Cambridge Communication Systems has managed to raise an amount of 1.3 million pounds that is planned to be invested in the primary phase of deploying their small-cell microwave backhauling system to overcome the problems of overloading that the mobile phone providers are faced with.

The funding campaign was set off by the founder of Cambridge Angels, Mr. Robert Sansom, who would soon be the Chairman of the company. The campaign was also supported by David Cleevely, the Chairman of Cambridge Wireless and also by Cambridge angels, Cambridge Capital Group and Imperial Innovations.

An inexpensive, high performance solution is being created by CSS, situated at Castle Park in Cambridge to solve the issues regarding backhaul in small-cell mobile communications networks. Typically small-cell networks are considered as the only practical answer to the urgent issue of data capacity in mobile communications, however to date nothing really convincing has yet been arrived at to solve the backhaul issue. For one's information, backhaul is the transmission of information between networks and the fundamental infrastructure.

The technology from CCS is an exclusive, self-organizing, self-optimizing multipoint-to-multi-point microwave communications system that works in inexpensive and copious licensed spectrum.

The technology is simple to be carried out and to be maintained, has small physical footprint and can be scaled pretty fast.

It was Steve Greaves and John Porter who founded CCS, with both of them being skilled businessmen who were also co-founders of Adaptive Broadband and Cambridge Broadband Networks.

CCS is said to be a new and thrilling technology stated Mr. Sansom. He said that it had a firm team of founders and a many skilled investors well versed in technology.

CCS Chief Executive Steve Greaves stated that their exclusive solution to the issue of inexpensive small-cell backhaul has brought about a lot of attention and backing from significant operators from inside the mobile industry.
