Through dmwi, Visban will contribute its millimeter wave repeater technology and V-Mesh, a system of orchestrator-controlled repeaters linked in a multi-hop configuration over RF-on-Glass, and take part in demonstration experiments and technical verification.","whyItMatters":"Docomo's dmwi framework now has a partner whose multi-hop repeater system targets the coverage and deployment cost problems that keep millimeter wave confined to dense urban and industrial sites.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eMillimeter wave carries the wide bands that 5G uses for high-speed, large-capacity links in dense urban areas, large facilities, industrial applications, and fixed wireless access. Its short reach and sensitivity to buildings and walls make coverage expansion difficult, and deployment costs are an issue.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVisban\u0026#39;s V-Mesh links multiple orchestrator-controlled repeaters in a multi-hop configuration using its RF-on-Glass technology, with an AI orchestrator adjusting each repeater to network conditions. The company says the aim is to expand coverage while minimizing large-scale additions of base stations and optical fiber.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Visban's V-Mesh is a multi-hop repeater network running RF-on-Glass. Joining NTT Docomo's dmwi puts that hardware in front of the carrier's millimeter wave rollout instead of a standalone pitch.","twitterPost":"Visban's RF-on-Glass repeater mesh now goes into NTT Docomo's dmwi trials, not a standalone pitch.","threadsPost":"Visban's contribution to NTT Docomo's dmwi is V-Mesh, a multi-hop repeater network over RF-on-Glass. That matters because millimeter wave coverage is the problem carriers keep hitting, and Visban's pitch is hardware that extends it rather than a new radio standard.","newsletterBlurb":"Visban has joined dmwi, the millimeter wave initiative launched by NTT Docomo.
