Ericsson and Telefónica go live with Radio Dot System at MWC
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Telefónica and Ericsson deploy the Radio Dot System at Hotel Ayre Gran Via
Barcelona (Telefónica's headquarters during the congress) and in La Fira
Hall 2 Ericsson stand at MWC 2015
* LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation supported between 1800 MHz Radio Dot System
and Telefónica's legacy 2600 MHz network
* High-capacity indoor small cell solution addresses app coverage requirements
of medium-to-large buildings and venues
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) today announced that the Radio Dot System will go live on
the Telefónica network at MWC 2015. Dots are deployed in both the Hotel Ayre
Gran Via Barcelona (Telefónica's headquarters during the Congress) and at the
Ericsson stand in Hall 2 in La Fira. The Ericsson Radio Dot System is designed
to enable mobile operators to deliver consistently high performance app coverage
in a broad range of medium-to-large enterprise buildings.
Enrique Blanco, Telefonica Global CTO, says: "The Ericsson Radio Dot System
provides compelling benefits to both consumers and enterprise customers, so we
are excited to go live with the Dot at MWC 2015. We introduced LTE to Mobile
World Congress at the Hotel Ayre Gran Via in 2012, which makes it a great venue
to highlight the Dot's benefits such as full integration with the macro network
and LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation capabilities in 2015."
In Barcelona, the Ericsson Radio Dot System uses the 1800 MHz spectrum band,
supporting LTE-A Carrier Aggregation in coordination with Telefónica's 2600 MHz
LTE commercial network. Combined Cell, a feature expanded in Networks Software
15A to improve downlink performance in a broader range of operator environments,
is also supported on the Dot.
Arun Bansal, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Radio, Ericsson,
says: "Telefónica and Ericsson are partners in LTE innovation and this latest
deployment of the Radio Dot System, supporting macrocell coordination, Carrier
Aggregation and Combined Cell capabilities, is further proof of that commitment.
Dots have now been deployed for operators around the world, and we look forward
to showcasing this innovative indoor solution with Telefónica at the center of
the mobile universe, MWC 2015 in Barcelona."
The Radio Dot System introduces a revolutionary antenna element, or "Dot," which
delivers mobile broadband access to users. It is compact, weighing less than
300 grams, and very easy to install. With its convenient size, scalability, and
compelling evolution path (synchronized with the macrocell network), the Radio
Dot System caters to both business and consumer users in a broad range of
enterprise buildings and public venues, including the underserved medium to
large indoor locations.
In addition to the live Radio Dot Systems, other Ericsson Small Cell solutions
for both indoor and outdoor deployment will be featured in the Ericsson stand at
MWC 2015 in Hall 2, including the RBS 6402 Indoor Picocell, targeted at smaller
buildings and venues, and License Assisted Access (LAA), which extends the
benefits of LTE to unlicensed spectrum.
