NEC access point (radio node) deployed at DOCOMO PACIFIC store
Beginning in September 2016, NEC introduced their Enterprise-Radio
Access Network (E-RAN) solution to DOCOMO PACIFIC retail stores on
a trial basis. During the trials, both companies quickly succeeded
in delivering an indoor signal quality up to 3 times better than
before the introduction of the E-RAN solution.
NEC's E-RAN technology enables simultaneous LTE communications for
up to 64 smartphones, tablets and other devices per access point.
The solution can be deployed quickly using IT infrastructure, which
enables smooth installation and contributes to an improved customer
experience.
DOCOMO PACIFIC's partnership with NEC provides an innovative
solution to an increasingly important component of consumer mobile
needs. By deploying the E-RAN solution, today's "always on"
subscriber will continue to have access to a robust and reliable
connection, even while indoors.
"Many of our buildings in Guam are made to withstand typhoons and
earthquakes using material like stone, concrete, steel and tinted
glass, that contain signal blocking properties. By using NEC's
E-RAN solution, we are able to deliver an improved LTE signal to
our customers that are indoors," said Jonathan Kriegel, President
and Chief Executive Officer, DOCOMO PACIFIC.
"We are very pleased with the success of these trials conducted in
cooperation with DOCOMO PACIFIC and will continue contributing to
the market leading telecommunications connectivity offered by
DOCOMO PACIFIC, both in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands,"
said Nozomu Watanabe, General Manager, Mobile Radio Access Network
Division, NEC Corporation.
