Ericsson launches new site solution

Ericsson has launched the Ericsson Capsule Site to address the challenges faced by telecom operators in finding new locations for radio base stations in urban and suburban areas. The site is designed by Scandinavian architect Thomas Sandell.

According to the company, the Ericsson Capsule Site is an all-in-one solution encapsulating all necessary equipment, thereby reducing installation time by up to 50%, and reducing costs by up to 30%. It is delivered in a 'flat-pack' form, making transport easier and can be assembled in less than one day.

With the possibility to customize the appearance of the site with colors and illumination, operators will also have branding opportunities and can adapt the visual impact of the base station in an urban environment. The site can be equipped with touch screens and advertising space, providing the operator with new revenue opportunities, according to the company.

Ulf Ewaldsson, vice president and head of product area radio networks at Ericsson, said: "Ericsson strives to constantly redefine the telecommunications landscape with its innovative technology and design. With its small footprint and ability to blend into its surroundings, the solution reflects our commitment to the development of sustainable societies. The Capsule Site provides operators with new possibilities, from increased alternatives for site locations to new revenue opportunities."
