Telecommunications leaders MTN and technology group Huawei launched a first LampSite indoor coverage solution at Lakeside Mall east of Johannesburg.

The solution is set to enhance indoor network coverage and capacity of users resulting in an improved customer experience around indoor areas especially shopping centres around South Africa.

"In order to create ubiquitous high-quality mobile broadband network, operators need to enhance the user experience and obtain competitive service differentiation," Edric Chu, Director of Huawei MTN South Africa said.

The solution supports high-capacity requirements and allows multiple consumers to access high-speed internet access.

Furthermore, the solution will provide ultra-high speeds of 3G and 4G internet experience within the retail shopping centres.

According to MTN's General Manager for Radio planning and optimisation, Krishna Chetty: "LampSite indoor coverage solution caters not only to commercial spaces,  but also stadiums, hospitals, office parks, airports and other venues, thus greatly improving communication for all."

The LampSite solution is easy to manage, stable and supports a variety of devices.

During the live network test, peak download speeds in the mall reached highs of up to 72 Mbps.
