Even as mobile operators continue to deploy LTE, subscribers are already craving what’s next, particularly 5G. You need to be able to support both—especially indoors, where the overwhelming majority of mobile data is consumed. Delivering reliable wireless service indoors increases your challenge. How do you handle signal propagation, high subscriber density, cell border interference and deployment costs?
The good news is that indoor networks that can migrate from LTE to 5G New Radio (NR) can mean higher revenues and more satisfied subscribers for years to come. The better news is that CommScope anticipated this opportunity. The result is OneCell®.
Using a Cloud RAN (C-RAN) architecture pioneered by CommScope, OneCell creates a single “super cell” across multiple access points throughout the building. By eliminating handovers and border interference, it enables high-reliability, high speed, low latency service; and with cell virtualization, multiple users can dynamically share the same frequencies, multiplying system capacity.OneCell consists of an intelligent baseband controller and distributed radio endpoints. Working together they provide the indoor performance and cost advantages that improve today’s LTE networks and are critical for tomorrow’s 5G deployments.
When it comes to monetizing today’s LTE and tomorrow’s 5G technologies, OneCell is cost-efficient to deploy, maintain and scale. So you accelerate and amplify the return on your infrastructure investment.
As a vital part of your radio access network (RAN) infrastructure, small cells need to coordinate—with each other and the macro network. However, unlike macro base stations, they are often deployed in high volume by users with limited radio frequency (RF) expertise.
That’s why small cell networks require automated tools for provisioning, radio frequency optimization and ongoing operation and support. CommScope’s Device Management System (DMS) platform automates the process of small cell network provisioning, making it quick and easy to coordinate the small cells in your network, whether you have a hundreds or hundreds of thousands of access points. The DMS features:
With 80-percent of all mobile sessions originating indoors, your 5G strategy requires an inside-out approach. That’s OneCell from CommScope. To learn how we’re powering the present and empowering the future, explore OneCell.
