RadioFrame Networks Introduces New S-Series IP Picocell Base Transceiver Station for GSM Networks at 3GSM World Congress

RadioFrame's S-Series Deploys GSM Over IP for Increased Wireless Network Capacity and Coverage in Homes and Small-to-Medium Enterprises

RadioFrame Networks, a leader in modular radio solutions for telecom operators, will introduce its S-Series picocell base transceiver station (S-BTS) for GSM networks in stand C34 at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, February 13 to 16.

RadioFrame Networks' S-Series is the newest product line in its portfolio of software-controlled RF technology and IP base backhaul, such as DSL or cable modems. Based on 3GPP standards for pico base transceiver stations, the S-Series single-board transceiver integrates mobile voice and data services for GSM/GPRS and EDGE networks for applications in homes to small-to-medium enterprises.

"We are excited to introduce the S-Series to the world at the 3GSM exhibition," said Jeff Brown, President and CEO of RadioFrame Networks. "The S-Series brings the ultimate convergence between the fixed and mobile worlds, helping operators serve home and office users to receive enhanced cellular services."

The S-Series gives network infrastructure providers more efficient and cost-effective capabilities to effectively meet the requirements of their service provider partners. Mobile network operators (MNOs) deploying the S-Series system will now have added flexibility to enhance their customers' voice and data services, while improving both coverage and capacity. More importantly, this can all be accomplished by adding radio resources in very small increments.

The S-Series picocell comes packaged in a very small housing roughly the size of a typical broadband modem that can be branded to a carrier's or OEM's specifications. A combination of innovation and standards-based interface provides outstanding performance, reliability and security.

The S-BTS package includes a single 1-TRX transceiver, all required service logic, and a multiple-switched-ports router with firewall security and Web services to provide the MNO remote fault management and configuration capabilities. The S-Series also provides access-rights controls, authentication and encryption functions within live carrier networks.

The S-Series operates in all four of the primary GSM bands: 850, 900, 1800 and 1900.

RadioFrame Networks is backed by some of the leading voices in wireless communications, including wireless pioneer Craig McCaw, Ignition Partners, VantagePoint Venture Partners, Ericsson Venture Partners, Sprint Nextel, and Samsung Ventures.
