LWA was standardized by 3GPP as part of Release 13 in 2016. Sercomm's LWA Small Cell solution enables the efficient creation of integrated LTE and Wi-Fi Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets), allowing telecom operators to support data transmission for up to 32 users simultaneously with download speeds of up to 400 Mbps. Furthermore, LWA Small Cell helps reduce internet traffic congestion by offloading cellular data traffic more effectively, providing seamless user experiences.
In response to the rapid development of pre-5G next-generation networks, high-bandwidth, high-demand applications such as 4K HD video and virtual reality (VR) gaming have become more diverse and popular. To maximize the use of limited spectrum resources and address the trend toward heterogeneous network (HetNet) convergence, LWA has emerged as an alternative solution for aggregating both tied-license and unlicensed branded vendors.
