Problem
Millimeter wave (mmWave) networks face challenges in signal propagation, especially in urban environments and indoors, leading to limited coverage and reduced network speeds. Traditional network deployments require a large number of base stations to overcome these challenges, resulting in high infrastructure costs. Optimizing network performance and managing signal beams in real-time is also complex and costly.
Solution
Pivotal Commware offers a smart repeater ecosystem based on Holographic Beam Forming technology to enhance mmWave network coverage and capacity. Their solution includes the WaveScape planning tool, which optimizes the placement of network elements like repeaters and 5G base stations to minimize total cost of ownership. The Pivot 5G network repeater extends mmWave coverage outdoors, while the Echo 5G subscriber repeater penetrates and floods mmWave indoors with native 5G NR connectivity. The Intelligent Beam Management System (IBMS) uses machine learning to manage network changes predictably and in real-time, optimizing network status.
Target Audience
The primary customers are mobile network operators and fixed wireless access providers looking to improve mmWave network coverage, capacity, and reduce deployment costs.
