Zinwave’s Colin Abrey says that his company is seeing a drive for in-building solutions coming from operators because of increasing mobile data usage. “That’s causing them to look at data offload and in-building coverage to maintain the efficientcy of their networks,” he says.
So where does Zinwave’s wideband active DAS solution help, and how does it compare to other approaches such as pico and femtocells?

“We see femto and picocells as complementary to our solution,” Abrey says, “covering different requirements. They are service and operator specific. But if your building is a larger building and you have multi-service requirements, or multiple operators providing services to that building, then you have to look beyond the femto/picocell solution and that’s where we come in.”
As for Zinwave? “We’ve had an exceptional year. growing much faster than the industry in general. We are getting buy in from operators on the wideband performance of our system, and we’re seeing an interest in shared systems as well.”
