South Pacific Small Cell Summit: Welcoming the More Adequate Telecommunications Network by Using Huawei’s Small Cell Technology
Jakarta, Indonesia, 17 September 2015 – Huawei today conducted a prestigious international conference “South Pacific Small Cell Summit 2015”. Took place at Crowne Plaza Hotel Jakarta and attended by more than 150 industry leaders and experts from global operators in Indonesia, this event mainly discussed about solutions to improve the network quality of service and user experience by using small cell technology.
According to a Julian Bright, Senior Analyst at Ovum, small cell technology is an ideal solution for increasing network capacity, especially in bad coverage places or during peak-traffic hours. Small cells can also reduce the cost of deployment, support plug-and-play deployment and evolution to LAA, and create new business opportunities driven by the technology’s navigation capability.
Using “Building a Better Connected World” as its theme, this conference raised several topics regarding indoor and outdoor user experience improvement, indoor digital-oriented business, innovations in the industry, and new business cooperation models. Various leading operators in Indonesia such as Telkom, Telkomsel, and Tri (3) also shared the information regarding small cell technology and their cooperation with Huawei.
In the event, Huawei also launched LampSite 2.0, a small cell solution from its latest innovation. LampSite 2.0 offers strong network capacity and clear voice quality. This solution is able to significantly increase data transfer rate and boosts spectral utilization using 256QAM. LampSite 2.0 provides a higher capacity than its predecessor, supports random line up of three concurrent frequencies, and allowing one-time deployment for long-term evolution. Not only that, LampSite 2.0 also has interesting features such as support for smooth upgrade to Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) solutions enabling operators usage of non-licensed spectrum.
Muhammad Budi Setiawan, Director General of ICT Resources and Standards, Ministry of Communication and Information, Republic of Indonesia said, “The Government is concerned about the quality of services provided to the Indonesian people, and we understand that to be able to provide better services, we must work together to deploy better networks. We can achieve this through a number of ways, from high spectrum efficiency, high performance with better coverage and high capacity, to evolution for the future.”
“Better network quality is becoming an issue not only in rural areas but also in urban areas. We must strive to improve solutions on how to reduce blank spots, especially on public buildings with the most traffic load distribution, as the first priority for target deployment that will bring high impact on user experience. We realized that end users in Indonesia still experience data conjunction and bad coverage, both inside and outside of buildings, especially in high-traffic spots such as stadiums, airports, railway stations, and commercial buildings. It’s a big challenge, which also comes with big opportunities for us.”
Dr. Peter Zhou, President of the Huawei Small Cell Product Line said, “Rapid development in mobile broadband market creates both challenges and opportunities. Small cell is seeing greater market potentials and is expected to generate demand about USD 20 billion in the next five years. South Pacific Small Cell Summit is a step to discuss about small cell potential and create innovative ideas to jointly develop telecommunication industry in Indonesia.”
“Small cell is a latest technology as a solution of the needs of the smooth communication network and accommodate the Indonesian expectations towards multi-services connectivity. We hope LampSite 2.0 is able to answer the network problems that often occur, such as unclear sound while calling and the sudden disconnected internet connectivity due to the unstable signal,” added Mohammad Rosidi, General Manager Solution Consulting Huawei Indonesia.
