Cells were considered good innovation till date. Where wireless communications company Ericsson usually deals in products meant to be unseen, it has taken a different approach with its new Capsule cell site, and designed a mobile broadband base station that is meant to be seen without standing out.
Even though mobile broadband coverage is in increased demand, property owners and communities are often less than thrilled to have cell towers erected near their homes and places of business. Companies have tried to make the giant towers less obtrusive by hiding them in fake foliage, or in creative architecture, and in urban areas, they’re frequently put up wherever there is free space. Sometimes they put it on high skyscrapers, but nothing served the purpose.
Ericsson has devised an all-in-one mobile broadband tower that can be set up in less than 24 hours which is designed to be either as noticeable or as un-noticeable as its surroundings demand. Earlier, similar setup of a BTS used to take days, I have seen one of them being planted on the top of my building for several weeks (including testing)
Ericsson launched its first Capsule site today.
