Vodafone Netherlands and Ericsson implement indoor picocell
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Vodafone Netherlands is the first operator in the world to deploy the
second-generation indoor picocell base stations (RBS 6402) in Vodafone shops
* Ericsson indoor picocell solution allows quick indoor deployment and optimum
coordination with the outdoor macro network
* Network live in 10 minutes with tablet-sized footprint and innovative plug-
and-play installation capabilities
Together with Vodafone Netherlands, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) implements second-
generation picocell base stations (RBS 6402) throughout Vodafone shops in the
Netherlands.
The RBS 6402 is a sleek, compact and high-performance indoor picocell radio base
station with multi-standard, multi-band capabilities and Wi-Fi support. It
installs quickly and easily to boost coverage and capacity in smaller venues
such as offices, restaurants, and stores.
As one of Europe's leading operators, Vodafone serves 32 million business
customers worldwide and supports companies with its quality services by
continuously innovating its business. In the Netherlands, Vodafone serves over
5 million business and residential customers through approximately 400 shops.
Valter D'Avino, Head of Ericsson's Region Western and Central Europe, says: "As
a strategic network supplier to Vodafone, Ericsson is delivering on our promise
to work closely with Vodafone to expand their opportunities in the enterprise
market with our small cell portfolio."
The RBS 6402 picocell complements the Ericsson Radio Dot System. The RBS 6402
addresses buildings up to 5000 square meter in size; for larger buildings and
venues the Radio Dot solution is preferred.
Smaller buildings and venues have the same mobile broadband coverage and
capacity requirements as their larger counterparts. The compact all-in-one
design of the RBS 6402 picocell delivers 300 Mbps LTE speeds with carrier
aggregation, doubling capacity in a tablet-sized footprint.
Ericsson's comprehensive range of small cell and carrier Wi-Fi solutions ensures
that mobile operators can address any mobile broadband coverage and capacity
requirement today and in the future. High-speed data connectivity within
enterprises is essential to support Vodafone customers continued drive for
productivity and flexibility. Deployments and upgrades are simple, addressing
growing capacity and coverage requirements. The user experience is consistent
wherever they go and the indoor network evolves in lockstep with the outdoor
network.
In 2014, Vodafone and Ericsson agreed to closely collaborate to pioneer the
deployment of such innovative in-building cellular solutions.
