TE Connectivity Deploys Distributed Antenna System for Inorbit Mall

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TE Connectivity (TE) today announced that its FlexWave Prism distributed antenna system (DAS) has been deployed to cover the Inorbit Mall in Hyderabad, India. The FlexWave Prism DAS provides uniform coverage and capacity throughout the 1.6 million square foot property, and delivers services for three major mobile operators.

“The active FlexWave Prism DAS ensured that the system would deliver maximum power at every antenna point for multiple operators, and it could be deployed utilizing a single equipment room and thus took up less space.”

The new DAS supports four frequencies to deliver both 2G and 3G services within the mall. One of India’s leading neutral host, in-building solutions providers, Global Rural NetCo Limited (GRNL), a part of the Global Group of companies, did the design, deployment and selected the FlexWave Prism DAS as the preferred solution.

“With such a large area to cover we wanted to avoid long runs of coaxial cable where we would lose signal strength over the distance of the run,” said Kumar Chakravarthy – President, Sales at GRNL. “The active FlexWave Prism DAS ensured that the system would deliver maximum power at every antenna point for multiple operators, and it could be deployed utilizing a single equipment room and thus took up less space.”

“FlexWave Prism DAS makes it easy and cost-effective to cover large indoor areas like the Inorbit Mall,” said Chris Jurasek, vice president and general manager, of the TE Wireless and Services business unit. “With just a few remote antenna units, we can cover a large area with high capacity and consistent signal strength to ensure that visitors have a positive experience with their mobile devices.”

Mr. Kishore Bhatija, CEO, Inorbit Malls, said, “It has been our constant endeavor to make Inorbit a complete shopping destination. We are very proud to collaborate with TE Connectivity and GNRL to provide uninterrupted mobile services and unmatched browsing experience for our patrons at Inorbit Mall, Hyderabad. In this age where connectivity is extremely important, the FlexWave Prism DAS installed at Inorbit Hyderabad will ensure there is uninterrupted network and premier browsing speeds at any place within our premises.”
