Virgin Media Running LTE Trials in London
Published on:
Virgin Media has started UK trials of LTE picocells supplied by Airspan Networks for major metropolitan areas. Virgin Media carried out an initial trial in London in December 2011 and hopes to expand the trials over the coming months.
Virgin Media is using Airspan's AirSynergy pico eNodeB (LTE Base Station).
Kevin Baughan, Director of Wireless, Virgin Media, said, "We want to put the power of our fibre optic network wherever people need it most, both inside and outside the home. Our technology trial in Oxford Street, one of London's busiest streets, proved the potential benefits of a small-cell solution and plugging into our network could help offer unrivalled capacity for mobile data services."
The London trial operated on a test license granted by the regulator Ofcom to allow Virgin Media and Airspan to conduct the trial and prove the potential benefits of the network.
