In brief
A navigation lock in operation: reinforced concrete and underground galleries where the outdoor signal does not penetrate. Claritech designed and installed a neutral-host DAS that brings all 4 mobile networks (GSM 900, one off-air donor sector for each) and the lock’s own professional VHF radio onto the same passive infrastructure, combined through a diplexer. The network feeds 57 service antennas across four zones - upstream and downstream, on both banks - including through the lock’s underground galleries, on 7/8” HELIAX trunks with runs of up to 100 m. The donor antennas are mounted on ballasted supports, with no roof penetration, sized for winds of 120-150 km/h. At the acceptance of the works, test phones measured levels of -65…-70 dBm GSM 900 inside the galleries.
