“We found that the 227, with its small form-factor, was a perfect fit for this location because we only needed to direct the signal to a small radius in the town. We also had very limited mounting [space] on top of the water tower,
and again, the 227 was a perfect fit. We also like the non-line-of-sight
capabilities of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) product line.”

Connect More With Less
During the initial survey of Ambia from atop a water tower, Surf Air Wireless saw only trees. So they needed a product ideal for Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) connectivity, one that was compact, easy to install, cost-effective, and could target pockets of tightly clustered customers.
Surf Air Wireless deployed the Baicells Nova227 eNodeB (eNB) because it fit the location perfectly. With its small form-factor, NLOS capabilities, and integrated antenna, Surf Air Wireless found it easy to install on top of the town’s water tower. In addition, Surf Air Wireless found the Nova227 eNB’s low-cost-of-entry impressive. Additionally, Baicells CloudCore tied in nicely with their existing back-end hardware and billing platform.
