The need for IBS
We rely on being connected through our cell phones. Yet 80% of all mobile traffic is generated indoors, notwithstanding WiFi. Today, ensuring ubiquitous, uninterrupted connectivity presents significant challenges for the service providers. This includes movement within a building, which often leads to mobile signal drops that can leave subscribers dissatisfied.
Walls keep signals out, and cellular connectivity has needed help in all scales of buildings no matter in urban or suburban areas for over 20 years. In-Building Solutions (IBS) is the name of this help.
Today, millions of buildings around the world need to bring cellular signals inside. Midsized buildings, in particular, have been massively underserved. All this is growing the IBS market—fast.
IBS coverage
IBS has long since saturated highly visible public venues like airports and stadia. However, a highly functional, easily installable and affordable solution for the middle market has never appeared—until now, with Zyxel.
