Ontix provides operator neutral solutions by working with property owners and managers to deploy small cell infrastructure in offices , conference venues , and other indoor spaces where mobile capacity is needed .
“ The demand for capacity is unrelenting . Ontix is at the forefront of providing the last few metres of connectivity to the end user ,” said Bradd who pointed out they are working with local authorities across the UK to deploy their infrastructure outside London and eventually into more rural areas .
“ In places like the centre of London it ' s difficult to provide the right amount of capacity needed by mobile network operators , so we work with local authorities to secure the rights to use their street assets to put our equipment on and sell that as a service to mobile network operators .
“ For someone standing in Trafalgar Square , their mobile phone is connected to a small cell that we ’ ve placed on a lamp post or the side of a building above street level . We are coming up with some very innovative solutions to hide equipment within lamppost casings . Councils are keen to work with us as they know the importance of connectivity for their towns especially when it comes to attracting business and tourism .
“ When we build small cell networks in towns , it is not only for the mobile network operators , but also to provide a neutral connectivity layer for smart city initiatives . We ’ ve deployed live smart city solutions ,
