In-building Cellular
Building the 5G connected workplace
Across the enterprise, the need for in-building mobile coverage is undeniable and growing. Diverse technologies, new spectrum (5G and CBRS) and tougher demands require solutions that are intelligent, future ready, and easy to manage.
CommScope leads the way with in-building cellular solutions—5G and LTE distributed antenna systems (DAS), small cells and more—designed to drive better employee and customer experiences.
Challenges and opportunities
Ensure complete indoor coverage
Most mobile communication occurs indoors, yet today’s buildings block outdoor cell signals from penetrating. How do you ensure the reliable and ubiquitous connectivity your users expect?
Support multiple operators
Not only must your mobile platform support more traffic and devices, but it must also be flexible and robust enough to handle the diverse requirements of multiple operators and multiple bands.
Evolve to 5G
Technologies are constantly advancing. The arrival of 5G brings with it exciting new opportunities as well as new challenges. Meet them head on with mobile platforms that are technology agnostic and future ready.
Leverage private LTE
Private LTE provides a new option for business-critical enterprise applications that require security, mobility and high performance.
Keep it simple
As indoor mobility advances, mobile platforms must remain simple and cost-effective to install, configure and maintain. Using solutions designed to run on standard IT cabling is just one way to do that.
Keep safe
Ensure that first responders have instant access to the network for vital emergency communications.
