LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - May 29, 2014) - Airspan
Networks Inc., a leading provider of 4G LTE RAN solutions, is
pleased to announce that its new AirSynergy 3000 small cell has
been shortlisted for the Small Cell Innovation Leadership
award.
AirSynergy 3000 is a high performance LTE eNodeB urban small
cell optimized for outdoor deployment in Heterogeneous Networks on
non-traditional deployment locations (e.g. lamp posts, utility
poles, rooftops). AirSynergy 3000 supports non-contiguous, triple
or quad carrier, LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation in 1.x, 2.x and
3.x GHz bands, delivering end user service speeds of over 450
Mbit/s. In addition, AirSynergy 3000 has integrated Airspan's
iBridge NLOS backhaul solution creating a self-contained LTE small
cell system that radically reduces CAPEX and OPEX.
AirSynergy 3000 is an incremental development of Airspan's
single and dual carrier AirSynergy LTE RAN solutions developed for
carriers who have large, contiguous or non-contiguous, spectrum
allocations, and want to deploy outdoor small cells to fill
coverage gaps, massively increase network capacity and/or reduce
the costs associated with traditional macro cell deployment. It is
also ideal for small cell RAN sharing scenarios, where carriers
combine individual spectrum allocations to deliver higher capacity
using carrier aggregation, sharing small cell site costs and
reducing operational rollout costs when compared with standalone
networks.
"This nomination reinforces Airspan's leadership position in
urban small cells for LTE-Advanced networks. The Small Cell Forum
Industry Awards has established an enviable reputation based on
their absolute impartiality and integrity, and to be nominated in
this highly competitive category is a significant achievement,"
commented Eric Stonestrom, Airspan's President and Chief Executive
Officer.
Airspan's AirSynergy products are ground breaking LTE urban
small cells for outdoor and indoor Public Access deployments. Its
compact design enables discrete deployment in various locations
such as lampposts, telephone and power poles, building fronts and
rooftops. Unique to the product is the capability for integrated
wireless backhaul and the ability to self-configure, self-connect,
self-heal and self-optimize when deployed as part of a
Heterogeneous Network.
Airspan solutions address the needs of carriers, operators and
industrial applications across the globe. Airspan products
include indoor and outdoor LTE Pico cells, and outdoor, compact
Micro and Macro base stations, a wide variety of user devices, and
advanced core network products, providing 4G LTE connectivity
solutions operating in bands from 700 MHz up to 6.4 GHz.
