Antevia’s Alex Smith says larger companies are getting past the experimental phase of private network deployments, and smaller companies are now starting to dip their toes in the water.
To enable that momentum, Antevia 5G Shift architecture removes deployment and operational complexity – making cellular networks a lot more like Wi-Fi to manage. That not only makes it easier for the deployer, but removes a lot of the managed services costs, which could be as much as 80% of the overall bill.
One way Antevia reduces complexity is by removing interference between multiple radio heads via its fronthaul multiplexer technology – to enable those multiple radioheads to appear as one cell.
“It makes for a design which can be much more easily installed and maintained,” Smith says.
The interview also touches on:
- Support for multi-operator neutral host deployments – in a way that changes the game for the business model
- The engagement Antevia is generating and how its model opens up new opportunities, without needing to stack up multiple use cases to justify ROI
- Upcoming sectors for deployment – such as music festivals and large events
