Will terrestrial networks remain a cornerstone of rural digitalization?
It is therefore reasonable to assume that terrestrial networks will remain important cornerstones of the rural digitalization journey in the years ahead.
Can satellites serve rural areas?
While non-terrestrial networks, where satellites deliver blanket coverage over large areas, have been proposed as a solution to serve rural areas, the served capacity per area falls an order of magnitude short of what terrestrial networks are able to achieve .
How does topography affect wireless coverage in rural areas?
Topography and foliage have a major impact on the attainable coverage and capacity of wireless networks in rural areas. Even small hills can create shadow regions with severe negative effects on coverage.
Can high towers improve mobile broadband coverage in sparsely populated areas?
The availability of mobile broadband coverage in sparsely populated areas has long been poor due to the low revenue that a rural site generates. Our latest research demonstrates that the use of high towers equipped with powerful radios can enhance the attainable coverage per site and reduce the total cost of ownership of rural deployments.
Can high towers improve rural coverage?
Our latest research demonstrates that the use of high towers equipped with powerful radios can enhance the attainable coverage per site and reduce the total cost of ownership of rural deployments. The expectation that internet connectivity will be available anywhere at any time is one of the key drivers of demand for mobile broadband (MBB).
How can a rural network increase capacity and user experience?
It is possible to enhance the capacity and user experience in rural deployments by upgrading existing sites, such as replacing existing equipment with larger antennas to improve coverage and/or adding new frequency bands to increase capacity. This approach may be adequate if the existing network already provides some rudimentary base coverage.
