Democratising Wireless Innovation
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Background

CrowdCell is a 4G relay concept, whereby an intermediate “Crowd” enabled device relays traffic between a customer UE and the macro cellular network. Its main benefit is to be a rapid and low cost small cell solution, thanks to its Plug-and-Play (P&P) concept by means of using the available 4G coverage.

The CrowdCell Project Group operates under the auspices of the Telecom Infra Project (TIP). The initiative was founded and is being lead by Vodafone and Lime Microsystems, but participation is open to all and there is a low barrier to entry, thanks to use of commodity hardware and open source technology.
