German operator Deutsche Telekom said it relies on ultra-mobile transmission towers to meet short-term needs due to festivals or giant structures.
A few months ago, Deutsche Telekom developed a prototype called the “mobile phone mast-to-go.” Around a dozen companies are testing the mast, the carrier said in a release.
“With our call to test our ultracellular cellular mast, we have attracted great interest from corporations from a wide variety of industries. This main call demonstrates that there is a need for a flexible cellular communications solution, even among commercial customers. This confirms our commitment to commercially deliver this ‘made through Telekom’ innovation commercially in the future,” said Klaus Werner, Managing Director Commercial Customers at Telekom Deutschland.
The first testers include Swiss construction and real estate service provider Implenia. The company will supply its bridge construction site in Bad Lobenstein, in Thuringia, with 5G and 4G/LTE during the two-year construction phase. The construction site in the valley could not be reached by the conventional cell phone towers in the area, the telco said.
Deutsche Telekom’s cellular telephony tower equips the structure site with communication services. For Implenia, this fundamental cellular teletelephony policy is also an ideal basis for IoT applications, which the corporate structure uses to optimize processes and curtain flows at the structure site. It is connected to the fiber optic network of the bridge structure site. However, the German operator said it will also test satellite connectivity for this solution in the future.
The entire cellular radio transmission generation fits in a compact microcontainer with a length of 1. 6 meters, a width of 2 meters, and a height of 2. 6 meters. The microcontainer can be connected to a local power source or forced through any other cell phone. source of strength. Connection to the knowledge network is possible both through fiber optics and through radio link, the telephone operator said.
The European airline explained that this solution is not only ideal for quick or temporary policies of business customers, but also in crisis spaces thanks to its maximum flexibility.
Deutsche Telekom will publish an announcement offering the use of ultra-mobile transmission towers in the spring of 2024.
Deutsche Telekom recently said it expected to launch its 5G Standalone (5G SA) offering in Germany this year. Srini Gopalan, CEO of Telekom Deutschland, which is DT’s domestic operator, said the carrier is aiming at offering 5G SA to private customers.
The executive noted that Deutsche Telekom’s business consumers already belong to this generation for purposes such as network slicing for live TV media streaming or on 5G campus networks for industry and research.
The carrier also highlighted that its 5G network currently covers 96% of the German population. Deutsche Telekom’s 5G network has 80,000 5G antennas, including over 10,000 antennas transmitting on the 3.6 GHz band in more than 800 cities and municipalities across the country.
Gopolan said DT’s 5G generation currently offers download speeds of up to 1 Gbps and that the telecom operator hopes to reach 99% of the German population with 5G by 2025.
