Companies bring together multi-generation expertise to deliver flexible, rapidly deployable and low-power small cells for indoor and outdoor environments

RICHARDSON, Texas, Feb. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mavenir, the cloud-native network infrastructure provider building the future of networks, and EdgeQ, a leader in 5G wireless infrastructure, unveil the next generation of indoor and outdoor small cells at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2025. The cloud-native, software programmable small cells deliver both 4G and 5G on a single chip, allowing customers to dynamically reconfigure and elastically scale from 4G to 5G without any hardware change, redesign, or reinstallation.

The collaboration introduces new capabilities aimed at enterprise and neutral host providers for indoor environments and meet the demands of communication service providers (CSPs) needing cutting-edge outdoor equipment to support urban densification.

The next generation small cell offering will focus on enabling flexibility, low power consumption, and ease of deployment. The solution empowers CSPs to address rapidly increasing data traffic demands while ensuring a long-term return on investment. The small cell solution, set for general availability in 2Q 2025, will support a range of 4G and 5G spectrum bands, and flexible configurations from single-band 4G or 5G setups to complex multi-band combinations, on a single board. Additionally, the solution offers a future-proof approach with remote software upgrades, allowing CSPs to migrate smoothly from 4G to 5G without hardware changes and maximizing their investments.

Sachin Karkala, SVP & GM RAN at Mavenir, said: “This strategic relationship will be disruptive for the small cell market, introducing new capabilities that meet a wide range of needs. EdgeQ is a partner that’s working at the cutting edge of silicon technology, and this partnership enables increased levels of flexibility for CSPs, enterprises and neutral host providers. We’re changing the economics of 5G deployments with small cells by reducing energy consumption, simplifying deployment and ensuring long-term ROI.”

Mavenir’s indoor small cell solution leverages EdgeQ’s highly programmable “Base station-on-a-chip” to deliver a singular solution that is dynamically configurable to help service providers navigate 4G to 5G migration, NSA to SA migration, TDD and FDD migration, and multi-carrier support. The lean design is ideal for both indoor and outdoor deployments where ubiquity of coverage at low TCO is expected by operators.

Vinay Ravuri, Founder and CEO of EdgeQ, said: “We are delighted to partner with Mavenir to enable a new category of small cells that converges multiple radios, bands, and carriers at new unit economics long sought after by service providers. The flexibility that we are enabling with Mavenir will drive frictionless small cell deployments by meeting the short and long-term needs of all connectivity providers. Our state-of-the-art 4G and 5G platform makes the widest range of spectrum configurations possible and ensures a clear upgrade path as traffic grows.”

Mavenir’s small cell solutions enable enhanced network capacity and coverage in indoor and outdoor environments meeting the full range of public and private network use cases.

SHENZHEN, Feb. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Recently, BYD Energy Storage and Saudi Electricity Company successfully signed the world’s largest grid-scale energy storage projects contracts with a capacity of 12.5GWh at the time. Combined with the previously delivered 2.6GWh project, the total cooperation now has amounted to a massive 15.1GWh of projects.

This cooperation is a pivotal stride towards advancing Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy industry and aligning with the ambitious goals set forth in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative. In response to the pressing global climate challenges, SEC has been steadfast in its commitment to reshaping Saudi Arabia’s energy landscape and spearheading exploration in renewable energy, driven by the Kingdom’s ambition to achieve its optimal energy mix of 50% of renewables by 2030.

The BESS equipment in the projects will be installed at five sites in the country. BYD Energy Storage will supply new-generation MC Cube-T ESS that adopt its globally pioneering CTS (Cell-to-System) super-integrated technology, with a Vcts (proportion of cell volume to system volume) index exceeding 33%. These installations will integrate into Saudi Arabia’s power transmission network, playing a pivotal role in addressing challenges posed by the rising number of renewable energy generation systems, ensuring stable power supply, and meeting peak energy demands.

17 years ago, the first pilot BESS system was delivered from BYD to the market to seek for the potential value of LFP-based battery storage system to be coupled in electricity network system. To date, BYD Energy Storage has delivered over 75GWh of BESS equipment to 350 projects spanning more than 110 countries and regions worldwide. Its diverse product portfolio caters to various application scenarios across generation side, utility side and consumption side, forming a complete industrial chain encompassing research, development, manufacturing, sales, and service. BYD Energy Storage proved itself to be well-equipped to supply an ultra-large-scale project exceeding 15.1GWh.

This landmark project will redefine the value and status of electrochemical energy storage solutions in the global energy landscape. Taking this cooperation as a new starting point, BYD Energy Storage will continue to increase investment in technology research and development and join hands with global partners to usher in a new era of energy transition, leading the energy storage industry towards a clean and sustainable future.
