Ubiquisys announced a new standards-compliant WCDMA femtocell solution with Nokia Siemens Networks. The solution features standardized Iuh and TR-196 interfaces between Ubiquisys Femtocell Access Points and Nokia Siemens Networks Femto Gateways and Femto Management Systems. By end of Q4 the solution will have been tested by several mobile operators and becomes generally available in Q1 2011.
“Together we’re responding to operator demand for a sophisticated yet standardized femtocell solution, one that can deal with shared spectrum deployment and that provides complete flexibility in small cell deployments,” said Chris Gilbert, CEO of Ubiquisys.
“Based on a relationship that dates from 2008, both companies have worked intensively to create this formidable solution. It is a big step forward in our way towards building a mature femtocell mass market” said Timo Hyppölä, head of 3G Femto product management, Nokia Siemens Networks. |
