TECHNOLOGY
Q&A; With Kunal Hinduja, ARQ
Deploying In-Building
Wireless Systems
Property owners need indoor wireless infrastructure that ofers great coverage and
capacity, looks good and comes at a reasonable cost. Balancing these objectives is a
complex undertaking.
W
ith demand for mobile bandwidth
burgeoning, the challenge of
providing indoor wireless coverage
is increasing. Equipment vendors, network
designers and service providers are rising to
that challenge with improved technologies and
deployment methods. Tese innovations enable
property owners to become less reliant on
traditional cellular network infrastructure and
to exercise more control over the quality of user
experience inside their buildings.
Investment in next-generation wireless
infrastructure is paying of. Many owners report
that equipping their buildings with modern
indoor telecommunications networks allows
them to charge higher rents and increases tenant
retention.
A network designer that specializes in
challenging indoor environments is Irvine,
Calif.-based ARQ, which has designed,
deployed and managed mobile networks since
2008. Recent projects include the corporate
campuses of Facebook, eBay and Yahoo; the
Staples Center in Los Angeles; Fort Lauderdale
Airport; the Las Vegas Convention Center; and
a variety of multifamily housing.
Recently,
BroadBand Communities had the
opportunity to talk with Kunal Hinduja, CEO
Kunal Hinduja, ARQ
Investment in next-generation wireless
infrastructure can increase the value of
multifamily and commercial buildings.
