PCell LTE cellular network deployed in San Francisco

PCell topology compared to conventional cellular network topology

American startup Artemis Networks intends to prove to all skeptics that the LTE technology they have developed really works and provides better quality of communication than its competitors. The company reached an agreement with Dish Network about using part of their frequency range to deploy a real pCell LTE network in San Francisco.

Dish Network shared the frequencies that it bought at auction last year. Thus, Artemis Networks can begin installing transmitters on rooftops. To do this, attract the Internet service provider Webpass , which for 10 years has been mounting transmitters on roofs. On the 600 Webpass roofs, several thousand pCell transmitters will be installed.

According to the plan, the 4G network from Artemis Networks will work this fall. The company will offer tariff plans for access to the Internet and voice-over-LTE, where voice communication will be much cheaper than in conventional cellular networks. To connect, any device is enough where the standard SIM card is inserted.

The proprietary technology pCell LTE promises to increase the efficiency of the cellular network by tens of times due to the new topology of the cellular network, in which the signals from the transmitters interfere with each other in a sly way. As a result, Artemis Networks promises that every subscriber will be able to transmit information at the highest possible speed available for his device.





Artemis Networks claims that the transmitter’s cross-interference initially caused skepticism from radio engineers. To prove the viability of its technology, a startup recently published a technical manual describing the communication protocol and experimental data. Well, the last doubts will be dispelled this fall, with the beginning of commercial operation of the network.
