With this project, metro passengers will have full 5G mobile signal coverage both in stations and on trains, with internet access.
The purpose of the pilot project is to ensure continuous and uninterrupted signal coverage in the specific section of Line 2, including the five (5) stations and the tunnels between them and to select, based on the relevant measurements and analysis of the systems, the optimal implementation solution for all the remaining metro stations of Attica on lines 2 & 3, which will follow.
The Alimos station will act as a central interconnection station (HUB) for the entire pilot project with the backhauling networks of the three mobile telephony companies, exclusively new generation optical fibers. The indoor coverage of the station will be done through the installation of three indoor coverage systems, in order to evaluate the optimal technology, which will be selected for the coverage of the remaining stations, based on the measurements and the results of the analyzes that will be carried out in Alimos.
Intrakat is expected to complete the pilot project within the first half of 2023.
