A 5G indoor mobile phone coverage system, using DAS infrastructure, will provide coverage for Sao Paulo’s Metro Line. The DAS infrastructure is owned by IHS Brazil, who are also responsible for its operation, maintenance, and monitoring through their network operating center.
IHS has started the first installation at Campo Belo station, and will cover remaining stations over an approximate 12-18 month period according to telecomlead. The solution, which uses a digital active system and 5G active antennas, is expected to serve around 630,000 people daily.
Sao Paulo Metro Line 5 has 17 stations, 12 of which are underground, and 7.5 miles of underground tunnels where mobile signals cannot reach without a dedicated antenna system, according to telecomlead.
Cassio Futuro, Commercial and Operations Director, IHS Brazil, said “With our expertise in indoor coverage systems, we are helping enable mobile connectivity across the entire length of Line 5. We are implementing a state-of-the-art system using 5G and 4G technology, so that mobile network operators are able to provide their service to end users throughout this transport system.”
