Rapid GSM from Private Mobile Networks

A Private Mobile Networks product story

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Dec 6, 2007

Construction sites save money and speed up communications deployment with Rapid GSM.

Private Mobile Networks , the UK provider of private GSM network technology, announced the immediate availability of a GSM in a box solution.

The solution is designed to provide rapid deployment of a secure private GSM network to enable immediate coverage at new construction sites avoiding the delays typically experienced while traditional phone lines are installed.

The network uses standard mobile phones that have been registered to the private network, ensuring other phones cannot connect without approval.

Calls between users on site do not incur call charges, and a 6-month ROI is typical.

The unit is either battery or mains powered with over 4 hours of battery life.

The link back into the public network can be made through the PSTN, satellite or line of site equipment.

The unit contains an FXO Gateway as standard, with the option to have a satellite router.

The GSM rapid deployment unit (RDU) is a plug and play unit; it takes less than 5 minutes to power up and provides coverage within open spaces of up to 500m radius unidirectional for site personnel.

It is ideal for difficult sites where underground coverage is required, or where the steel frame or glass walling of the building infrastructure may affect the performance of standard mobile network signals.

The GSM traffic can also be used to communicate with other sites and over broadband IP network connections.

The units have been developed to address the need to provide communications rapidly, and to move the communications on quickly to the next site once a job is done.

They are CE Approved.

Housed in a ruggardised case they support a range of backhaul options.

The case comes complete with the Base Transceiver Station, a selection of ruggardised mobile phones, the battery unit and the connection for the backhaul to the IP network.

No installation is required.

The RDU is available immediately from accredited PMN partners.
