We’re pleased to announce an agreement with Nokia Networks (www.networks.nokia.com) to work together to deploy pCell with wireless operators starting in 2016, initially in high-density areas such as stadiums, venues and offices and later offer advanced services such as precise 3D location positioning and high-density Wi-Fi (see press release at www.artemis.com).
Hossein Moiin, Executive Vice President and CTO at Nokia Networks, said: “In addition to creating transformative internal innovations, we continuously look for and evaluate external innovations to bring the most advanced solutions to the operators. We are keen to see the potential for pCell in enhancing 4G LTE downlink and uplink capacity given the rapidly growing network demands such as concurrent HD video streaming.”
Steve Perlman, Founder & CEO of Artemis Networks, said: “We are delighted to collaborate with Nokia, the world’s leading 4G LTE network vendor, to offer pCell Proof-of-Concept deployments to selected customers. pCell technology has the potential to signficantly increase the downlink and uplink capacity of spectrum, while remaining compatible with existing 4G LTE devices.”
Under the agreement, Nokia Networks and Artemis will interconnect pCell technology with Nokia Networks’ core network infrastructure and support device hand-over to/from Nokia Networks’ existing networks. This will enable wireless operators to seamlessly deploy pCell into their networks to work immediately with their existing subscriber devices, such as iPhones, Android and tablets, using spectrum they already own.
Nokia Networks and Artemis have already been working with tier-1 mobile operators, the first of which has successfully concluded technical due diligence of pCell technology and is planning a pCell trial with Nokia Networks and Artemis at the start of 2016. Trials, followed by full deployments with other tier-1 mobile operators, venue operators and enterprise are expected to follow. Full press release at http://nokia.ly/1GyjjZY or Artemis.com
