Small cell SoCs enhance 4G LTE wireless broadband services
KT (formerly Korea Telecom), a Korean telecomms and internet company, has successfully deployed Broadcom's small cell SoC devices to enhance its high speed 4G LTE wireless broadband services. KT completed deployment and verification of its Broadcom-enabled small cells for commercial outdoor environments this quarter and plans to expand services to indoor residential locations in the second quarter of 2015.
ABI Research predicts the small cell equipment market to reach $5bn by 2018, as carriers and operators increasingly leverage small cells to cost-effectively support growth in cellular data traffic.
"With growing requirements on voice and video media services, mobile subscribers now require better coverage and higher-capacity networks," said Mr. Sang-hoon Park, Vice President, KT. "By integrating Broadcom's high-performance small cell SoCs into our overall 4G LTE deployment strategy, we can quickly and cost effectively address increasing capacity demands while optimising spectral efficiency."
"Broadcom's low-power small cell technology provides the carrier-grade reliability that KT and other leading operators require to meet increasing performance demands on the network," commented Greg Fischer, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Broadband Carrier Access, Broadcom. "Broadcom's high performance, flexible small cell solutions offer the ability to maximise network capacity and performance for indoor and outdoor environments."
