CommScope’s in-Building C-RAN - Enabling Smart Building Connectivity

Commercial and private in-building wireless coverage, best-in-class structured cabling, intelligent infrastructure management and professional services

Building owners and real estate developers can achieve better returns on their investments by attracting and retaining the more profitable, tech-savvy tenants with best-in-class enterprise solutions.

At the upcoming 5G Congress and Realcomm/IBcon events, CommScope will demonstrate powerful technologies that are shaping building networks of the future, including a live demonstration of Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) and in-building C-RAN antenna system.

Commercial real estate and property management firms, real estate departments and facility owners all recognize that in-building wireless coverage is a competitive advantage when attracting new tenants, potentially raising the value of the property by 28 percent.

To help bridge the gap with in-building coverage, CommScope will demonstrate its Era C-RAN antenna system and the recently-acquired Ruckus Networks’ CBRS LTE system together in a cost-saving joint-deployment model, running with CommScope’s CBRS Spectrum Access System (SAS).

This combination of technologies brings an unparalleled range of wireless communications – both commercial mobile operator services and emerging CBRS private LTE networks – all in an efficient, unified infrastructure that paves the way for 5G in the building.

CBRE, one of the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firms, understands the value that technology brings to buildings owners and tenants.

“CBRE Building Technology Consultancy works with property owners to develop a technology strategy," said Rick Varnell, executive vice president of Building Technology Consultancy, CBRE. "Network connectivity is a foundational part of any building strategy. We are working with CommScope to ensure that our diverse set of customers will receive the best wired and wireless solutions for their specific needs and will be able to realize the most value from their properties.”
