The indoor 5G coverage your employees, guests, and customers deserve

Establish a high-performance neutral host network with less
infrastructure and complexity
Over 80% of mobile data is consumed indoors, yet most buildings still lack a robust 5G
network. Legacy active distributed antenna systems (DAS) can improve indoor 5G coverage, but the performance
limitations and extensive infrastructure requirements are less than ideal. Enterprises are using easy-to-scale,
simple-to-deploy neutral host solutions to provide reliable connectivity for employees and customers so they can
call 911 during an emergency, reach friends and family with timely questions , or simply access worked-related and
recreational apps on their personal devices.
More performance than enterprises expect
One of the best ways to improve cellular performance via a
neutral host network is to implement MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) to increase throughput and
reliability. Ericsson Enterprise 5G Coverage supports MIMO natively, without adding any infrastructure.
The Radio Dot System expedites the signal distribution process, which reduces loss and improves the quality
of service, and provides deeper control of specific coverage areas within a building.
Multi-carrier support with less infrastructure
Active DAS requires numerous cables,
connectors, headend equipment, racks, uninterruptible power supplies, and radios — especially in order
to support multiple carriers. Ericsson Enterprise 5G Coverage is a modern small cell neutral host solution
requiring no analog-todigital conversion, and featuring nodes and radios that support all three carriers
instead of just one. It easily scales to more than 10 million square feet, making it ideal for any size
of building.
More flexibility to keep improving the network
The legacy, analog-to-digital nature of active DAS makes it
very inflexible and quite limited in its ability to support new technologies and features. A small cell neutral
host solution such as Ericsson Enterprise 5G Coverage supports new features like indoor precise positioning,
RedCap, carrier aggregation, and network slicing. This solution also supports 4G and 5G from one set of Radio
Access Network (RAN) infrastructure.
10 World Trade establishes indoor 5G coverage that’s built to scale
At the 10 World Trade building, Boston Global Investors and Aspen Venue Partners
deployed a solution built to establish excellent indoor 5G coverage from day 1 — without sacrificing performance
and scalability.
Streamline your infrastructure with the Radio Dot System
The Ericsson Radio Dot System, working cohesively with basebands managed by cellular network operators, mimics
a large outdoor macro cell, but indoors. Also known as a Distributed Radio System (DRS), this solution separates
the functionalities: The basebands feed into Ericsson Indoor Radio Units (IRUs), where the computing takes place.
The IRUs signal to the Radio Dots at the edge. The presence of multiples nodes, or small cells, throughout a
building fosters more intelligence and control of specific areas, with greater performance. And all of it can
be managed from anywhere through Ericsson’s cloud-based Network Management Portal.
