Celling 5G, innovadora empresa española especializada en celdas pequeñas, se convierte en el nuevo colaborador de 5TONIC

Instalará y probará una solución pionera para el despliegue de celdas pequeñas 5G en un laboratorio de Madrid

An innovative new Spanish technology start-up company, Celling 5G, has become the latest collaborator to join the 5TONIC co-creation laboratory in Madrid. The company will immediately begin a new research project to test their break-thru solution for small cell deployment in cooperation with several other 5TONIC members.

Celling 5G’s solution is designed to overcome some of the problems that have so far held back the widespread deployment of outdoor small cells. Outdoor small cells are generally targeted for deployment in urban locations using existing street furniture – such as lampposts and or bus stop canopies – but the take up has been slow and proven to be logistically difficult. Celling 5G aims to overcome these difficulties by smoothing the access to power and data connectivity for its small cell deployments.

5TONIC members Telefónica, Ericsson, CommScope, IMDEA Networks, and UC3M will all collaborate in a joint proof of concept project with Celling 5G, in order to test the solution proposed and help further in the development of any equipment required to support the initiative.

The project will see the deployment of a small cell within the 5TONIC lab that will be supported by Celling 5G’s technology in order to carry out feasibility testing and a performance assessment of the solution, prior to any submission to a 5G standards testing authority.

Small cells are expected to play a very significant role within 5G deployments, because of the lower propagation characteristics of high frequency bands specific of 5G radio, the demands for increased capacity, and the need to support higher bit rates for the users that can only realistically be achieved when they are closer to the radio antennas.

5G technology has been designed to support ultra-dense network (UDN) deployments and to minimize the possible interference that can be suffered – particularly in Wi-Fi deployments – from a tight network of base stations. This feature of the technology further encourages the use of small cells.

“We are very happy to collaborate with a new and young company like Celling 5G in order to help in the creation of an efficient, high-capacity, high performance 5G ecosystem”, said Arturo Azcorra, 5TONIC vice-chairman. “We believe their solution can help to speed the deployment of 4G and 5G small cell networks in dense urban areas.”
