Huawei Releases LampSite3.0 for Indoor MBB

Thriving Indoor Digital Business

[Barcelona, Spain, February 28, 2017] At this year’s Mobile World Congress, Huawei
has released LampSite 3.0 for indoor mobile broadband (MBB) scenarios. By removing
longstanding technical bottlenecks, this futureproof solution enables full bandwidth on
multi-frequency bands and extends digital network sharing among operators to indoor
scenarios. It also supports a number of innovative technologies, including flexible
multicarrier aggregation, distributed MIMO, and 256QAM, paving the way for evolution
to 5G networks.

MBB is growing, and statistics indicate that 80% of mobile data traffic is generated
indoors. In most cases, indoor network deployment as requested by proprietors and
regulators needs to be completed with a single site visit, especially in hotspot areas.
Operators thus seek cost-effective solutions to site addition and network construction.

LampSite 3.0 supports full bandwidth and indoor network sharing to reduce costs. Once
an indoor network is built by one operator, it is available for lease by other operators for
network and TCO sharing. A network shared among four operators reduces each
operator’s TCO by as much as 70%. As well as giving operators digital dividends, indoor
network sharing attracts more investors, enterprises, proprietors, tower companies, and
other interested parties. All these contributors increase capital, policy support, and
property resources, facilitating network deployment. Operators can in turn lease their
indoor networks to recoup deployment cost and share benefits. The resultant win-win
ecosystem promotes the development of indoor MBB business. In the Netherlands, a
new cooperative model that involves investors, operators, and vendors has already
been successfully implemented.

With rapid MBB development emerges new applications. Interactive high-definition

services, artificial reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) are typical applications that require
higher network standards for the best user experience. LampSite 3.0 features flexible

multicarrier aggregation, distributed MIMO, and 256QAM. These revolutionary

technologies enable a throughput of up to 2 Gbps and an excellent experience for
mobile users. This solution also supports high bandwidth and dynamic capacity
adjustment, allowing operators to easily cope with rapid traffic growth and network
evolution simply by constructing a single network. The per-bit cost is reduced by 30% to
40% with LampSite 3.0 compared with existing indoor distributed networks.

LampSite-based indoor digitalization enables innovative applications through capability

openness. Network "pipelines" create new value and explore vertical industries and
markets. For example, location-based services add value to services for enterprise
users, a big market available for operators to tap.

Huawei is committed to advancing technology and building an ecosystem for indoor

digitalization. Years of industry practice has given the information communications
technology solutions provider the abundant experience and technical ability for close
cooperation with the world’s top operators. LampSite is yet another Huawei solution that
helps develop the indoor digital economy.

MWC 2017 runs from February 27 to March 2 in Barcelona, Spain. Huawei is

showcasing its products and solutions at booth 1J50 in Fira Gran Via Hall 1, booth 3130
in Hall 3, and the Innovation City zone in Hall 4. For more information, please visit
