Public Safety Demonstrations

The Star Solutions team has participated in a number of Public Safety industry demonstrations and conferences in 2016. If you are interested in seeing our deployables in action, contact our team and let’s see how we can help you out!

The PSCR team in Colorado leverages our deployables to help set up demonstration or temporary networks to showcase public safety broadband networks at work. They discuss deployables recently in a NIST blog entry, the “Rapidly Deployable Public Safety Research Platform” is powered by our deployable system and showcases potential users how enabling broadband can be reliable and easy!

Earlier in May our team supported the XPSLTE 2016 event hosted by Firstnet Colorado. Here’s a recap video that the Firstnet Colorado team posted recently.

Sunwave Signs Development Partnership with Star Solutions

Sunwave Communications, a specialist in Digital DAS technology has recently concluded negotiations with Canada’s Star Solutions to co-develop a Thin-RAN appliance, to complement its CrossFire platform.

Munich – December 14, 2015 – The buzz in the DAS and Small Cell community in recent months has been about Cloud-RAN (C-RAN), but there is an equally strong case for a compact software defined Thin-RAN approach to DAS deployment strategies, where LTE radios of any 3GPP band, FDD or TDD, are dynamically assigned to meet end-user capacity needs.

With sustained resistance to evolve from Remote Radio Head topologies to a multi-operator, multi-technology DAS Remote Unit topology, the adoption of CPRI connections between Baseband Units and Digital DAS head-ends is a long term objective for most cellular operators.
