Deploys 2G and 3G solution in metro tunnels and stations STOCKHOLM,
May 13 /PRNewswire-Asia/ — Comba Telecom Systems Holdings Limited
("Comba" or the "Group", HKEx: 2342), a leading wireless solutions
provider, announced the successful completion and handover of a
turnkey wireless solution for the Yerevan Metro rapid transit system
that serves the capital of Armenia, Yerevan. The metro is using an
end-to-end solution based on Comba technology to enable ubiquitous
coverage for mobile phone users within the metro stations and tunnels.
The Yerevan Metro is one of the main transport modes for the residents
of Armenia’s capital city. It began operations in 1981 and currently
consists of a train line of approximately 13km servicing a total of
10 stations in both underground and above ground environments.
In order to supply passengers with ubiquitous wireless coverage in the
network, Comba designed, installed and commissioned a dual-mode GSM
and UMTS wireless solution after operational hours to avoid disruption
to passengers. Working simultaneously with the installation of base
stations for signal servicing, Comba implemented an active Distributed
Antenna System (DAS) for coverage on station platforms, customized
optical fiber repeater systems for seamless coverage and handover in
and out of tunnels. Through the deployment of these systems, Comba
allowed for maximum network flexibility and minimized operating
costs through centralized locations — thus simplifying equipment,
maintenance and upgrade processes.
Mr. Fredrik Dyfverman, Comba EMEA General Manager said, "Through the
deployment of Comba’s solution, passengers on the Yerevan Metro can
now experience uninterrupted mobile phone communications. The supply
of services is a crucial part of Comba’s total solution that included
design, testing, commissioning and optimization of a cost-effective
and robust wireless system." Key Project Highlights — Network design,
installation, commissioning and optimization services — 2G and 3G
coverage — Deployment of the following equipment: — Customized
optical fiber Repeater units (master and remote) — High gain micro
antennas — Configured Operation and Maintenance (OMC) software About
