Smart City Connectivity

on request (2022)
Scale: City Level
Comprehensive connectivity is a prerequisite for digitization. Applications such as IoT, intelligent traffic control/surveillance, autonomous vehicles, smart grid/meters, are just a few from a long list.

Challenge

As different as the applications are, they have one thing in common: they all need connectivity.

Nationwide 5G mobile coverage is the key to digitization. However, what are the challenges and obstacles in the provider rollout? 5G requires even more antenna sites than 4G, but due to the many construction moratoriums, network coverage cannot be implemented as planned. Due to this, innovative and solution-oriented infrastructure owners, in collaboration with providers, have started building "small cell" antennas. Due to the low transmission power, these antennas are not subject to authorization and thus enable a faster rollout. This brings several advantages:

1. the infrastructure owner can lease fiber to mobile providers (revenue)

2. the providers receive urgently needed antenna sites

3. residents enjoy good network coverage

4. companies (industry 4.0) enjoy low latency (real-time transmission)

5. the city/community enjoys a higher location attractiveness

Solution

The outdoor connectivity solution must therefore be able to withstand a number of environmental influences, be extremely flexible and reliable, and be used for a wide range of applications. The Q-ODC system solution meets precisely these requirements. With the help of the"Quick-OutDoor-Connector"(Q-ODC) system, it is possible to build a universally robust smart city communication infrastructure that can be used equally by different stakeholders. So everyone benefits!
