Overview
With the rapid advancement of 5G network deployment, indoor coverage has become a critical component of 5G applications. Unlike 4G, 5G operates in higher frequency bands, which results in weaker diffraction and penetration, making it more susceptible to interference over long distances. As a result, 4G+5G indoor small cells are expected to play a key role in ensuring reliable and consistent 5G connectivity.
The Thalcom 4G+5G Indoor Small Cell is designed with low power consumption, high integration, and flexible customization capabilities. It is ideal for deployment in environments where macro cell coverage is limited—such as high-density urban areas, commercial buildings, and public venues—and significantly enhances the Quality of Service (QoS) for both 4G and 5G networks.
