The S8/S16 Access Points

Viper virtualised enterprise RAN platform

The S8 and S16 APs are cost-optimised indoor 3G small cells,

targeted at enterprise environments such as small offices, home
offices, retailers and public spaces.

The S8 and S16 are part of ip.access Viper end-to-end small

cell platform for enterprise RAN, which integrates the following
components:

The small, free standing form factor and low power consumption
make it easy for the end customer to install for themselves,
requiring just an ethernet cable and power. But unlike Wi-Fi or
consumer femtocells, nano3G Access Points support bidirectional
handover with the macro network and operate in open access
mode, so all customers in the office or shop can get the benefit
of improved coverage and fast data speeds.

A
 range of plug-and-play 3G and 4G small cell Access Points for
small, medium and large enterprise deployments

The S8 and S16 models support up to 8 and 16 simultaneous

active users respectively (each with concurrent voice and highspeed data sessions) and are available for Bands 1, 2/5 or 4.
Plug-and-play

Standard DC power supply easy for customers to connect

Easy deployment
nano3G access points are fully plug-and-play, allowing them to
be simply mailed out to end-users for unmanaged deployments,
or installed and commissioned as part of a managed roll-out.

integration, AP deployment, and network operation.

S-class SoHo access points can be deployed by

end-users as easily as a Wi-Fi router, cutting costs
and simplifying the small cell rollout process.
