ONECELL enables mobile network operators to meet the growing demand for reliable LTE and 5G services where they matter most—indoors. The innovative cloud-RAN small cell architecture creates a single intelligent “super” cell inside commercial buildings and public spaces. No individual cell borders means no handovers or interference, for high-capacity, high reliability and ultra-low latency performance. ONECELL deploys over standard Ethernet LANs. With ONECELL, wireless operators can now meet the soaring demand for mobile data—now and in the future—while offloading traffic from their macro networks.
Baseband controller
The baseband controller is responsible for performing all baseband processing and scheduling, and coordinates the transmitter and receiver functions across all Radio Points. By pooling all baseband processing and employing cell virtualization technology, it creates a single physical cell that delivers multi-sector throughput—transmit and receive—without border handovers or interference.
Radio Points
Radio points transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals over the air and perform some layer-1 baseband processing. This edge intelligence enables advanced features such as cell virtualization, joint transmit/receive and user location awareness for emergency services. Operators can choose from two radio point solutions, both are available in indoor and rugged-form factors.
RP2000 Series is a highly compact, single-carrier, single-frequency solution. The frequency is software-selectable, enabling the operator to change frequency bands without touching the hardware.
RP5000 Series is a multi-carrier, multi-channel solution that supports up to four frequency bands simultaneously. It incorporates programmable logic, allowing operators to convert existing LTE bands to 5G NR. RP5000 models will also support 28 GHz and 39 GHz mmWave bands, CBRS and C-band in the US, and 3.5 GHz 5G bands in Europe and the rest of the world.
Ethernet cabling and switches
ONECELL operates on standard Gigabit Ethernet links and off-the-shelf Ethernet switches. As a turnkey partner, CommScope can provide all the cabling and switching needed. This enables operators to streamline ordering, deployment and project management, saving time and money.
Device Management System (DMS)
The DMS enables automated provisioning and on-going support for the ONECELL solution. The DMS features an its easy-to-use dashboard and can automatically configure over 100 key network and RF parameters. Its scalable architecture is capable of supporting thousands of devices.
Open interfaces and virtualized network functions for 5G
For 5G, ONECELL leverages open RAN and management frameworks as defined by the O-RAN Alliance and ONAP:
