BelAir100SP Strand Picocell
The BelAir100SP Strand Picocell is a compact wireless base station that leverages available broadband infrastructure enabling Mobile Carriers and Cable Operators to deliver mobile broadband internet via both licensed and unlicensed wireless spectrum. The BelAir100SP solves the problem of how to mount, power and backhaul small cell base stations. Now, large scale, small cell deployments can cost-effectivly address mobile network congestion in areas of high user concentration.
The BelAir100SP is designed to be mounted on existing cable infrastructure, with both power and backhaul provided by the broadband hybrid fiber coax (HFC) plant. Available in a range of mounting options, the BelAir100SP can be deployed from cable plant installed on poles, in cabinets and pedestals and even underground. The modular design of the BelAir100SP currently supports a range of licensed 3G radios, with a migration to LTE, along with dual 802.11n Wi-Fi radios.
The BelAir100SP combines BelAir Networks proven robust, compact hardware with their industry-leading BelAirOS operating system software supporting carrier-grade security, edge based policy enforcement, and network-wide mobility. In addition to the 3G and dual 802.11n radios and associated antennas and duplexers, the BelAir100SP includes a DOCSIS® 3.0 Modem, plant power supply, and power protection/splitter.
The BelAir100SP is designed to be installed and operational -- integrated with both the Cable Operator and the Mobile Carrier's network and back office in less than 15 minutes.
