With demand for cellular data continuing to rise and outdoor small cells seen as an essential element in the long-term delivery of high-capacity urban networks, technology and product development company Technology Partnership (TTP) has devloped a new small cell designed specifically for deployment on lamp posts.

8093 TTP’s new eNodeB is simply fitted into a lamp post’s standard photocell socket, providing the quickest possible installation without any modification to the lighting column or its power supply.

Based on the Freescale BSC9131 QorIQ Qonverge processor the dcevice  incorporates 4G/LTE access point software from ip.access and has been demonstrated with the Quortus EPX Core evolved packet core. It is targeted at 50 metre cells, supporting up to 32 active users at downlink rates of up to 100Mbps.
The unit presents a Gigabit interface for S1/X2 and provides Power Over Ethernet out, enabling the use of a wide range of streethaul technologies.
