Nokia Networks, a Finnish based company that is responsible for helping to build cellular networks for wireless carriers around the world, and Artemis Research have signed a “memorandum of understanding” that will have Nokia test pCell technology in large indoor stadiums and other areas where large amounts of bandwidth are needed.
Steve Perlman, the founder of Artemis Research, commented on how the deal brings them ever closer to implementing the technology in tier-one wireless carriers. Perlman made mention of there being a carrier that fit said description, but declined when asked for more detail.
pCell stands for personal cell, which is the main idea behind the technology. The way current networks work is that it has a giant “cell” that is split between everyone in said cell. The way pCell works is that it gives every individual device its own personal cell. Although the technology would provide as much bandwidth as current wireless networks do, the bandwidth wouldn’t be shared between everyone in the cell, allowing for faster speeds. Pearlman claims that the signal will be 1,000 times faster than current signals.
As the world has become more focused on our phones, mobile carriers have been continuously searching for better ways to provide data coverage for their customers. From 1G, 2G, 3G and now 4G and LTE, pCell may be the next data plan offered by mobile carriers around the world.
