 Alcatel-Lucent has joined forces with industry partners to develop lightRadioTM which will improve the end user services by increasing bandwidth per user.
Ben Verwaayen, Chief Executive Officer of Alcatel-Lucent, said: “Today’s and tomorrow’s demands for coverage and capacity require a breakthrough in mobile communications.”
Wim Sweldens, President of Alcatel-Lucent’s Wireless Division said: “lightRadio will help mobile operators evolve their networks to address the mobile broadband deluge He added: “lightRadio will signal the end of the basestation and the cell tower as we know it today.”
According to Alcatel-Lucent, lightRadio will represent a new approach where the base station, typically located at the base of each cell site tower, is broken into its components elements and then distributed into both the antenna and throughout a cloud-like network. |
