Overview

When thinking of major cities in Denmark, Copenhagen usually comes to mind first. However, Aarhus, located 187 kilometers northwest of Copenhagen, is the country’s second biggest city and has become a key destination for many reasons. It is not only the largest city for industry, services and trade on the Jutland Peninsula, but it also is one of the top 100 conference cities in the world and home to Scandinavia’s largest university, Aarhus University. Furthermore, in 2017 it was named by the European Union as the European Capital of Culture, a great honor that has elevated the city’s visibility and profile on an international scale. This vibrant metropolis is also the second fastest growing Danish city. To accommodate this rapid growth, Denmark’s second largest city offers the best in housing and wireless performance four residential and/or mixed use developments initially with fifteen buildings have been constructed in the Aarhus area. These buildings offer it all to their residents, from underground parking and beautiful city or water views to expansive recreational areas and robust mobile communication. Traditionally, residential complexes have depended upon the outdoor macro tower to provide cellular coverage and capacity. However, the RAN host, Stofa, knew to ensure powerful and cost-efficient wireless connectivity across these four developments a DAS (distributed antenna system) would be required. Working with system integrator, KM Telecom, they decided to deploy the C-DAS (centralized DAS) offering from global wireless innovator, JMA Wireless. This multi-band, multi-carrier offering is an iteration of JMA Wireless’ popular DAS solution that has been deployed around the globe.
