Ericsson’s wideband Radio 2242 supports two bands with three standards and can be connected to a single Baseband and antenna. It is ideal for the Indian market since it enables operators to build extremely compact dual-band, triple standard sites with a minimum amount of hardware, occupy 50% less space and can be deployed more easily and faster. Exclusive to Ericsson is instant power sharing, used in the wideband Radio 2242. This capability allows power to be instantly shared between carriers, standards and bands, optimizing the use of radio resources. The output power of the radio is shifted instantaneously to the band and standard where it is needed most.
Ericsson Dual Band Radio Dot has been designed to provide a significant boost to indoor mobile broadband connectivity. Customized for the Indian market, this Dual Band Dot combines two frequency bands (1800 MHz and 2100 MHz) in one form factor thereby simplifying deployment, reducing the cabling cost and fully leveraging the available spectrum. Indoor environments pose special challenges for service providers as most residential and small business or venue requirements are addressed by the outside-in effect of the outdoor macro or micro networks. Several operators around the world have deployed Ericsson’s Radio Dot and have seen major improvements in indoor connectivity and data traffic.For example, one of Indonesia’s leading telecom operator XL Axiata deployed Ericsson RDS at Jakarta Airport which boosted indoor connectivity by up to 300 percent.
