Alcatel-Lucent 9365 Base Station Router Femto Simplifies the network architecture for increased performance and greater revenue opportunities
Overview The demand for broadband is increasing rapidly but many W-CDMA subscribers have limited in-house coverage and capacity, and use traditional fixed-line Internet access instead. The challenge for mobile operators is to offer less expensive in-building coverage to enable converged service bundling.
Alcatel-Lucent offers two versions of the 9365 BSR Femto: • Standalone 9365 BSR Femto – Offers W-CDMA functions only, for consumers who already have a DSL modem. Includes an Ethernet port to connect to the DSL modem. • Integrated 9365 BSR Femto – Incorporates W-CDMA functions, DSL backhaul and WiFi. Figure 1. The 9365 Base Station Router Femto flattens the network architecture.
Standards compliant The Alcatel-Lucent 9365 BSR Femto is compliant with all relevant standards, such as 3GPP. It changes the traditional approach to wireless infrastructure by applying both IETF and IEEE Internet protocols to an all-IP architecture in addition to the 3GPP standards of wireless solutions. All backhaul network interfaces, and the air interface are 3GPP-compliant.
