Qualcomm Technologies' UltraSON solution is highlighted as a key enabler for 1000x hyper-dense small cell deployments. The world's densest small cell deployment at a NASCAR venue demonstrated 1000 small cells per square kilometer and brought 1000x capacity closer to reality. UltraSON solves challenges of unplanned deployments, robust mobility, and reliable user experience across all small cell scenarios including residential, enterprise, and metro/pico cells.
