San Jose-based small cells vendor, SpiderCloud Wireless announced that Verizon will trial its LTE-U system for delivering capacity over unlicensed spectrum in high-density indoor environments. LTE-U (LTE-Unlicensed) uses the unlicensed 5GHz band to increase throughput via carrier aggregation with licensed bands.
SpiderCloud’s LTE-U Enterprise Radio Access Network (E-RAN) seamlessly delivers LTE capacity over licensed and unlicensed spectrum to thousands of subscribers in high-density venues such as multi-tenant business offices, shopping malls, hospitals, university campuses and concert halls.
Verizon will trial SpiderCloud’s LTE-U system in the third quarter of 2016.
