SingleDAS Help Azercell Enhance Brand in Crystal Hall

Backgroud

Crystal Hall

Crystal Hall , the biggest theater in Azerbaijan, Total seats

are 25000 . There are many VIP mobile customers.

Azercell mobile market share: 60%, 3G subscriber

rate:90%, but have no coverage in Crystal Hall

High complaint rate

Challenge

Equipment footprint is limited ,difficult to deploy E//

Marco BTS equipment

1800MHz LTE evolution demand, but it is too hard to get

the authorization to rebuild system.

Benefit

One set of equipment support multi-system ,fast deployment

High output power(40W per band) make less equipment, easy deployment

One deployment support capacity flexible scheduling and LTE

evolution ,reduce CAPEX

Excellent coverage (RSCP>95dBm : 100%, Ec/Io>7dB : 99%), reduce

France SFR: POI3401 Replaced Traditional POI In Paris Subway

Background
SFR deployed UMTS and LTE over all RATP transport network
in Paris, and shared with BYG/LotB/Orange. The network is
composed of 295 stations and 319 radio sites.

Challenges

5 bands and 4 operators sharing, Inter-modulation

rejection is the biggest challenge

Tradition solution do not support evolution from 2G

to UMTS and LTE

Installation space is narrow, traditional solution is

hard to update new band
