Operators worldwide have begun deploying small cells in hotspot areas to enhance overall network capacity in the face of explosive growth of mobile broadband network traffic. Many small cell deployments in these hotspot areas, however, are hampered by a lack of transmission resources; and such is commonly the case with available optical fiber. Operators all over the world are now focused on meeting these transmission and flexible deployment challenges facing small cells.
Huawei’s formulation of the eRelay solution was based on the analysis of micro base station deployments. It utilises SingleRAN’s unified hardware platform, advanced LTE technology, 256 high-order QAM and MIMO technology, and provides wider bandwidth and greater transmission capacity. A more cost-efficient solution that works the same way as microwave transmissions, the Huawei eRelay solution uses NLOS transmission and supports PtMP transmission.
Deng Taihua, President of Huawei LTE TDD&WiMAX&TDS Wireless Networks, said, As the best business partner for operators, Huawei is dedicated to providing customer-centric solutions to help operators deal with the challenges of mobile broadband era. eRelay solves problems associated with transmission constraints, promotes small cell deployment ,improves capacity for hotspot areas and ultimately improves user experience.
