KT has deployed small cells based on Broadcom’s system-on-chip (SoC) devices to enhance its high speed 4G LTE wireless broadband services.
KT completed deployment and verification of its Broadcom-enabled small cells for commercial outdoor environments this quarter and plans to expand services to indoor residential locations in the second quarter of 2015.
“With growing requirements on voice and video media services, mobile subscribers now require better coverage and higher-capacity networks,” said Mr. Sang-hoon Park, KT Corporation Vice President. “By integrating Broadcom’s high-performance small cell SoCs into our overall 4G LTE deployment strategy, we can quickly and cost effectively address increasing capacity demands while optimizing spectral efficiency.”
Broadcom’s chipset supports concurrent LTE in the Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) and Time Division Duplexing (TDD) modes as well as hosted Wi-Fi services.
