Taiwan-based Tecom has announced the availability of a complete range of UMTS small cells, all powered by Femto-Engine intelligent cell software from Ubiquisys.
The range includes residential, enterprise and outdoor cells.
Tecom differentiates its new small-cell range by pointing to the tendency of vendors to split their small-cell portfolio into low-cost femtocells for residential deployments and traditionally-engineered picocell/microcell technology for enterprise and public spaces.
Tecom says the new range is based on self-organizing femtocell technology which dramatically reduces the deployment and management costs, especially for enterprise and public space/outdoor cells.
The new line includes: FC1020 Residential (a compact 8 call / 14.4Mbps HSPA femtocell with outputs of 10 or 20mW), FC1060 Enterprise (a 16 call HSPA femtocell with outputs of 100 or 250mW) and the FC1080 Public space and outdoor (a 16 call HSPA small cell with outputs of 250mW or 1W).
