The In-Building Challenge and Trends
6
2. The In-Building Challenge: Growing Demand
Motivation for in-building mobile infrastructures:
80% of mobile data traffic happens indoor
modern buildings are energy efficient metalized windows
thermal insulation
concrete walls
bad signal experience is quite common
improve customer experience indoor, in venues and public
places (LTE & 2x2 MIMO experience)
improve network operator reputation
serve capacity flexibly where is required, when is required
mobile communications become just another utility in
buildings and venues DAS Report Nov. 2014

K-BOW: flexible capacity allocation
11
4. Flexible capacity allocation in buildings
Capacity routing to where capacity is
actually required
Saving costs (network resources and
power consumption)
Without touching cabling, changing
setup per room/floor/building
Fast response to changing end-user
requirements
Adapting the system to the actual
situation/scenario
Support of single- and/or multi-
operator use cases
Traffic develops differently over the
day per building area
K-BOW saves up to 20% capacity
compared to legacy DAS solutions
Typical modern
enterprise city building

6. Choose the right and future proof cable
CATx Coax Optical Fiber
Characteristics 4x Twisted Pair (copper) Coaxial geometry, 1/2``, 7/8``
or 14/8``
N x 12 fibers per cable
Max length 80-100m 150-200m 3km (analog)
10km (digital)
Installation skills No relevant skills HF skills required No relevant skills
Datarate 10Gbps Up to 100Gbps, multiplex
opportunities
50% of total cost of a deployed indoor solution is cabling
Optical fiber supports future technology upgrades
Avoid invest every other year in cabling to support technologies upgrade
Optical fibre is the future proof cabling supporting future proof indoor solutions

7. K-BOW: flexible and future-proof indoor solution
| Communication Day, Bucharest, 28th April 2015 |
How K-BOW is flexibile and future
proof?
remotely managing capacity
demand
integrating 2x2 MIMO remote
units and antennas (4x4 MIMO
also possible)
using optical cables from C-HUB
to RUs
providing LTE-A features (Carrier
Aggregation, CoMP)
K-BOW has become reality: live demo setup in Kathrein HQ Rosenheim with real BTS connected.
You are invited to our HQ to attend to a demo session and play directly with the K-BOW system.
