SpectruCell -SDR- Base Station Presents Solution to US 3G Spectrum Rollout and Allocation Woes

date: May 10, 2001 - source: Advanced Communications

Advanced Communications released a statement confirming that the company's SpectruCell software defined radio (SDR) multiple protocol mobile wireless network base station operating platform can provide a definitive solution to the 3G spectrum allocation issues presently facing US regulators and operators. The SpectruCell base station has been designed with the ability to dynamically reconfigure a mobile network "on the fly'' via its proprietary software defined radio technology and could remove one of the key impediments facing 3G network roll outs in the US and Europe.

"While network operators can support both 2G and 3G technologies in existing 2G spectrum with currently available hardware defined equipment, SpectruCell exponentially increases the viability of this option by allowing for the potential to dynamically reconfigure the network according to call load,'' said Paul Staugaitis, ACT's Radio Frequency (RF) Team Leader. "In this way an operator could support both CDMA2000 and GSM in their existing 2G spectrum, with SpectruCell offering the potential to reconfigure the network in real time to suit call load from CDMA2000 or GSM users. Existing hardware solutions cannot offer the flexibility to dynamically alter network capacity between protocols and accordingly operating both 2G and 3G protocols in 2G spectrum has remained unattractive until now.''

With the political issues and confusion involved with the multiple 3G standards being proposed by various countries, the SpectruCell non-hybrid, pure form software defined operating platform is the safe choice for application developers as the implementation of 3G protocols is entirely in software and can be re-configured at will. With the current confusion over 3G standards (15+ proposed) it is virtually impossible for manufacturers to provide multiple solutions in hardware, whereas with the SpectruCell operating system all 15+ protocols can be supported on the one operating system if necessary. The SpectruCell software defined operating system will be available to third party and industry developers in July 2001, as previously announced. Given the multiple 3G standards being proposed, indications are that it may be the only viable 3G development platform available in the market for quite some time.

Perhaps most importantly, indications are that the SpectruCell base station will be deliverable at a cost factor 20%-30% below the cost for available single protocol hardware defined mobile base stations currently being deployed by network providers.

M-Profits: Making Money from 3G Services
ISBN: 0470847751

This book discusses 3G services from the view of what is needed for the service to provide value to the user, what is the value proposition for the user, how will money be made out of delivering the service, and discussions on how revenue sharing propositions might work to benefit content providers and network operators. 3G operators should take note of this highly recommended book.
