The demand for seamless 4G and 5G in-building connectivity has never been higher. Wireless data traffic is rapidly escalating as AI-powered tools and applications permeate our daily lives and strain mobile networks. In fact, AI-related mobile traffic is expected to increase three times faster than overall network traffic, and it is projected to make up nearly a third of all broadband traffic by 2034.
As this mobile data traffic grows, in-building distributed antenna system (DAS) platforms require robust bandwidth, high performance, and low latency to keep up with indoor capacity demand. Unlike traditional mobile networks, next-generation networks need to accommodate more AI-driven data uploads versus downloads, as well as unpredictable bursts of traffic. Above all, flexibility and scalability will be key to meeting these new mobile traffic challenges.
To provide the scalable coverage needed to meet this burgeoning demand, SOLiD has introduced the SOLiD nGENESIS™ digital DAS solution for the U.S. market. This next-generation DAS offers outstanding signal quality and performance to deliver multi-operator, neutral-host connectivity in high-capacity venues such as stadiums, hospitals, airports, subway systems, hotels, and universities.
A Vision for Innovation and Sustainability
The carrier-grade nGENESIS DAS simplifies deployment and scales effortlessly to deliver versatile, neutral-host connectivity. This fourth-generation digital DAS platform is engineered to deliver high-capacity, multi-operator coverage with maximum bandwidth and outstanding performance. The increased flexibility, efficiency, and scalable capacity management of this digital DAS platform make it ideally suited for large-scale, complex 5G environments.
The SOLiD nGENESIS DAS accepts both digital and RF signal inputs, providing maximum flexibility and savings potential by eliminating the need for mobile network operator (MNO) radios at the head-end. By transporting signals digitally, nGENESIS DAS reduces commissioning and integration labor, including remote sectorization changes without moving any cables, as well as enabling remote base station hotels, and supporting daisy-chaining of remotes where fiber is not abundant.
The nGENESIS platform is not just about raw power — it’s about smart power. Offering energy-saving sustainability, this DAS sets a new industry benchmark for efficiency by reducing headend power consumption and radio node power usage by more than 50 percent, all within a compact, space-saving footprint. It is optimized for high-capacity data transmission, supporting up to two 25 Gbps fiber optic transmissions in a scalable digital platform.
