The nano3G picocell is a simple, powerful solution to the challenge of getting 3G into hard-to-reach places. It generates a high quality 3G signal indoors and uses broadband IP backhaul for rapid deployment and low-cost operation.

The highlights:

  • Deliver a great 3G user experience – in offices, shops and other hard-to-reach places.
  • Delight customers – with fast data speeds, great voice quality and no blocking.
  • Improve macro cell performance – remove in-building users from the macro network, freeing up capacity in the entire cell.
  • Cut costs – IP backhaul dramatically cuts the cost of installation and operation.

The nano3G system is an entire 3GPP Radio Access Network which integrates with any existing 3GPP core network via the standard Iu interface. nano3G consists of three components:

Picocells – nano3G Access Points (APs) are wall-mounted base stations connected to IP backhaul and powered over Ethernet.

Controller – the ip.access 3G Access Controller (AC) handles and routes all traffic between the APs and the existing core network.

Manager – provides all the facilities needed for operating and maintaining the picocells and controller. It collates alarms, manages performance and handles configuration.
