Tunnel Coverage
Tunnel Coverage Concepts and Disadvantages of alternatives to Radiating Cable:
Traditional Antenna based in-tunnel coverage solutions are possible, however those solution comes with significant drawbacks such as:
Poor coverage due to elevation contour of the tunnel
Signal blockage by trains
Signal blockage by curves (e.g. metro)
Challenging system design particularly for receiving antennas located inside the train
Sizes becomes a critical parameter notably for mission critical applications at lower frequencies
Antenna based solutions do not provide the required system reliability and availability - particularly in 4G / 5G capacity driven communication systems
Advantages of Radiating Cable for Tunnels:
C&C Universal Engineering Sdn Bhd’s Tunnel Solutions employs RADIAFLEX Radiating Cables which is the industry’s most advanced portfolio of 4G / 5G-ready radiating cables for wireless indoor communications. RADIAFLEX radiating cables:
Support all services up to 6 GHz with high performance, making them ideal for multiband, multi-operator applications in the most challenging indoor and underground environments
Can be combined to take advantage of 3.5 GHz spectrum and accelerate to 5G in buildings and tunnels
Support for any Application:
RADIAFLEX radiating cables are available in several families with different bending radii, performance levels and outer conductor types to meet any application requirements:
In-building and in-tunnel applications that require the highest possible radiating cable performance to support throughput-optimized 5G coverage solutions and the highly reliable systems needed for mission-critical wireless communications
Heavy-duty in-building and mining applications
In-vehicle applications
Plenum-rated installations
