Ericsson adds pico base station with integrated wi-fi access to its hetnet portfolio - Seite 2

compared to using a multivendor approach. The cost savings are due to
integration, flexible backhaul and less complexity in installation and
maintenance.

Ulf Ewaldsson, Chief Technology Officer at Ericsson, says: "With Ericsson´s new
small RBS products and our unique approach to hetnets, operators can offer the
same services with half the spectrum compared to using separate vendors for the
small cell layer. By combining an improved and densified macro layer with low-
power small cells, very high traffic volumes can be supported. This is the best
way forward for operators that want to offer their customers a mobile lifestyle
and a truly seamless user experience."

The pico RBS with integrated Wi-Fi helps to provide a comprehensive solution to
heavy traffic needs as part of the hetnet proposition, also providing modular
backhaul flexibility with cascading and aggregation support.
