Features & Benefits
First mobile call being made by village chief in long Long Jekitan village, Borneo
- 4kbps bandwidth per active call
- Zero bandwidth required when altoPod™ is in idle mode during off peak traffic periods
- Local Connectivity™ switches local calls at the altoPod™ or within the cluster; thereby removing backhaul requirement for all local calls (also meets ETSI Lawful Intercept requirements). Intra-Cluster Local switching switches calls between sites in a cluster locally, further reducing backhaul requirement
- Channel Quenching / Ringtone Suppression reduces satellite backhaul requirements by allocating the calling party’s audio path, only when the called party answers
- Configurable AMR codecs on the backhaul minimise bandwidth requirement and configurable AMR codecs on the air interface maximise quality and capacity
- altoPod™ remote Radio Resource Management eliminates latency, significantly improves call set-up success rates and increases mean holding times
- 90 Watt average power consumption and intelligent shut down of non-traffic carrying TRX during off-peak periods makes the altoPod™ the most efficient, solar powered solution of its kind for remote communities
- The all-IP outdoor altoPod™ is a 2TRX passively cooled BTS with built-in 10 Watt carriers, providing up to 10km coverage radius
- Altobridge lite-site™ architecture is transparent to the core network. Billing, rating and subscriber management are controlled by the operator’s existing core network at all times
- The network management feature, altoManager™, provides bandwidth and network-wide monitoring capability plus BSS performance indicator statistics through a single user interface
altoPod™ Traffic Management Features include:
- 2G/3G cell reselection management
- Prioritisation of 3G for data traffic
- Handover of voice calls from 3G to 2G
