CommScope will demonstrate its new Metro Cell Concealment Solution at Mobile World Congress 2015 (MWC 2015) in Barcelona.
The two-piece concealment solution will assist telecom operators to install small cell sites in urban areas in order to increase wireless network capacity.
The company said new CommScope Metro Cell Concealment Solution features a two-piece design for mounting all the necessary equipment for metro cell operation.
Two enclosures can mount and hide radios, antennas, backhaul termination — wireline or wireless, back-up batteries and other equipment on street poles in units that are more structurally balanced and easier to permit, said CommScope.
Telecom operators can install the Metro Cell Concealment Solution without ground-based cabinets and rights of way. The company in a statement said the two enclosures occupy much less space than what is allowed in most local requirements.
This apart, mobile service providers can deploy the solution in a single work shift, minimizing on-street disruption and the opportunity for error.
The CommScope solution supports multiple radio technologies or a second network operator, if required.
