RICHARDSON, TX — (Marketwired) — 09/16/13 — Hitachi Communication Technologies America, Inc. (Hitachi CTA) and Contela Inc. today announced availability of carrier-grade full-featured LTE solution for competitive carriers in the United States with Contela-s LTE Outdoor Small Cells and Hitachi-s Mobile Core, including ER5000 MME, SGSN and Small Cell Gateway. Hitachi CTA Mobile Core software products are also now running as a virtualized solution, enabling quick deployment, support for small to very large systems with unlimited scalability for signaling and data throughput.
Mobile operators face many challenges with mass deployment of small cells to address ever increasing data demands. Major challenges include managing the growth of both signaling and throughput. The innovative architecture of Hitachi-s ER5000 Smallcell Gateway enables operators to independently grow signaling and data capacity as network and data demand evolve.
“Hitachi CTA is focused on providing competitive solutions that offer our customers the ability to easily deploy heterogeneous networks in rapidly evolving wireless market,” said Reg Wilcox, EVP Business Development of Hitachi CTA. “We believe that our ER5000 Smallcell System offers unique capabilities that provide significant cost benefits through improved network efficiencies.”
Contela has been selected by a leading Operator in South Korea as sole vendor for LTE Outdoor Small Cell, which launched this year. Contela-s LTE Outdoor Small Cell is South Korea-s first commercial LTE Outdoor Small Cell deployment. “Contela is a leading manufacturer of access equipment for wireless infrastructure and has developed a range of LTE Small Cells.
