"DragonWave has long recognized that Avenue is what was needed at the street level to effectively deploy microcellular coverage with high-performance backhaul," said Peter Allen, President and CEO, DragonWave.
DragonWave's newly announced Avenue product line is the industry's smallest microcellular device, which also utilizes the industry's smallest antenna to integrate microcellular backhaul, third-party base stations, power supply, battery backup, switching, and management in an all-in-one, environmentally-shielded enclosure.
"Clearly, as mobile operators are moving to microcellular architectures, innovative wireless backhaul solutions are needed" said Kurt Van Wagenen, FiberTower President and CEO.
This innovative microcellular foaming technology also saves petroleum as well as reducing overhead and energy costs by reducing the amount of time it takes to produce plastic parts.
Designed to meet city-zoning restrictions for street level deployments, the DragonWave Avenue incorporates the industry's smallest antennas to operate seamlessly with FiberTower's area license frequencies and provide unsurpassed microcellular backhaul performance.
With Avenue now being marketed with FiberTower's expansive portfolio of 24 GHz and 39 GHz licenses, mobile carriers can deploy six-inch and smaller antenna solutions to provide street-level microcellular backhaul offerings.
Our alliance with FiberTower assists operators by allowing them to leverage mini-antennas to meet burgeoning traffic demands using microcellular underlay networks.
Creating the instrument panel structure in microcellular foam saves an estimated $3 US/vehicle vs. solid injection molding.
The MuCell® process, invented at MIT and then developed for commercial use by Trexel, involves the highly controlled use of a gas such as CO2 or nitrogen in the injection-molding process, which creates a uniform microcellular material structure
OTTAWA, CANADA--Marketwire -10/25/11- The burgeoning need for high-capacity data traffic to meet this growth within dense, complex urban areas has become a key motivator for microcellular deployments and is driving innovation in network development initiatives.
