TWC 2012 interview: Axell Wireless CEO Ian Brown on the new enhanced repeater
Axell Wireless launched its revolutionary enhanced repeater in conjunction with Airwave at TETRA World Congress 2012 in Dubai, along with a number of other products.
The big news from Axell Wireless at TWC 2012 in Dubai was its partnership with UK public network operator Airwave to produce an enhanced repeater that will help to reduce the cost of building and operating networks.
‘We have long relationship with Airwave dating back 15 years,’ says Axell CEO Ian Brown. ‘We deployed hundreds of repeaters and coverage devices throughout the Airwave network in the UK, so we have a very close technological relationship as a result of that. Axell engineers support their network in the field.’
Enhanced repeater
The enhanced repeater provides extra capacity, wider coverage and lower costs, especially during network rollouts or technology refreshes. Axell Wireless has supplied the core technology for the enhanced repeater, while Airwave has brought its design and network operational experience to the product.
Axell Wireless CEO Ian Brown tells Wireless the thinking behind the product. ‘We are looking at how we can help lower the operating costs of PMR networks. One way to do that is to have fewer base stations. But to do that you need to find a way to extend the coverage of your existing technology.’
