      Test Suite Cuts LTE Small-Cell Verification Time
      Duisburg, Germany: The mi!SmallCellVeriPHY test suite verifies 4G LTE small-cell PHY functionality during the product development process. The suite, developed by mimoOn, enables re-validation of the lower software layers after modifications to the hardware platform and in the upper protocol stack. In addition, product engineers no longer need to create such validation tools on the fly, saving product development time. The test suite complements mimoOn’s small-cell LTE PHY, protocol stack, and a

    10. Small Cell World Summit Report June 2012

      The annual jamboree for the small cell industry continues to evolve and grow organically. This year's event didn't just have a new name (no longer Femtocell World Summit), it had quite a different feel about it. There has been a substantial groundswell of opinion change from operators in the last six months. LTE, Wi-Fi, Policy Management alone won't be enough to meet their own data traffic forecasts, and everyone is now very serious about deploying substantial numbers of small cells. As before, Avren have their own style of running the event which attracts all the key players ...

    12. Mindspeed integrates DAS in small cells

      Indoor locations can boost capacity with femtocells and then distribute signals far and wide over cables Despite the rise of femtocells and Wi-Fi to boost indoor wireless coverage, an older approach, DAS (Distributed Antenna System), is still popular with some operators, especially in the US. Mindspeed, whose Picochip unit was the pioneer of femtocell silicon, is embracing the enemy by incorporating DAS support into its small cell system-on-chip range. The new offering allows equipment makers to
