PALLASIUM; LEVERAGING CAPACITY 2 THE MAX

A number of products and solutions are available today to increase an overall network's capacity. These begins by adding more base stations (“cell split” technique), to adding more antennas, to usage of algorithms such as MIMO and AAS. Besides being expansive and often marginal performance, all these methods can not always be implemented due to “real life” constraints. This includes inability to install new towers or to accommodate additional equipment on existing ones.

Pallasium addresses the capacity challenge in a different way. Ideally, the wireless operator would want to use the full spectrum of frequencies it owns at each of its antennas. By doing that, the capacity generated in a given spectrum is multiplied by the number of antennas. Unfortunately, using the same spectrum at each antenna is almost always impossible, using today's technologies. This happens since interferences are generated and significantly degrade the quality of service, while forcing the network operator to split its spectrum to several groups, operated remotely enough to avoid interference. This results in a significant reduction of the overall network capacity.

Pallasium’s XSIC technology allows the network operator to reuse the same spectrum at neighboring antennas of the cell site. By applying sophisticated algorithms originally developed for military applications, potential interferences due the use of the same spectrum at neighboring antennas are avoided.

Pallasium's breakthrough technology provides an elegant, simple and low cost alternative to all today's existing solutions. Using its software-based solution, Pallasium's XSIC is able to increase a standard base station capacity by up-to 3 times of is original capability, without any additional hardware or antennas. Pallasium’s technology may also be operated on top of any MIMO solution, making the service provider benefit from both worlds.

Developed by Pallasium, XSIC technology addresses the drawbacks of current capacity enhancement techniques, as such that additional towers, antennas or base station equipment are absolutely not required.

This breakthrough technology provides significant value for both for the operator and the infrastructure vendor. It may provide an up-to three-time increase in capacity of a given network, thus substantiate the economics of any wireless network, while enabling it to successfully compete with incumbent technologies and service providers.

 

Pallasium solution provides BTS vendors special edge in their competition over network's capacity performance and cost-effectiveness. Operators now may significantly reduce their network's costs and avoid large huge and visible antenna sites and even maybe have an option to purchase a smaller piece of the spectrum, for the same capacity obtained.


Pallsium’s technology is applicable for today’s WiMAX networks in all frequency bands and deployment scenarios. It is particularly powerful in fixed urban applications and in wireless networks operating at the 700MHz band. Pallsium’s technology also perfectly suits the LTE- (Long Term Evolution) – the next generation of cellular networks.
