5G Cell Signal Boosters Help China Unicom Dongguan Branch Solve Weak 5G Coverage Issues

Project Introduction

In Dongguan city, many business halls of China Unicom had 5G signal outdoors but no signal indoors. And thus the sellers could not demonstrate 5G applications to their clients when promoting 5G products in the business halls. The area of the business halls is from 100-300㎡. To quickly solve the 5G coverage issue of indoor areas, China Unicom Dongguan Branch decided to adopt Hocell dual-channel 5G cell signal boosters.

Product and Solution

Hocell dual-channel cellular signal booster consists of four parts: dual-polarized donor antenna, indoor coverage unit, dual-polarized service antenna and feeders. The donor antenna receives two streams of 5G signal from outdoor base station and connects to the two input ports of the indoor coverage unit through the feeders. The indoor coverage unit connects to the dual-polarized service antenna with two output ports, and provides 2x2 MIMO 5G coverage for personal terminals and IOT devices indoors.

Project Achievement

After the deployment of 5G cell signal boosters, the business halls were covered by 5G signal. The downlink speed reached 200+Mbps on average and 300+Mbps maximally. The maximal speed indoors was almost the same as the speed tested near 5G signal source outdoors. The downlink and uplink speed of 4G was also improved after deploying the cell signal boosters. Besides, the VOLTE service was normal with good voice quality.
