Vodafone Germany has a compact 5G antenna in partnership with vendor Ericsson.
Earlier this week, Vodafone revealed that the first compact 5G antenna was deployed in the Düssseldorf parking garage.
By the end of next year, VODAFONE will be expanded up to 500.
Note that the deployment of the site can enlarge the 5G mobile network coverage on the roof, especially on the rooftop.
Vodafone has acknowledged the problem of expanding the network on the roof of Germany, and has stated a landowner opposition in addition to the lack of space.
The company said, “There are many cases where the LTE antenna has already sent an additional 5G antenna space on the existing roof site.”
For this reason, Vodafone stated that it has started a new antenna technology to improve the performance, capacity, and coverage of 5G networks on the roof mobile phone site without increasing the footprint of the antenna. 。
“Strong winds apply pressure to the surface of the antenna attached to the roof. The higher the mobile phone antenna, the higher the wind load.”
“This increases wind resistance and static requirements. Therefore, it is not possible to upgrade all existing roofs with active 5G antennas. Search for new roofs on Germany. This is a big issue for network expansion.
He said that the antenna was developed by Ericsson, just behind the existing LTE technology, and the static requirements of the roof have not changed significantly.
“Using a compact active passive antenna will improve mobile broadband experience in the city in the future. Ericsson’s” Interleave Air 3218 “greatly simplifies the site upgrade, building restrictions, planning laws, or law. Accelerate the 5G development, which was limited by the plan of the law. For static reasons, Daniel Rhehehehehebach, the director of the Western European customer unit and Ericsson’s management director, added.
