First Commercially Available Dual-Band 3G/LTE Small Cell
SCRN-310: Concurrent 3G and LTE Radio Node • 3G Radio
– 32 3G channels – 21 Mbps HSPA+ – 250 mw peak transmit, receive diversity
• LTE Radio – 32 active LTE users (64 w/upgrade) – 150 Mbps LTE (300 Mbps w/carrier aggregation) – 2x2 MIMO with 250 mW peak transmit power
– Single Ethernet cable, Power and Data over Ethernet – > 99% accessibility and <0.5% dropped calls in scalable deployments
§ Each Radio Node is a full sector 3G (or 3G and LTE) cell, not just a radio head § Deployed over Enterprise Ethernet LAN
§ SCRN-310 can be upgraded to two carriers of LTE § RN operating at 250 mw covers ~ 15,000 ft2
§ Single Services Node supports up to 100 RNs; systems can serve building as large as 1.5 million ft2
