Simplifying radio access network clocking using proven DSPLL technology

Carriers Deploying Low Cost, Low Power RAN Nodes

• Wireless service providers under pressure to expand network capacity and coverage to support bandwidth- intensive services.  

• Operators deploying a heterogeneous network (HetNet) of small, low-power Radio Access Network (RAN) nodes: 
  • Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) in 4G/LTE base stations increase network coverage and capacity. 
  • Small cells improve coverage in dead spots, and offload wireless data to fixed wireline IP networks closer to the end user. 
  • Distributed Antenna Systems (MDAS)  complement RRHs and small cells to extend network coverage and ensure seamless “five-bar” service in office parks, hotels and public areas like arenas and concert facilities.
