Wireless infrastructure solution provider Radisys and AirHop Communications, a developer of advanced RAN intelligence software, have integrated AirHop’s eSON software with Radisys’ Trillium LTE TOTALeNodeB solution and Broadcom Corporation’s BCM617xx Series small cell silicon. This integrated Self-Organizing Network (SON) solution for LTE and LTE-Advanced small cell networks allows mobile operators to quickly deploy interference management functionality across a broad customer base. Trial deployments of the integrated SON solution are underway with leading mobile operators.

AirHop’s eSON is a cloud-based client-server architecture enabling coordinated optimization across small cell layers as well as between small cells and macrocells. It provides real-time optimization of available radio resources via multi-cell coordination to effectively provide optimal coverage, capacity for each cell, and quality of service for individual users. Radisys’ TOTALeNodeB software is a turn-key, deployment proven small cell solution that simplifies the development and integration of LTE small cells while cutting the typical product development time in half.

By integrating AirHop’s eSON within its TOTALeNodeB solution, optimized on Broadcom silicon, Radisys delivers a distributed SON solution that enables reduced OPEX via automatic discovery, self-configuration and other OSS level SON functions. In addition to real-time coordination among multiple cells coupled with interference management and load balancing algorithms, solution also provides improved system capacity via intelligent radio resource allocation.
