Solution for mobile indoor coverage

Which problem does it solve ?

Indoor

Mobile usage is increasing every year, with 80% of mobile calls happening inside buildings.

Glass

Buildings and dwellings have higher requirements in terms of thermal insulation, and materials used to meet that need have strong effect on indoor signal attenuation.

Antenna system (DAS)

Distributed antenna system can be a solution for mobile indoor coverage, but they also present drawbacks :

  • They require complex installation, and hardware that can have significant cost
  • They imply maintenance and replacement costs
  • They are often working for a single operator
  • Can’t be scaled for all situations

We propose a solution that improves indoor coverage

Surface treatment of the glass, without any impact on frames or installation

Double glass with coating

  • 72 Light transmission
  • 38 Solar factor
  • -30db Radio signal loss

Double glass with coating + WAVETHRU

  • 72 Light transmission
  • 38 Solar factor
  • -3db Radio signal loss

Can be adapted for each project/building :

  • Design of pattern
  • % of windows to apply in the building
  • % surface for each window to apply de-coating

What is it ?

A surface treatment applied on the glass, without any impact on frames or installation
A better indoor mobile coverage, without compromise on windows performance
Can be applied on the entire glass or partially, depending on the building situation and customer needs
