Amdocs, ip.access Team for Indoor Small Cells
Amdocs and ip.access are joining forces to help bolster their status in enterprise small cells.
The companies announced a global collaboration on Monday to combine ip.access Ltd. ‘s indoor small cells and performance optimization tools with Amdocs Ltd. (NYSE: DOX)’s radio access network (RAN), backhaul and Network Rollout Solution. Together, they are promising to cut the cost and time of network deployments by up to 25%.
ip.access will market the joint platform to its customers looking to ramp up the volume of their small cell deployments, while Amdocs will sell to its customers, positioning itself as the overall systems integrator. Amdocs is making a bigger push into small cells after its acquisition of mobile network optimization vendor Actix and self-organizing network (SON) specialist Celcite in 2013.
