SOLiD Empowers Wireless Service Providers and Building Owners to Deliver Affordable On-Demand Capacity and Coverage
SOLiD's New In-Building Wireless Solution GENESIS RAX Unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2017
Sunnyvale, California - SOLiD, the leader in in-building cellular and public safety infrastructure, today introduced SOLiD GENESIS RAX the industry’s first scalable, flexible, multi-operator, multiband vRAN signal source solution. GENESIS RAX is part of the SOLiD GENESIS platform which empowers middleprise building owners to cost-effectively operate their own in-building wireless network, including a multi-operator signal source component. The new solution lowers cost of on-demand capacity and coverage to wireless service providers.
The SOLiD GENESIS platform is built on a “supply meets demand” model that balances investment and risk equitably between middleprise building owners and wireless service providers. With this new approach to in-building cellular coverage and capacity, middleprise building owners can outfit their properties with an affordable, new generation distributed antenna system (DAS) and enter into a beneficial economic relationship with wireless service providers through GENESIS Marketplace. With GENESIS, wireless service providers increase their capacity and coverage, eliminate CAPEX, and reduce their OPEX costs while maintaining the standards, visibility and control they demand. Now, middleprise building owners and wireless service providers can have a direct, equitable and balanced long term relationship.
The GENESIS platform is comprised of three interoperable elements – new hardware technology, cloud-enabled functionality and the first ever capacity exchange application – to create a new industry model that reshapes the building owner and wireless service provider relationship to be win-win.
According to SOLiD Americas’ President Ken Sandfeld, “The relationship between building owners and wireless service providers is unbalanced. Building owners need high quality and ubiquitous coverage in their buildings for all wireless operators to satisfy occupants ever increasing wireless demands. But today’s middleprise solutions are complicated, built on poor economic models and provide no clear return on investment. On the other hand, wireless service providers are looking to expand their in-building capacity and coverage, but are constrained by the CAPEX investments required. The GENESIS platform helps re-balance the building owner – wireless service provider relationship by enabling a model where capacity and coverage supply meets capacity demand for the middleprise.”
The SOLiD GENESIS platform is built around four critical elements:
- SOLiD GENESIS RAX – the Radio Access eXchange provides highly scalable, multi-operator, multiband vRAN signal source solution.
- SOLiD GENESIS DAS – a new generation of DAS infrastructure solutions.
- SOLiD GENESIS CLOUD – SOLiD’s cloud solution provides management of all GENESIS platform elements.
- SOLiD GENESIS MARKETPLACE – SOLiD’s revolutionary cloud application that brings middleprise building owners and wireless service providers together in a balanced and equitable relationship in an automated way.
The SOLiD GENESIS RAX will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, Spain on February 27- March 2, 2017 at Hall 7, Booth G81.

SOLiD Debuts New In-building Public Safety Digital Repeater to Meet Middleprise Demand
SOLiD RESPONDER™ goes beyond-the-code to provide advanced features in a user friendly yet robust digital repeater
Sunnyvale, California - SOLiD, the leader in in-building cellular and public safety infrastructure, today introduced SOLiD RESPONDER™, a new in-building public safety digital repeater to meet the public safety demands of the growing middleprise market. SOLiD RESPONDER goes beyond-the-code to provide advanced interference reduction, oscillation avoidance and automated configuration features that deliver a robust, and powerful digital platform.
Authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) are rapidly adopting in-building public safety communication model codes developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and International Codes Council (ICC) at an accelerated rate. To go beyond meeting those code requirements, SOLiD has enhanced its proven amplifier technology.
According to Chief Alan Perdue (Ret.), executive director of the Safer Buildings Coalition, “AHJ’s are adopting and enforcing the latest in-building codes at an increased rate. Public safety in-building communication solutions in both new and existing buildings is not a one size fits all. Many buildings that impact public safety responder communications can be served by a simple BDA or repeater solution. Safer Buildings encourages OEM’s to provide advanced solutions for building owners to ensure an economical, yet technologically advanced solution to ensure the system will work where and when its needed.”
SOLiD Americas’ Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Youngman Cho adds, “SOLiD has been closely working with in-building public safety decision makers for years. RESPONDER leverages SOLiD’s proven amplifier expertise and applies our latest intellectual properties and technological advancements to meet the current code requirements. RESPONDER also represents SOLiD’s beyond-the-code thinking and provides many industry firsts that will elevate both the importance of first responder communications as well as the increasing role for robust repeater solutions in the market.”
SOLiD RESPONDER has advanced the off-air repeater in three critical areas:
- Prevents oscillation without decreasing gain to increase coverage and signal quality. SOLiD’s cutting-edge echo cancellation allows for isolation to match system gain. Taking an industry accepted standard of 15-20dB delta to a zero dB solution.
- Reduction of interference with commercial cellular DAS, an important part of public safety, is becoming ever important. RESPONDER provides unmatched internal filtering to ensure a minimum impact to Commercial DAS operation.
- Simplifies the installation and maintenance of the public safety repeater by providing self-organizing filter selection with Delay Priority options, automated spectrum analysis and channel selective or band selective power equalization.
The SOLiD RESPONDER will be unveiled at IWCE 2017 in Las Vegas, NV on March 29, 2017, at SOLiD booth 1762.
A SOLiD representative will be a panelist at IWCE on Friday, March 31 in session F11 at 9:45 AM, Room S230, In-building Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) Planning for Public Safety.
