Radisys introduces LTE small cell software service

Embedded systems developer Radisys has introduced Trillium TotaleNodeB, a software service that enhances the development and integration of LTE small cells. TotaleNodeB builds upon the Trillium LTE protocol stacks, using Radisys' expertise in LTE technology services. Radisys' Trillium TotaleNodeB provides TEMs with an integrated LTE eNodeB that is verified across small cell SoC platforms from Radisys' silicon partners. The software can be used with any OS on any chipset, enabling TEMs to select from a variety of SoCs and transfer to a silicon platform. TotaleNodeB enables TEMs to comply with operators' specific requirements. TotaleNodeB is provided as source code so TEMs can customise and enhance the product to meet specific operator requirements or use Radisys professional services to customise it to the required specifications. Radisys provides interoperability testing, technical support during the roll-out and ongoing maintenance to check the integrated service works with the operator's network properly. TotaleNodeB includes the Trillium LTE eNodeB application, radio resource management (RRM), radio environment monitoring (REM), SON, schedulers and all of the Trillium protocol layers. Its modular design provides TEMs to select to use Radisys' off-the-shelf RRM, SON and scheduling algorithms or to implement custom algorithms. TEMs can combine TotaleNodeB with Radisys' Femtotality 3G WCDMA small cell service to create a dual-mode small cell deployment of both technologies. Dual mode small cells enable the operator to serve their mixed 3G and LTE customer base. Radisys' mobileRAN and small cell experts will be onsite at Mobile World Congress.
