Deployment Case Studies

Representative project outcomes from recent RFS antenna and RF system deployments.

Telecom — Southeast Asia

5G NR Macro Deployment: 1,200-Site Rollout

A Tier-1 mobile operator in Southeast Asia required 5G NR coverage across a metropolitan area of 8.4 million subscribers within a 14-month timeline. RFS supplied 3,600 multi-band sector antennas (698–3800 MHz) with integrated RET and AISG 2.0 control. The project achieved 99.2% first-pass acceptance rate on PIM testing at -153 dBc threshold, avoiding an estimated 280 hours of re-work compared to the operator's previous vendor benchmark. Deployment was completed 6 weeks ahead of the regulatory coverage deadline.

Defense — North America

Tactical Communication Antenna Qualification

A defense systems integrator required a wideband omnidirectional antenna (225 MHz – 2.5 GHz) qualified to MIL-STD-810H for vehicle-mounted tactical communication. RFS completed the full electromagnetic design, prototype fabrication, and environmental qualification cycle in 11 weeks. The antenna achieved VSWR ≤ 2.0:1 across the 10:1 bandwidth ratio while withstanding MIL-STD-810H Method 514.8 vibration profiles at 7.7g RMS. Three pre-production units passed all acceptance tests without design revision.

Enterprise — Europe

Stadium DAS Coverage: 65,000-Seat Venue

A European venue operator required in-building distributed antenna system (DAS) coverage supporting 4G, 5G, and public safety bands across a 65,000-seat stadium. RFS provided 840 low-PIM ceiling-mount antennas and 12 multi-band combiners, achieving measured PIM levels below -150 dBc across all bands. Post-installation drive testing confirmed 98.7% of measurement points meeting the ≥ -95 dBm RSRP target, enabling simultaneous 42,000 active device connections during peak-attendance events.
