| Stanhope and the Freshwave Group Bring High-Quality 4G Mobile Coverage to London’s Angel Court  Stanhope, an award-winning property developer, investor and asset manager, and the Freshwave Group, the leading UK network service provider, today announced that they have worked together to launch the UK's first Multi-Operator Digital DAS-Based managed mobile connectivity service, delivering high-quality wireless coverage to the occupiers of Angel Court. The two companies have deployed a comprehensive 4G system, delivering high-quality mobile signal with minimum download speeds of 60Mbps and up to 200Mbps by connecting occupiers to leading UK mobile operators throughout the 300,000 Sq Ft building.Poor quality mobile coverage is a major problem in modern buildings, which benefit from new environmentally friendly building materials and techniques that have the side effect of blocking mobile signals. Angel Court is a recently completed 24-storey mixed use tower in the heart of London, which combines work and outdoor areas. Stanhope worked with the Freshwave Group's indoor connectivity team StrattoOpencell to deploy an indoor mobile service providing occupiers, employees and visitors connectivity across all floors. A digital connectivity pioneer, StrattoOpencell deliver a truly neutral host managed service using mobile Small Cells and Digital Distributed Antenna Systems. Using technology approved for use by all four UK mobile network operators, it's now possible to deliver 2G, 3G and 4G coverage with dedicated backhaul and an upgrade path to future 5G compatibility indoors. "With 5G on the horizon it seems natural to believe that indoor coverage is no longer a concern. In fact, and especially in dense high-rise developments, it remains a challenge to provide occupiers with high-quality mobile coverage, " said Richard Bourne, CEO of StrattoOpencell. "It has been a privilege to work with Stanhope to ensure that buildings such as Angel Court can guarantee everyone network, and we are excited to collaborate with them on future projects." "Connectivity is an essential utility in any modern building and, having invested in one of the most eye-catching new developments in the City of London, it was essential to provide the same attention to detail when it came to ensuring mobile coverage, " said Nick Hiles, Asset Management Director of Stanhope. "This indoor mobile service provides the highest download speeds available on 4G while also providing an upgrade path to 5G – ensuring Angel Court occupiers will benefit from the best possible mobile connectivity today and tomorrow." write your comments about the article :: © 2020 Construction News :: home page |
