Meriden, CT, February 8, 2022 – Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), a global designer and manufacturer of total-package solutions for wireless and broadcast infrastructure, today announced the launch of a comprehensive portfolio of connected city solutions to deliver total wireless coverage in dense urban environments.    

The Urban Based Infrastructure (UBI) architecture brings together a full range of connectivity solutions and services to give MNOs, neutral hosts, and enterprise customers the reach and coverage necessary to deliver a range of connected city applications. RFS offers a complete service delivery that takes care of all aspects of the connectivity to underpin connected city deployments, from poles to the cables, antennas, and filters needed to minimize interference and optimize real-world performance. In particular, this enables municipalities to work with RFS as a single infrastructure partner to deliver the comprehensive coverage needed for an effective and efficient connected city. 

Alongside existing RFS solutions including the industry leading RADIAFLEX cable, which delivers coverage in challenging environments including over 40% of metros worldwide, RFS has launched new smart poles to enhance street level coverage in cities. The smart pole is a modular system which supports a range of connectivity standards from public safety, to 4G, 5G, WiFi, mmWave and backhaul via microwave or fiber. This allows today’s connectivity needs to be served while leaving open the possibility of future modular upgrades to protect investments and offer a robust, futureproofed ecosystem.  

The UBI solutions include smart poles in a wide range of configurations with the features and services to bring our customers’ requirements to the street.

  • High-capacity poles for 8-12 radios. Smaller configurations available.

  • mmWave radios
  • Wi-Fi 
  • Security cameras and call buttons
