Antenna Concealment Solution Helps Wireless Operators Overcome Site
Issues and Facilitate Network Rollout and Enhancement
PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Comba Telecom Systems Holdings Limited
("Comba" or "the Group", Hong Kong stock code: 2342), a leading
wireless enhancement solutions provider launched its portfolio of
camouflaged antennas for the Asia Pacific market at the
CommunicAsia2011 event held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore between
21st to 24th June 2011.
Increasingly, mobile operators are encountering challenges in
network rollouts and enhancing wireless coverage. These challenges
may come in the form of local regulations on visual environment and
resistance from site owners, where the necessary antennas are
perceived as unsightly and unseemly for the surroundings. Such
issues often cause delays to projects and often the operator has no
recourse but to use non-optimal sites or locate the antenna behind
a structural facade, with adverse effects on performance and
negative impact on project costs.
Helping operators to address these challenges, Comba has
developed a portfolio of indoor and outdoor camouflaged antennas
with a variety of engineered exteriors that can blend into the
environment to overcome siting issues. The portfolio consists of
two main types of antennas according to requirements: customized
camouflaged antennas and integrated camouflaged antennas. Comba's
customized camouflaged antennas are a cost-effective solution where
a camouflaged exterior is designed and fitted to standard antennas
to match the surrounding environment with minimal effect on antenna
performance. The Comba integrated camouflaged antenna is a highly
engineered piece of equipment where the camouflaged exterior is the
actual antenna radome, thereby allowing optimal antenna performance
without the degradation of signal gains and VSWR typical of
traditional camouflage solutions.
Ms. Carol Ye, Deputy General Manager for Comba's Antenna and
Sub-Systems division said, "Siting issues are a serious problem for
operators with actual financial impacts. For example, project costs
may increase due to site approval delays, optimization costs may
increase if an operator is forced to deploy from non-optimal site,
and potentially lost revenue streams due to churn caused by
customer dissatisfaction over delays and poor quality of the
resultant coverage. Therefore, we are delighted to bring our latest
antenna solutions to the market. Comba's camouflaged antennas are
developed with aesthetics and performance being a priority and are
a proven solution with deployments in other parts of the world. Our
antennas have been used by our customers in a variety of settings,
from residential areas to historical sites where the visual
ambience must be maintained. With this in mind, we work closely
with our customers to ensure that their network objectives are
reached."
