Indoor Radio Planning

Why is high performance indoor wireless service needed, and how is it best implemented? As the challenge of providing better service and higher data speeds and quality for mobile applications intensifies, ensuring adequate in-building and tunnel coverage and capacity is increasingly important. A unique, single-source reference on the theoretical and practical knowledge behind indoor and tunnel radio planning, this book provides a detailed overview of mobile networks systems, coverage and capacity solutions with 2G, 3G and 4G cellular system technologies as a backdrop.

Morten Tolstrup has held a number of jobs for major DAS suppliers over the past decade, in multiple flagship DAS projects and deployments on a global scale. In addition to this, he spent 13 years in a number of different engineering positions with a mobile operator in Denmark, mainly focusing on indoor RF planning, tunnels, airports andSmall Cells. Morten has presented more than 100 papers, conference workshops and DAS training events around the world. This book is now the official textbook for a DAS planning Certification training program from a leading DAS supplier.
