For the first time, according to the company, operators will be able to deploy and manage customized 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi networks on one wireless platform. The system, known as an Enterprise Radio Access Network (E-RAN), will provide performance and cost reductions as compared to existing wireless solutions, SpiderCloud Wireless said.
"We are extremely excited by the E-RAN technology that SpiderCloud has developed to help reduce operators' Capex and Opex," said Carl Showalter, general partner at Opus Capital. "By deploying the network directly within the enterprise, operators benefit from increased capacity while dramatically improving the subscriber experience."
The E-RAN platform is a scalable system comprised of a SmartCloud Services Node (SCSN) and Radio Nodes (SCRN). Advanced features bring "zero touch" installation and low-cost routing options for voice and data to the world of mobile radio access networks. The result is a purpose-built and self-organizing wireless network capable of extending the enterprise's full suite of voice and data applications and services to any standard handset or computing device. E-RAN brings together the functionality and security of cellular networks with the utility and economics of enterprise data networks.
"SpiderCloud's approach creates a new tool for the mobile network operator to profitably deploy capacity exactly where it's required," said Shirish Sathaye, general partner at Matrix Partners. "This represents a new phase in the way mobile networks will be built going forward."
The company said that it has raised in excess of $35 million to commercialize its E-RAN system for mobile operators. System testing is commencing with European mobile network operators this month with general availability of the technology platform scheduled for 2010.
