FirstNews Briefs: Ericsson, T-Mobile, SOLiD, Resonant, Sierra Wireless

By Diana Goovaerts | May 17, 2016

Ericsson rolled out its first Wi-Fi on Wheels van at INTX 2016 this week. The solution – housed in a customized Ford Transit 350 cargo can – is outfitted with six Wi-Fi access points, multiple network access connections, non-line-of-sight (NLOS) microwave backhaul, onboard backup power and modular deployment elements that allow for a launch within minutes. Ericsson said each Wi-Fi on Wheels vehicle can serve an estimated 2,500 people. The company said the solution is suited for use cases including disaster recovery efforts, concerts and community events.

T-Mobile will launch the HTC 10 smartphone tomorrow, May 18. The carrier is offering the device for $0 down and $28.34 per month for 24 months. Customers who purchase the device between May 18 and May 24 will be eligible to receive a free HTC Rapid Charger and HTC Ice View case while supplies last.

SOLiD, a wireless infrastructure company, has introduced the ALLIANCE 2W LROU, a two-watt DAS amplifier with a new, compact, energy efficient design. With this addition, the SOLiD product line offers 1-watt, 2-watt, 5-watt and 20-watt remote optical units (ROUs).

Resonant Inc., a designer of filters for radio frequency (RF) front-ends, has signed another licensing agreement with an existing customer. The license agreement encompasses three Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) duplexer designs for high volume Bands.

Sierra Wireless announced availability of the AirLink MP70, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) vehicle router for mission critical applications in public safety, transit and field services.

For example, a typical law enforcement vehicle hosts a laptop for dispatch and records management, an electronic citation system, live digital video surveillance, body-worn cameras and automated license plate recognition (ALPR) systems. With the MP70, all of these systems can connect to a high-speed vehicle area network, with both gigabit Ethernet and 802.11ac Wi-Fi supported, and share a secure LTE-A cellular connection that enables the dispatcher to access all of the systems in real time.

The MP70 also provides IT departments with the flexibility to manage fleet and mobile assets in the cloud or in the enterprise data center using Sierra Wireless AirLink Network Management solutions.
