Enterprise deployments

Forcon deploys 3GPP solutions for enhanced indoor or external campus mobile coverage, predominantly in the 4G and 5G markets. The need to stay connected is not only a MNO business driver but also applies to hotels and SME or large enterprises (NPN).

Forcon has planned and deployed femtocell and NPN in the UK and Germany for all these business sectors using a variety of vendor-specific RAN technology.

The advantage the femtocell has over the repeater is that it is a true offloading technology. The repeater merely rebroadcasts the local macrocell signal, whereby the femtocell is a base station in its own right, feeding the data direct through the Internet to the MNO core network.

No matter how congested the local macrocell is, it will not affect the performance of the femtocell. The benefits to business by deploying a high performance NPN are covered in our 5G NPN section here

Deployment of femtocells is considerably cheaper than the traditional DAS model, and it is not dependant on the presence of a local macrocell; it can be deployed anywhere where DSL is available.
