Identifying the Problems

Traditional in-building deployment is a capital and labor intensive effort requiring much planning, expertise, and coordination. Existing methods used today require increased communication and collaboration with other organizations. Let’s take a look at some other issues operators are facing …

4G customers will be more demanding as poor in-building coverage is already a major cause of churn today

To support higher data speeds operators must improve signal quality and increase capacity devoted to in-building coverage ensuring consumer experience

Traditional means of in-building design depend heavily on individual experience and the engineers “gut-feeling” in antenna placement

Lack of proper interference calculations from outdoor macro sites in the upper floors of high-rise buildings, outdoor venues, and multi-building campuses

Difficulty tracking multiple project status’ when deploying several in-building solutions

Operators that anticipate these challenges, and begin planning for them now, will have a distinct advantage and capitalize over slower networks.

the solution is …

improve end-user experience reduce churn increase customer retention
