FCC Certification for 3G LTE Base Stations
25th August, 2009
US : The first manufacturer of 3G LTE base stations has gained US approval by the FCC. FCC Certified 3G LTE base stations for the 700 megahertz market are now being shipped in the US.
Alcatel-Lucent has received approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for its 700 MHz LTE base stations. This is a high performance compact LTE base station designed to help operators launch services quickly.
Service providers benefit by deploying LTE in the “digital dividend” spectrum bands, which can require fewer sites to cover a particular area, thus reducing overall environmental impact.
These new compact LTE radios are a key component of Alcatel-Lucent’s Converged Radio Access Network (RAN) offerings and further expand Alcatel-Lucent’s end-to-end LTE solution. Alcatel-Lucent’s LTE solution complies with the latest 3GPP standards and incorporates innovations from Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs such as Self-Organizing and Self-Optimizing (SON) capabilities that facilitate the rapid introduction of services and ensure that the network is dynamically optimized.
Alcatel-Lucent’s LTE base stations offer a superior level of integration with unique MIMO- optimised all-in-one RF modules, thus avoiding traditional losses in feeders and cables. This creates a lower power consumption profile, making them a great option for operators looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
“The fact that we’re already shipping 700 MHz gear is a strong indicator of the maturity of Alcatel-Lucent’s LTE offerings and highlights the rapid progress we are making in bringing LTE solutions to market,” said Mike Iandolo, President of Alcatel-Lucent’s Wireless Networks Product Division. “This achievement also demonstrates the central role Alcatel-Lucent is playing in wireless industry, in terms of the development and implementation of the LTE standards.”
