Smart City CoverageDelivering maximum coverage and capacity

to multiple sites across a city

You’re an operator and you

need to provide a coverage

solution to multiple sites across

a city within a budget.

You’re a venue owner and you’re

losing out on revenue from your

customers due to poor mobile

connection in your facility.

So what’s the solution?

“Over 80% of mobile phone usage occurs indoors”

“Over 50 billion connected things by 2020”

The success of smart cities will be dependent on efficient, reliableconnectivity

All major cities are making steps towards becoming truly connected to gain the status of ‘smart city’ but they face challenges.

It’s reported that 80% of mobile phone usage occurs indoors.

By 2020, industry analysts predict there will be over 50 billion connected wireless things – more than 6 times the population of the planet!

City environments are densely populated with buildings and structures that are built with materials that present a range of issues when it comes to coverage - from RF-blocking stone and marble to modern reflective materials. The success of smart cities will be dependent on efficient, reliable connectivity, with enough capacity provision to support a huge range of IoT applications – as well as ensuring people can still make phone calls, stream videos and update their social media channels wherever and whenever.

Delivering complete connectivity across a city is not only challenging, but can also be very costly. The technology, deployment and provision of high quality, on-demand coverage must be affordable for all parties involved.

Introducing idDAS…idDAS is a robust in-building and outdoor coverage solution, offering a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution to delivering maximum coverage and capacity to multiple sites across a city.

EmpoweringSmart City Coverage

Traditionally networks have been hard-wired to a dedicated venue and designed to maximum capacity, even when most of the time a large chunk of that capacity remains idle.

idDAS provides a coverage solution that is right-sized for the application and can be shared across multiple venues depending on demand.

Deploying idDAS in the C-RAN architecture means all base station equipment can be located at a remote site outside of the city, reducing onsite rental and maintenance requirements. It removes the complexity, cost and disruptive impact

of deploying multiple operating and control sites for each venue that requires coverage. Network capacity can then be cost-effectively shared across multiple sites of a city.

idDAS offers a scalable digital platform that provides longevity for operators and infrastructure providers by offering simple upgrades to meet new connectivity requirements rather than a rip out and replace approach.

The idDAS digital platform delivers further cost-savings by supporting cellular, public safety and IP backhaul communications on the same infrastructure.

The resources from each communication source are combined in the digital domain rather than RF domain, therefore minimising the potential for RF interference.

As the industry approaches the next generation of wireless standards, it’s important that investments made in wireless infrastructure today are not going to be seen as a waste in the near future.

Operators and Infrastructure providers can feel confident investing in idDAS today as they prepare to support the 5G and IoT services of the future.
