Patent number: 9144111Abstract: A basestation for a cellular wireless communications network is able to configure itself for operation in the network, by selecting appropriate operating frequencies (in the case of GSM network) or scrambling codes (in the case of a UMTS network), and appropriate transmit powers. This makes it practical for a large number of such basestations to be deployed in a network, within customers' premises, without requiring network intervention in each case.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2012Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Ubiquisys LimitedInventors: Peter Keevill, William Franks, Richard Byrne

Patent number: 8660610Abstract: A basestation 110 provides coverage for voice and data services within a building using GSM/GPRS and UMTS interfaces within existing networks, allowing use of existing mobile phones. The basestation also provides flexible interfacing to the network operator's core network 130 via the Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) standards as opposed to the usual Iub (UMTS) or Abis (GSM) interfaces used by conventional cellular basestations. Backhaul from the basestation units is achieved through the use of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections over fixed telephone lines. This approach enables low-cost transport of data and voice using VoIP.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Ubiquisys LimitedInventors: Peter Keevill, William Franks, Richard Byrne

Patent number: 8204543Abstract: A base station for a cellular wireless communications network has a first interface, enabling connection with a remote communications device using a cellular wireless communications protocol in the cellular wireless communications network. The base station also has a second interface, enabling connection over a wide area network, and a third interface, enabling connection over a local area network. Software enables communication over the wide area network between a remote communications device, connected to the first interface, and a core network of the cellular wireless communications network. Software can also enable the remote communications device to communicate with a device in the local area network, or with a server in the wide area network, without using the core network of the cellular wireless communications network.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2006Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Ubiquisys LimitedInventors: Peter Keevill, William Franks, Richard Byrne, Andrea Giustina

Publication number: 20100227645Abstract: A basestation in a cellular communications network is configured such that it has a different Location Area Identification from other local basestations in the cellular network. This has the effect that a Location Area Update procedure is performed when a mobile device wishes to camp onto that basestation. The basestation is able to configure itself automatically, to ensure that its Location Area Identification differs from other local basestations.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2010Publication date: September 9, 2010Applicant: UBIQUISYS LIMITEDInventors: Peter Keevill, William Franks, Richard Byrne
