Dali Wireless® Reveals Matrix At MWC 2015

Dali Wireless, Inc., which is the global provider of the state of the art all digital RF Router® which surpasses DAS – Distributed Antenna Systems, at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, reveals Matrix, the modular platform that allows the mobile operators together with the system integrators to conveniently upgrade, update and enlarge their networks in an approach of plug and play as the frequency bands plus the technologies evolve and become available. The basic flexibility and the scalability of Matrix hinders the need for the operators to reconstruct their existing networks to regulate with present and future network technology trends. This causes Matrix to be suitable for various environments which demand virtualization of the RAN (Radio Access Network) and dynamic capacity allocation.

Dali Matrix™ is based on Dali’s patented platform, the award winning RF Router, that enables wireless coverage and capacity to be routed elastically to where network resources are required, when it is needed. The plug and play capacities of Matrix allows for streamlined and simple mix and match support for global frequency bands, technologies together with base station vendors, to empower then with a virtualized RAN.

The Research Director at ABI Research, Nick Marshall, notes that the virtualization of RAN is one of the top five technology disruptors. Dissimilar to C-RAN i.e. Cloud RAN that virtualizes only the baseband processing resources, the RAN virtualization capabilities of Matrix exceed C-RAN by also virtualizing the spectrum – an operator’s most valuable and finite asset. This enables the common pool of resources to be managed and shared within the baseband plus radio resources for atruly virtualized Radio Access Network. Operators will be able, with Matrix, to dynamically manage and identify data packets among 2G, 3G, 4G and even 5G base stations transported, in single or multi operator network environments, among any antenna points. Radio resources are utilized only when they are required in order to maximize all available resources on the network, and also to ensure that none is wasted.

Marshall said that Dali is a leading vendor and early innovator of digital RF, virtualized routing plus distribution solutions for in building wireless systems. He also added that the hallmark of virtual RAN by Dali is the many to many relationship among, radio, baseband and antenna. He then concludes that the RF Router of Dali provides an economical alternative which transcends conventional DAS in performance, power, functionality and total ownership cost.

Matrix offers maximum design flexibility for the operators by granting them to conveniently scale without substantial overhaul or more investment to their prevailing networks. Matrix operates with existing distributed and centralized bas station architectures and perform as complementary solution to C-RAN. Matrix supports any RF combination plus digital baseband inputs. Its baseband interface module has the open API which enables simplified radio components association among various base station vendors.

Anyhow, a detailed demonstration on the specified solution by the concerned representatives will be given at Hall 6, Booth 6J60 during the Mobile World Congress 2015.
