Ubidyne and ZTE Integrates Multi-Standard Active Antenna Systems
Ubidyne has announced that the company has completed the integration of its multi-standard uB900 Antenna Embedded Radioâ„¢ product with ZTE's SDR (Software Defined Radio) basestation platform. Ubidyne has now completed integrations with three of the world's top five leading wireless OEMs.
ZXSDR 8200 is the new generation compact outdoor micro basestation which adopts advanced SDR technology. The hardware architecture, based on ZTE unified MicroTCA platform and MCPA technology, is adopted within the radio. This revolutionary platform supports multiple wireless access technologies including GSM, UMTS, CDMA2000 and WiMAX.
“ZTE’s growth is accelerating and they have now been recognized as the fourth largest firm in the global wireless communication market," stated Ken Hawk, CEO of Ubidyne. “By working closely with ZTE, we will be able to rapidly deploy our closely integrated product helping operators across the globe to dramatically reduce their CAPEX and OPEX.â€
“Multi-RAN distributed basestation sites with Ubidyne’s Antenna Embedded Radio, combined with ZTE’s SDR technology, offer the highest level of integration possible, dramatically reducing installation and maintenance costs for operators while optimizing network performance for their subscribers,†said Dr. Wang, CTO of Radio at ZTE.
The first call with Ubidyne’s uB900 Digital Antenna Embedded Radio, connected to the ZTE SDR, took place in May and exceeded expectations with impressive results. Live demonstrations of the world’s first Antenna Embedded Radio with LTE capability will take place at the 3rd NGMN Industry Conference in Shanghai beginning 2 June 2010.
