CCS’ pioneering self-organising small cell backhaul system is garnering significant industry recognition as the first backhaul solution that makes outdoor small cells truly viable. The small outdoor devices provide a resilient network of high capacity and low latency, as well as being easily installed in less than fifteen minutes. CCS’ first commercial deployment with China Mobile – the world’s largest mobile operator – has recently been expanded with a new installation in its Fujian Mobile branch, announced earlier this month.

Commenting on CCS’ Fierce Innovation awards shortlisting, CEO and Co-Founder Steve Greaves said: “This is undoubtedly a landmark year for CCS, and that is being reflected by the considerable number of industry accolades our solution has achieved over the past twelve months. For this latest award honour, we are particularly pleased that the stand-out innovation and market impact of our solution has been recognised by such an impressive panel of major global operators.”
