Building 5G where we need it the most - Indoor

It cannot be stated enough - this new Swedish framework for indoor mobile networks is a game-changer in order to secure that we end-users get real 5G where it is needed the most - Indoor. 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 is that a single shared network is needed which all operators can connect to on equal terms, overlapping networks is an ESG disaster and an economical impossibility. 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 is that the shared network needs to be a modern active network in order to actually deliver high performance in both high speeds (Mbps) as well as massive capacity (Mbps per sqm) but also to enable all future possibilities like accurate indoor positioning as well as other cool 5G tech. The property owners behind this model represent a huge part of commercial properties in Sweden and they are willing to invest in 5G, side-by-side with mobile operators, to secure that our society can benefit from future of connectivity everywhere indoor, a must for us to have a chance to reach net-zero goals for sure.

𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝟓𝐆 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 🇸🇪 Sweden was more or less a leading nation when it came to building out 3G and 4G but for many reasons Sweden has been slow in ramping up 5G deployments and are still lagging behind. When the industry say this and measure the 5G deployment we actually talk about OUTDOOR coverage of anything that can be called 5G...these measurements have very little to do with what end-users can actually experience in terms of mobile services...especially since end-users spend over 90% of their time indoor and thus 80% of the mobile network capacity is actually used by end-users that are inside buildings. Fastighetsägarna together with the largest property owners in Sweden (Akademiska Hus, AMF Fastigheter AB, Castellum, Hufvudstaden, Vasakronan, Jernhusen AB, Stena Fastigheter, Riksbyggen - Rum för hela livet, Niam, Axfast AB) yesterday launched a framework for how they see that the future of indoor high performance mobile networks must be built, in order for them to be able to invest in future proofing their properties with 5G. - Active networks that can deliver high performance indoor 5G - Networks built and managed by one infrastructure operator, that are responsible to deliver indoor mobile infrastructure as a service to property owners, working with all public operators to - Infrastructure operator lends the spectrum from connected mobile operators (ie. don't have own spectrum) - All operators can connect freely on equal/non-discriminatory terms - Mobile operators sell their services directly towards end-users within properties (as they currently do) So, in summary, Sweden might not have been first to build out outdoor 5G (by name only) but now have the chance to become the first nation to actually secure real high performance 5G to end-users where they actually are - indoor. Amazing work Kaj Winther and everyone else involved

Great work towards an unified approach. I have some doubts concerning the second point. Why enforce an active DAS when on most cases a passive DAS can do must of the job? Active DAS are more expensive and their lifetime is limited.

Great work. This seems to be driven by the end users, whereas our JOTS is driven by the MNOs. It will be curious to see how this progresses. Do let me know if you need infrastructure.

Absolutely groundbreaking. 🚀 This new Swedish framework for indoor mobile networks is set to revolutionize the way we experience 5G connectivity indoors.
