JMA Wireless has developed mobile connectivity solution used in Carlsberg City District. This new sustainable city district, on the original site of the famous Carlsberg Brewery, is minutes from the center of Copenhagen and includes 101,000 m2 of space dedicated to housing, commercial offices, shops, restaurants, underground parking and the new Carlsberg Campus for UCC university college.

To ensure powerful cellular coverage for the many students, employees and residents, system integrator, KM Telecom, deployed the multi-band, multi-carrier TEKO DAS (distributed antenna system) platform from JMA Wireless. Supplying robust cellular capacity and coverage across an urban environment sprinkled with new and old structures, such as Carlsberg, required a powerful solution. The TEKO DAS supports four mobile operators - TDC, 3, Telia, and Telenor. Even though the operators did not join the network at the same time, the engineering team was able to accommodate them easily with the flexible platform.

During this initial deployment phase, the TEKO DAS supports three sectors with eight high-power remote units (RUs) and 191 antennas. This solution is extremely efficient because only a single optical fiber is used per remote unit to connect it to the master unit (MU). Each fiber can deliver up to five European bands. Further efficiencies were achieved thanks to the ability to configure each remote unit from a single administrative interface at the MU. This same administrative interface can be used for future firmware updates too. KM Telecom had the wireless system operational within four months, completing it in time for the students’ first day of classes.

To overcome any issues regarding the interference between the macro and DAS networks the iBwave simulation tool was used during the installation process. This in-building tool resulted in smarter planning, design and deployment of the DAS.
