Ericsson announces new in-door cellular radio system
Ericsson has announced a new cellular radio that is small enough to fit a person's hand, but provides enough indoor network coverage for a crowd. The disk-shaped Ericsson Radio Dot System is designed to provide high-quality access to mobile broadband and voice services indoors. The device is the result of two years of R&D and incorporates 14 patents. It weighs 300 grams and uses a 'dot' antenna element to deliver mobile broadband access to users. Dots are connected and powered via standard internet LAN cables to indoor radio units that link to a base station. Ericsson Radio Dot System supports integration with Ericsson's carrier Wi-Fi products. Ericsson has already seen interest in the product from mobile operators in the US, including AT&T. The product is expected to be commercially available in late 2014.
