Two Revolutionary concepts brought together in designing the ITIC CDMA Network
Mobile Integrated IP Network System (MINS)
First – Building the entire CDMA System in a box by cutting the ‘Capacity x Functionality’ cake horizontally
Second – Building a soft base station that is software up-gradable across a range of current and future technologies : CDMA 2000 1x, EvDO Rev. A, W-CDMA and Wi-Max

Second – Building a soft base station that is software up-gradable across a range of current and future technologies : CDMA 2000 1x, EvDO Rev. A, W-CDMA and Wi-Max
•
Existing CDMA Base Station vendors employ Qualcomm base band chips for the RF (physical layer)
•
For each new RF technology they need a separate design for the base station and different hardware.
•
ITIC software radio is a generic base station that does not need a new base band design for each technology. Thus the CDMA 2000 base station can be software upgraded to EvDO, W-CDMA or Wi-Max.
•
ITIC BTS is all IP, unlike legacy systems that employ E1 / T1 boards
•
A compact system that can be carried in a small suitcase and can be even integrated within a Personal Computer.
•
Major savings on CAPEX - Around 1/3rd of any other solution.
