Expert services
Network operators’ operations are governed by strict standards, and each repeater system and in-building antenna network must meet the requirements set in them before the network system can be commissioned.
Signal and coverage measurements
Before the final plans are prepared, we conduct signal measurements to determine spots with no coverage and the locations where antennas should be positioned. If it is not possible to carry out coverage analyses, we perform coverage simulation by modeling the system as precisely as possible.
Modeling
Before construction, the radio network must be designed and modeled to achieve the best possible symmetry and coverage on indoor premises. The design is precisely marked on the floor plan. By following this procedure, we can achieve an efficient antenna network, while taking into account radio signal blocking and absorption by high spaces, wall materials and reflecting surfaces.
Link budget analysis
Good design is based on careful calculation of losses and gains, with the aim of achieving the most efficient and trouble-free system possible.
Design aesthetics
In design, Bandercom’s philosophy is that even the most efficient and high-powered system must be elegant in appearance, and in some cases even invisible. Our goal is to deliver a system that gets a thumbs up from both client and the end user.
When the developer is a network operator, we provide all consulting services related to construction directly to the operator.

3. Realization stage
At the realization stage, the entity planned earlier is built and realized. Most of these services can be supplied to developers and contractors, depending on the distribution of responsibilities and consulting and contract restrictions.

Services supplied during construction
Bandercom offers an extensive selection of high-quality active devices and passive components to ensure a cost-efficient and comprehensive solution. Our antennas, cables, connectors, and passive and active components have been carefully selected for their excellent quality and cost properties.
Services supplied during realization:
Measurements related to the antenna system’s transmission lines and the antenna circuit
- return loss measurement (S11 parameters)
- DTF measurement, reflection factor measurement/S11 as a function of distance
- PIM measurement and analysis services
- spectrum measurements for antenna networks, at operating frequencies with a separately agreed resolution
- spectrum measurements for VIRVE uplink antenna circuit
- isolation measurements between the indoor antenna system and the VIRVE donor antenna (at the VIRVE frequency range).
- Computer-assisted coverage measurements
4. Commissioning stage
Commissioning encompasses a test run and testing of the system. This stage is followed by the handover of the system. Most of these services are intended for developers or contractors, depending on the distribution of responsibilities.
