A number of telecommunication operators has awarded their latest in
building solution projects to Sierra Global where the company undertakes
end-to-end solutions from initial stages of planning, acquisition, and
detailed survey to design followed by installation and testing up to the
final stage of commissioning of the system.
"Currently the number of mobile phone users is growing, and so is
their demand for high quality service. People spend a large part of
their time inside buildings, and increasingly rely on mobile phones to
communicate. Whether it's a crowded convention centre or a remote
railway station, users expect their mobile phones to perform. High
quality indoor coverage in public places is already a much sought-after
commodity for both building owners and tenants. The growth of mobile
communications has meant that the provision of wireless communication
within airports, factories, stadiums and office buildings has become not
only expected but in some instances mandatory" said Dr. Arosha Fernando,
Director and CEO of Sierra Global.
"Users expect mobile broadband everywhere, especially indoors, where
more than half of all mobile traffic is generated. Operators need to
meet those expectations if they want to be competitive.
IBS provides the capacity that subscribers demand and opens the door
for targeted, location-based applications.
It's becoming more important as 4G mobile technology shifts into high
gear with LTE, and continuous demand for faster speeds means the
operator need to provide radio coverage everywhere subscribers want. We
are pleased to see the aggressive steps taken by number of local
telecommunication operators to focus in this segment, and we have been
selected as their partner of choice for the implementation" said
Wijesiri Malasinghe, Senior Consultant to the CEO at Sierra Global.
"As part of the IBS projects, we are planning to strengthen the
signal level of mobile communication inside buildings which will bring
the direct benefits to those who are living inside and visiting the
premises enabling them to have an effective and smooth communication
through mobile networks. As we all are well aware that the weak signal
level is now a day a common problem that every mobile user is facing
inside the buildings.
Our aim is on behalf of the telecommunication operators to sort out
the possible communication problems due to weak signal level by
providing some essential network infrastructure developments inside the
selected key building premises in Sri Lanka and selected overseas
countries.
In the long run this may attract more tenants who will realize that
the place is well covered with sound signal strength" said Chandana
Perera, Project Manager - IBS at Sierra Global who has successfully
undertaken IBS projects of 2,483 buildings in 26 countries including
Europe, Middle East and Asia. |
