F-Cell re-imagines architecture to
support truly “wireless wireless”
networking, removing the power
and backhaul wires required by
current small cell deployments
Massive capacity is deployed on
demand with no pre-planning
or civil works required, allowing
for drone-based delivery of self-
building wireless networks
Technology breakthrough wins

Murray Hill, NJ – Nokia Bell Labs announces a breakthrough
in small cell technology that offers greater flexibility,
efficiency and optimized deployment economics to expedite
F-Cell technology from Nokia Bell Labs revolutionizes small cell
deployment by cutting wires, costs and time
performance of large-scale data systems. Stratix 10
FPGAs provide the optimal flexibility and performance-
per-watt acceleration to address the data center needs of the
future.
When used as a high-performance, multifunction accelerator
in the data center, Stratix 10 FPGAs are capable of performing
both the acceleration and high-performance networking
capabilities.
And as a user’s system demands or hardware requirements
change, the FPGA can be reconfigured in milliseconds to
accelerate individual tasks, which translates into significant
improvements in system-level performance and power
efficiency.
The need for more bandwidth and lower latency in our
networks, the need for flexibility of our data centers to react
to new and changing workloads, and the need to manage
performance per watt are all key value drivers for the Stratix
10 FPGA.
The Explosive Need for Faster, Higher Bandwidth Networks
The growing number of bandwidth-intensive applications is
creating a massive increase in customer demand and straining
current network infrastructure.
Cisco* forecasts that by 2020, nearly a million minutes of
video content will cross the network each second2, and that
the creation of the high capacity
and low latency network that
will form the digital fabric of the
future for humans and machines.
“F-Cell” technology eliminates
the costly power and backhaul
wires and fibers currently
required for small cell installation
to enable “drop and forget” small
cell deployments anywhere.
Bell Labs recently demonstrated
the world’s first drone-based
delivery of an F-Cell to a Nokia
office rooftop in Sunnyvale, CA. (captured in photo). The
F-Cell wirelessly self-powered, self-configured and auto-
connected to the network and instantly began to stream
high-definition video.
by 2020, the number of devices connected to IP networks will
be three times the global population2.
A smart and connected world requires a highly connected,
flexible, efficient, bandwidth-rich infrastructure that enables a
seamless connection from the data center to the edge.
Stratix 10 FPGAs enable network innovations across the
access, transmission and networking equipment arenas to
aggregate, transport and deliver the triple-play traffic over
converged multiservice networks.
Intel FPGA Innovation at its Finest
The Stratix 10 is an excellent example of the FPGA innovation
that Intel is delivering to customers. We are delivering samples
of the Stratix 10 FPGAs to customers today, and I personally
look forward to seeing the innovations our customers will be
able to deliver to market with this game-changing technology.
