PETERBOROUGH, ON – Lindsay Broadband has confirmed that an unnamed major MSO has begun a large scale deployment of its HFC LTE small cell gateway solution.
Developed by Lindsay over the last three years, the solution offers various mounting options (strand, vault, pedestal and wall) and delivers up to 400 Watts of power to any manufacturer’s small cell, allowing the MSO to easily accommodate a Mobile Network Operator’s (MNO) approved equipment, reads the news release. By utilizing the HFC architecture, the MSO is able to offer a significant cost advantage over commercial powering schemes, while also providing a stable AC or DC power source with the eight hours of protection typically built into the HFC plant.
Lindsay said that it has worked with various MSOs to utilize the existing infrastructure to provide both AC and DC power as well as backhaul (DOCSIS and Optical) for small cell and other current and future technologies.
“This is the first of several MSOs in which Lindsay Broadband has been partnering for trials and now deployment”, said president David Atman, in the release. “We look forward to the continued success of this Operator and the others soon to follow.”
