by Brianna Crandall — June 10, 2016 — Zinwave, a global provider of wideband distributed network solutions for in-building wireless, showcased its new wireless coverage solution for elevators at the World Elevator and Escalator Expo in Guangzhou, China in May.
Zinwave demonstrated how its small, fiber-fed remote amplifier units can eliminate the challenges of maintaining consistent cellular and public safety wireless signals inside elevator cars. Already in use at Studio City Macau and planned for deployment at the MGM Resort Macau, Zinwave’s solution is engineered to deliver the highest cellular performance inside elevators.
In the past, building owners have tried to achieve wireless coverage in elevators by deploying distributed antenna systems (DAS) in elevator lobbies or at one end of each elevator shaft, notes Zinwave, but the elevator cars’ mobility has made it difficult to maintain a consistent signal, often leading to dropped calls and frustrated users.
Zinwave’s on-car remote amplifiers ensure a strong and consistent cellular and public safety wireless service inside the car no matter where it moves.
Zinwave is a subsidiary of McWane Inc., a privately held U.S.-based manufacturing company and owner of a global group of wireless technology companies.
