InterDigital and ip.access: Wi-Fi and LTE Small Cell Integration

Feb 2013/ Posted By: vandewille

<p>InterDigital was mentioned in a wonderful article today by Caroline Gabriel of Rethink Wireless, who wrote <a target="_blank">this piece</a> regarding our joint announcement of Wi-Fi/LTE integration in small cells. You can read the press release at ip.access&rsquo; website, <a target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Small cells are an important operator-focused solution, and much of the talk in the mobile space over the past year has been on Wi-Fi/cellular integration &ndash; including a <a title="Wi-Fi/Cellular Integration White Paper" href="http://www.interdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Cellular_WiFi_Integration-White-Paper.pdf">white paper that we wrote</a> outlining various technology approaches to the issue. The technology with ip.access gives operators the capability to integrate LTE and Wi-Fi within small cells, and what that allows operators to do is maintain Quality of Service (QoS), regardless of network, while intelligently managing network resources.</p>
<p>The demonstration will be part of ip.access&rsquo; booth in Hall 7 Stand E105 at Mobile World Congress, and stay tuned for a breakdown of the various technologies we&rsquo;ll be showcasing in Barcelona.</p>
