In Building Coverage:

RNS have recently been selected by a major South African operator to design, supply and implement In Building Coverage solutions for the next two years. Up against established vendors the RNS package and design capability won through, "this is a very significant step in the expansion of RNS into the South African market" says Neil Nordgaard, Technical Sales Director of RNS. Although we have been designing and installing solutions in other African countries such as Nigeria, Uganda and Kenya for several years its nice to be recognised locally states Nordgaard.

Macro Interference solutions:

A new approach to an old problem RNS deployed specialised sites in down town Kampala to reduce macro interference and improve indoor and street level coverage. Basically we replaced the Roof top panel antennas with Tri-Band two port Omnis +- 10m off street level. These could be fed with Multi-band Radio Heads or existing rooftop sites. Feedback so far is very good in both reducing macro interference and improving indoor and street level system performance.

Lord of the Rings:

The design team at RNS have recently been seen tunneling under Johannesburg with test and design equipment strapped to their backs, I feel like a Hobbit was one comment heard on a regular basis. Our RF expertise has enabled us to design and install a trunk radio system for the use of the operators of the Gautrain. The Fibre and Leakey feeder solution will be installed in the next few weeks in the yet to be completed tunnel from Sandton to Parktown. Kudos to RNS for successfully competing with international companies for this prestigious project.
