Presentation on Ubiquisys-Intel Smart Cells from CTIA Wireless 2012.
Smart cells are a new category of hybrid device developed through a strategic collaboration between Intel Corporation and Ubiquisys. They combine a cellular/WiFi small cell with an integrated, comms-tuned computing platform with local storage. In a fast-track development programme, the companies have already met a number of key milestones, including prototype demonstrations with live applications from third party developers.

Introduction to public access small cell hotspots
Backhaul is the limiting factor
Limited capacity, heavily loaded with 3G/4G/WiFi traffic,
highly variable performance
High quality mobile signal
Small cells provide high-speed,
short-range signal with low
contention
• Installed in public places: cafes, malls, stores, rail stations, venues etc
• Multi-technology: 3G, WiFi and LTE in one box
• Key characteristics:
Now add a computing platform
• Strategic collaboration between Ubiquisys and Intel
• Compact, comms-tuned compute platform
• Core® and Atom® variants available, with hardware accelerators
• 40GB+ SSD and 4GB+ RAM
