“The Ericsson Radio Dot System provides compelling benefits to both consumers and enterprise customers, so we are excited to go live with the Dot at MWC 2015,” said Enrique Blanco, Global CTO, Telefonica.

In Barcelona, the Ericsson Radio Dot System uses the 1800 MHz spectrum band, supporting LTE-A Carrier Aggregation in coordination with Telefónica’s 2600 MHz LTE commercial network. Combined Cell, a feature expanded in Networks Software 15A to improve downlink performance in a broader range of operator environments, is also supported on the Dot.

At MWC 2015, Ericsson will feature the RBS 6402 Indoor Picocell, Ericsson Small Cell solutions for both indoor and outdoor deployment, targeted at smaller buildings and venues, and License Assisted Access (LAA), which extends the benefits of LTE to unlicensed spectrum.

Ericsson earlier said it will demonstrate the capabilities of Red Dot with China Mobile.

Meanwhile, Ericsson has joined hands with Facebook, GSA, GSMA, INDYCAR, Intel, KPN, Qualcomm Technologies, Telstra and Verizon, to convene LTE Broadcast User Group at Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona.
