AirHop Communications

AirHop is a leader in Self Organizing Network (SON) solutions for dynamic resource optimization and QoS/QoE management of heterogeneous wireless networks. AirHop is the first company to combine real-time SON features with traditional SON functionality featuring coordination of time and frequency resources, providing dynamic interference management. AirHop’s eSON™ technology offers a complete SON solution with a flexible deployment architecture, scalable software platform and algorithms, comprehensive APIs for multi-vendor support, and readiness to extend support into new technologies such as Cloud-RAN and NFV.

eSON is designed to provide wireless operators CAPEX, IMPEX and OPEX savings through automated real time network management. eSON provides coordinated optimization across small cell layers and between small cells and macro-cells featuring automated network deployment, automated configuration and management in addition to optimization of the network resources. Operators are able to significantly improve the user experience on their network with 40% faster data and mobile robustness optimization. eSON also delivers cost efficiency in network management including improved capacity of 45% over existing RAN assets.

eSON’s established multi-vendor ecosystem allows operators to quickly deploy interference management and capacity optimization across their HetNet. AirHop leverages eSON’s flexible architecture and cloud capabilities to partner with HetNet suppliers of small cells, pico cell and macro cells to quickly deploy advanced SON features.

eSON is revolutionary because it solves the RAN gap problem by enabling the deployment of unplanned small cells with not only automated configuration and maintenance, but also dynamic run-time optimization.

AirHop envisions the application of eSON for both today’s HetNet environment and in future wireless networks supporting Iot, 5G, DoD, Public Safety application.
