Gemtek Teams with Ubiquisys for Intelligent Femtocell and Small Cell Range
High volume femtocell manufacturer selects Ubiquisys model for new product
range
Swindon, UK and Hsinchu, Taiwan: 13 July 2011 – Ubiquisys, the developer of
intelligent 3G/LTE small cells, and Gemtek, the world-leading provider of
wireless broadband solutions, today announced that Gemtek will design and
manufacture a new range of intelligent femtocell and small cell products
using the Ubiquisys Femto-Engine system.
Under the terms of the agreement, Gemtek will use the Ubiquisys Femto-Engine
reference design and intelligent cell software to develop a new range of
residential and enterprise femtocell-integrated products, plus public-space
small-cell hotspots.
Gemtek is the world-leading provider of wireless broadband solutions, and is
already one of the world’s leading femtocell manufacturers. With core
competency in RF/Microwave design, software engineering and manufacturing
excellence, Gemtek also has strong strategic alliances with the worldwide
leading technology pioneers as their Alpha site.
Ubiquisys intelligent cell software is commercially proven to provide a
range of unique benefits for end users and operators. In residential
femtocells, its continuous self-adapting behaviour eliminates interference
problems and ensures a high quality user experience. In enterprise
deployments it enables femtocells to autonomously create a self-organising
network, taking the complexity and cost out of providing seamless indoor
coverage for any size and shape of business space. For public space capacity
hotspots, Ubiquisys enables low-cost installation and operation, plus the
ability to deploy at very high density to provide maximum data capacity.
“The rapid growth of consumer femtocells and public small cell hotspots
demands new levels of device innovation,” said Randy Hsu, CTO Gemtek. “The
Ubiquisys Femto-Engine model enables us to leverage our wireless broadband
expertise to develop innovative new intelligent cells for our customers.”
“Intelligent cells transform the mobile user experience and change the
economics of networks at the same time,” said Will Franks, CTO and founder,
Ubiquisys. “We’re delighted to be working with Gemtek, a recognised leader
in wireless broadband and a volume provider of femtocells.”
