Allgon deliver Coverage Solution to Brussels Airport
Allgon deliver Coverage Solution to Brussels Airport Allgon has delivered a fiber optic repeater network system to the Brussels International airport in Belgium, improving the GSM 900 mobile phone coverage, quality and capacity for the entire airport. The radio signals are distributed on fiber optic cables to the repeaters from two base stations placed in a central equipment room. The project has been realized by Allgon's Coverage Solution team in collaboration with Proximus Belgacom Mobile. Proximus Belgacom concluded that the use of repeaters as a distributed antenna system instead of micro base stations offers several advantages. One advantage is that it makes it possible to build larger cells, which increase the total available capacity due to the increased trunking efficiency; and also the cell planning is less demanding. The distribution of the radio signals on optical fibers make very flexible system since it is easy to expand the system with additional capacity and also possible to redistribute the available capacity. - This has been an interesting project for us since coverage solutions like this for the Brussels airport calls for high radio knowledge, says Bengt Broman, President, Allgon System AB. Allgon Coverage Solution team is specialized in building cellular coverage in difficult and special environments using repeater network systems. Allgon has delivered complete systems to subways, road tunnels, shopping malls, large public buildings, underground mines and airports. Allgon has engineering teams for turnkey deliveries of repeater network systems in Europe, North America, Asia and South America.
