High-density campus communications are critical in the operation of densely populated airports, stadiums, convention centers, shopping malls, classrooms, hospitals, dense smart cities, and more. They also drive Smart City and Smart Building use cases as High-Density Communications (HDC) become recognized as an essential fourth utility. However, the unique requirements and designs demanded by HDC make implementation challenging.

In High-Density and De-Densified Smart Campus Communications: Technologies, Integration, Implementation and Applications, a team of experienced technology strategists delivers a one-of-a-kind treatment of the requirements, technologies, designs, solutions, and trends associated with HDC. From the functional requirements for HDC and emerging data/Wi-Fi 6/internet access/5G cellular/OTT video, and IoT automation--including pandemic-related de-densification--to the economics of broad deployment of HDC, this book includes coverage of every major issue faced by the professionals responsible for the design, installation, and maintenance of high-density communication networks. It also includes:

A thorough introduction to traditional and emerging voice/cellular design for campus applications, including the Distributed Antenna System (DAS)
Comprehensive explorations of traditional sensor networks and Internet of Things services approaches
Practical discussions of high-density Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity and related technologies, like Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6, spectrum, IoT, VoWiFi, DASs, microcells issues, and 5G versus Wi-Fi issues
In-depth examinations of de-densification, office social distancing, and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technologies

Perfect for telecommunication researchers and engineers, networking professionals, technology planners, campus administrators, and equipment vendors, High-Density Smart Campus Communications will also earn a place in the libraries of senior undergraduate and graduate students in applied communications technologies.

Résumé

Discover how to design, deliver, and implement high-density communications solutions

High-Density Smart Campus Communications: Technologies, Integration, Implementation and Applications delivers a concise synthesis of the deployment technologies, strategies, and implementation issues that arise in the design and application of real-world high-density communications environments in airports, stadiums, convention centers, shopping malls, classrooms, hospitals, cruise ships, and more.

You'll learn future-oriented strategies for the implementation of next-generation Wi-Fi and 5G communications networks in high density environments, like smart airposrts, advanced airport robotics, and wayfinding. You'll also discover effective deployment strategies using a comprehensive case study based on a top-10 airport deployment by the Slice Wireless team.

The book includes information about security requirements, large and boutique solution providers, applications, unbundled services, implementation planning and design, as well as operations and network management. An epilogue written by Josie Jo-Anne Dressendofer of Slice Wireless concludes the text. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

A thorough introduction to background and functional requirements for high density communications, including requirements for airports, stadiums, convention centers, classrooms, train and subway stations, and smart cities
An exploration of traditional voice and cellular technology, including DAS designs and architectures and microcellularization
Practical discussions of traditional data and Wi-Fi, including throughput/interference and security
A treatment of evolved hotspot connectivity, including Wi-Fi and 5G
Perfect for telecommunication researchers and engineers, networking professionals, technology professionals, campus administrators, and equipment vendors, High-Density Smart Campus Communications will also earn a place in the libraries of senior undergraduate and graduate students in applied communications technologies.
