video Calling over LTE, in indoor environments.
In addition to installation, Ericsson provided professional services including
design and verification.
Quick and easy to deploy in a broad range of deployment scenarios, the Ericsson
Radio Dot System is fully integrated with the macro network and enables remote
software upgrades as technologies evolve. The system uses compact Radio Dots and
Cat 6A cabling, which reduces cost, complexity and power consumption for
operators.
Adam Koeppe, VP, Network Planning, Verizon, says: "Our work with Ericsson and
this deployment of the Radio Dot System in one of Verizon's key office locations
is another example of how we are leveraging the best technology to densify our
4G LTE network and deliver seamless customer experiences, indoors and out."
The installation follows the successful testing of the Ericsson Radio Dot System
by Verizon in its Lab in Walnut Creek, California.
Arun Bansal, SVP and Head of Business Unit Radio, Ericsson, says: "The Ericsson
Radio Dot System is quickly becoming the most compelling indoor small cell
solution for mobile operators. Large buildings and other venues often create
coverage challenges. With the Ericsson Radio Dot System, operators can now fill
this gap in their networks, providing capacity in challenging indoor
environments."
The Radio Dot System introduces a revolutionary antenna element, or "Dot," which
delivers mobile broadband access to users. It is compact, weighing only 10.5
ounces, and is very easy to mount. With its convenient size, scalability, and
compelling evolution path, the Radio Dot System caters to both business and
consumer users in a broad range of enterprise buildings and public venues. These
include the medium to large indoor locations not addressed by current
solutions.
