Leading wireless solutions provider, Comba Telecom after being selected by etisalat to enable the Yas Mall with wireless mobile phone and data coverage that it has successfully implemented the multi-system, multi-carrier, in-building wireless system for mobile phone coverage at Yas Mall, at Abu Dhabi, UAE.
“Yas Mall has been offering complete telecommunications services to customers and tenants from day one,” said Steve Bunce, General Manager of the Yas Mall. “We recognise that it is imperative to our visitors’ retail experience to have quality mobile coverage throughout the whole of Yas Mall and we have installed a full data network installed throughout the mall to ensure that our tenants and customers have the ability to connect with ease.”
To express the management’s challenge in numbers: the mall, which spans 2.5 million sq. ft. of leasable space, is estimated to see 20 million visits within the first year of its full operation. Comba Telecom’s responsibility was to provide a full turnkey solution, which includes supply, design and supervision of installation of an end-to-end in-building wireless coverage system.
“In the era of big data, the use of mobile data is rapidly increasing, and its usage is far higher in this region than the rest of the world. Comba Telecom has enabled Yas Mall to ensure the best user experience for a large number of visitors, and technologies from 2G and 3G to the latest 4G LTE will be supported,’ said Mohamed Elkashif, Regional Operations Director of Comba Telecom.
“We’re confident that the signal coverage throughout Yas Mall will be good. We believe, through the advice of Etisalat and Comba Telecom, that this is a future-proof installation. It’s a fairly robust network that does not require much input from us,” added Bunce.
