!   To provide a world-‐class 4G/LTE service for TalkTalk customers, residenEal and business:

›  uElising LTE small cell technology !   To carry voice and data traffic on the

TalkTalk network: ›  by building an ‘inside-‐out’ LTE network

!   AucEoned by Ofcom in 2006 for “low power use” (picocells and femtocells) !   Comprises 3.3MHz of spectrum in the valuable E-‐UTRA Band 3, otherwise

known as GSM1800 !   Suitable for the deployment of LTE 3MHz FDD small cells !   Tested with 4G handsets from all leading manufacturers !   Single-‐user throughput over 16Mbit/s

!   Good street-‐level coverage from a random distribuEon of 20 homes with femtocells out of 320 houses [~7% penetraEon]

!   Example below uses low power (10dBm) commercial femtocells

!   All-‐in-‐one next generaEon TalkTalk ‘Super Router’ combines VDSL/ADSL modem, 802.11ac Wi-‐Fi and LTE femtocell

!   We are developing prototype standalone femtocell and all-‐in-‐one !   ImplemenEng hybrid access with upstream and downstream QoS

management, SON, TR69 remote management !   SupporEng X2 handover between femtocells !   Working with Broadcom and other technology vendors !   Supported by new EPS core and support systems and processes
