Ubiquisys and Nokia Siemens Networks Offer 3G Femtocell Solution
Ubiquisys has announced a new standards-compliant 3G femtocell solution with Nokia Siemens Networks. The solution features standardized Iuh and TR-196 interfaces between Ubiquisys Femtocell Access Points and Nokia Siemens Networks Femto Gateways and Femto Management Systems.
According to the company, by end of Q4 the solution will have been tested by several mobile operators and becomes generally available in Q1 2011. Standardized interfaces make femtocells independent of the network systems they connect to. This enables mobile operators to offer their customers a range of femtocell devices with specific capabilities, from a variety of vendors.
“Together we’re responding to operator demand for a sophisticated yet standardized femtocell solution, one that can deal with shared spectrum deployment and that provides complete flexibility in small cell deployments,” said Chris Gilbert, CEO of Ubiquisys.
