nano3G^®

The end-to-end picocell and femtocell solution for mobile operators

You need to get your 3G signal into offices, shops and homes, fast. But you don’t want to sink millions into a complex infrastructure right from Day One.

nano3G is the only end-to-end femtocell and picocell solution that lets you start quickly and choose your level of up-front integration investment based on your chosen scale and strategy.

It’s cost effective from a few hundred Access Points but can scale up to residential deployments with full zero-touch provisioning. So you get to market quickly and match the cost base to the opportunity.

And it’s all integrated and supported by the world-class ip.access team.

The Benefits

• Solve in-building problems fast – while offloading macro traffic
• Flexible deployment – choose from a range of access points
• Easy network integration – Iuh and Iu standards-compliant
• Open or closed access – for offices, shops and homes
• Two-way handover – for a seamless user experience
• Carrier-class management – full alarming, reporting and KPIs when you need it (enterprises); simple ‘fire & forget’ when you don’t (homes)
• Proven technology – in the world’s largest femtocell deployment
• Market-leading performance – advanced RRM & bandwidth efficiency
• Scale from a few hundred APs – up to residential deployments
• Get supported all along the way – with expert consulting, planning, deployment, operations and management.

No other femtocell technology offers so much functionality with such a fast-start – and you choose the integration investment. So your in-building business pays for itself as it grows.

The components  

nano3G generates a high-quality 3G signal indoors and uses broadband IP backhaul for rapid deployment, low-cost operation and offloading macro traffic. The system components are:

Access Points (APs) – our range of proven E class enterprise picocells and S class office and c class consumer femtocells.  

Access Controller (AC) – flexible and scalable to handle and route all traffic between the APs and your core network. 

Element Management System (EMS)– manages the controller and all Access Points with full reporting, alerting and KPIs. 

Security Gateway and NTP servers – pre-integrated by our team

ip.access Service & Support – helping you with network design, deployment, installation, operations, maintenance, consulting and training.

In short, nano3G is a total solution: we don’t rest until your deployment is successful in the field.

How nano3G crunches time-to-market (and costs)

nano3G is a proven, carrier-class solution with all the performance, management and reporting you need.  But instead of a massive, up-front integration investment, you can scale this integration (and cost) to suit your needs.

Choose anything from full zero-touch provisioning through automated pre-provisioning or manual pre-provisioning – depending on your strategy, need for speed and up-front integration appetite. Choose open or closed access; two-way or one-way handover; the point is, you’re not forced into the full feature set (and integration commitment). Our flexible approach lets you decide.
