Chinese small cells and customer premises equipment vendor, Baicells has selected Radisys’ CellEngine TOTALeNodeB LTE small cell software to deliver LTE in unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) for its Light4G small cell solution. Baicells’ Light4G small cell solution combines the LTE-U technology with small cells, enabling mobile operators to provide high-capacity LTE mobile service at lower cost, thus reducing their CapEx and OpEx.
Baicells' Light4G small cell solution is being implemented by China Mobile, which has already completed field trials with deployments planned for later this year.
According to Baicells, as an alternative to purchasing expensive new spectrum, mobile operators are beginning to aggregate their existing licensed LTE spectrum with unlicensed spectrum in the 5 GHz band to add bandwidth to their radio access networks.

We deliver an end-to-end LTE solution to our customers from the RAN to the Evolved Packet Core, and selecting Radisys’ turnkey small cell software was critical to our ability to get to market quickly with an innovative LTE-Unlicensed solution for our mobile operator customers.
Tom McQuade, general manager, CellEngine and Trillium Software, Radisys
We’re excited about this strategic design win for Radisys, and the opportunity to support Baicells’ solution trials and deployments in China today and in North America in the near future.
