✦ Synopsis

Discover how to design, deliver, and implement high-density communications solutions

High-Density Smart Campus Communications: Technologies, Integration, Implementation and Applications delivers a concise synthesis of the deployment technologies, strategies, and implementation issues that arise in the design and application of real-world high-density communications environments in airports, stadiums, convention centers, shopping malls, classrooms, hospitals, cruise ships, and more.

You'll learn future-oriented strategies for the implementation of next-generation Wi-Fi and 5G communications networks in high density environments, like smart airposrts, advanced airport robotics, and wayfinding. You’ll also discover effective deployment strategies using a comprehensive case study based on a top-10 airport deployment by the Slice Wireless team.

The book includes information about security requirements, large and boutique solution providers, applications, unbundled services, implementation planning and design, as well as operations and network management. An epilogue written by Josie Jo-Anne Dressendofer of Slice Wireless concludes the text. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:

• A thorough introduction to background and functional requirements for high density communications, including requirements for airports, stadiums, convention centers, classrooms, train and subway stations, and smart cities
• An exploration of traditional voice and cellular technology, including DAS designs and architectures and microcellularization
• Practical discussions of traditional data and Wi-Fi, including throughput/interference and security
• A treatment of evolved hotspot connectivity, including Wi-Fi and 5G

Perfect for telecommunication researchers and engineers, networking professionals, technology professionals, campus administrators, and equipment vendors, High-Density Smart Campus Communications will also earn a place in the libraries of senior undergraduate and graduate students in applied communications technologies.
