This facilitates the smooth evolution of multimode technologies and capacity expansion.

Huawei Crowd-sourcing Small Cell solution consists of three parts:

Service Anchor ™, Based on Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Architecture which facilitate to build connection between indoor wireless cellular network and the enterprise application platform. The Service Anchor ™ solution based on open platform which supports third party interfaces, that help operator to introduce the enterprise applications and provides excellent enterprise cloud services. This mode will assist operators to integrate the site based resources and application benefit from site owners and partners. This will bring new opportunities for operator from traditional public market into the enterprise market.
