Radisys unveils its Trillium® TOTALeNodeB™ 2.0 small cell software for Broadcom Corporation’s 617xx Series dual mode system-on-chip (SoC) solutions, enabling mobile operators to deploy LTE-FDD and LTE-TDD small cells.
Mobile operators are turning to LTE small cells to address growing data traffic on their networks, driven by consumer desire to download mobile video content. LTE-TDD, with its unpaired spectrum allowing flexible downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) traffic to travel in both directions on the same frequency band, is gaining traction. A number of mobile operators have announced plans to deploy LTE-TDD in 2014, including China Mobile, Softbank Mobile, Sprint and Reliance Jio.
According to Radisys, the integrated solution which maximizes spectrum efficiency, will be used in China Mobile's LTE-TDD trial deployments in the first half of 2014 with an initial focus on the Enterprise small cell market. The trial will be led by Z-Com, a Taiwanese wireless data solution provider.
“Radisys delivers small cell solutions with advanced LTE protocol stacks and comprehensive FDD and TDD support, while Broadcom is a leader in SoCs for the residential and enterprise small cell market,” said Greg Fischer, vice president general manager, Broadband Carrier Access, Broadcom. “The integrated solution enables the deployment of ultra-low cost, low power, high performance small cells to add essential capacity and coverage.”

“We continue to see momentum for our TOTALeNodeB small cell software for LTE-TDD deployments, particularly with our customers in Asia such as Z-Com, and Broadcom’s 617xx Series small cell silicon is ideally suited for LTE-TDD based small cells. We’ve been long-term collaborators with Broadcom, delivering turnkey LTE solutions to our customers to accelerate their time-to-deployment.”
