Radisys, AirHop and Broadcom Offer SON-Ready LTE Small Cell

Radisys, AirHop Communications, and Broadcom have collaborated on a small cell solution that combines AirHop’s eSON software with Radisys' Trillium LTE TOTALeNodeB solution and Broadcom's BCM617xx Series small cell silicon.  The integrated Self-Organizing Network (SON) solution for LTE and LTE-Advanced small cell networks is currently in trial deployments with leading mobile operators.

“Our partnership with AirHop comes at the right time as mobile operators increasingly opt for a third-party SON solution to enable their small cell deployments,” said Todd Mersch, general manager, Software and Solutions, Radisys. “By integrating our TOTALeNodeB small cell software with AirHop’s eSON software and Broadcom silicon, we’re enabling operators to broadly deploy various types of small cells, from residential to urban, at an accelerated pace. We’re excited to see trial deployments already underway.”

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 dramatically 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:
