Wireless operators are facing exponential growth in adoption rates, as well as device capabilities. As this trend continues, existing networks and architectures will not be able to deliver the required performance — or maintain costs at an economically sustainable level. To address these challenges, lightRadio offers a new wireless networking paradigm, which can add sufficient capacity, in the right location, with the right technology, to optimize the end-user experience along with operator economics.
This paper provides an overview of the lightRadio paradigm developed by Alcatel-Lucent and Bells Labs, including technology components, transport options — and the total cost of ownership savings that can be realized.
