SOLiD, the provider of cellular in-building and public safety infrastructure, has launched the SOLiD RocketWAVETM 5G off-air repeater platform, the company said.
The RocketWAVE solution will provide millimeter wave (mmWave) signal distribution, 5G performance, speed and capacity indoors. New RocketWAVE mmWAVE products offer a simple, economical solution to assure seamless in-building service for mobile operators wishing to extend their mmWave networks indoors in the United States. RocketWAVE mmWave products will support 24GHz, 28Ghz, and 39GHz individually.
Without reliable in-building solutions, 5G subscribers will experience a drastic drop in performance every time they walk indoors, resulting in poor customer experience often to high churn rates. This issue is particularly problematic with new mmWave frequencies, given their higher attenuation and short propagation nature. Moreover, the challenge of extending 5G coverage indoors is further complicated by the increasing use of energy-efficient building materials, which can block or weaken many RF signals.
SOLiD drives extreme edge connectivity through a portfolio of DAS, optical and IOT solutions to connect people, places and things in a fantastically connected world. SOLiD delivers distributed antenna systems, optical transport and IOT solutions across the globe.
