SOLiD Introduces BARS™ for Enhanced In-Building Cellular Connectivity

SOLiD's BARS™ Solution Elevates In-Building Connectivity

In today's fast-paced digital environment, reliable cellular connectivity is essential, especially for smaller venues. SOLiD, a leading provider in cellular in-building coverage, has recognized this critical need and recently announced the launch of their SOLiD BARS™ solution. This innovative offering stands to revolutionize connectivity solutions specifically tailored for small to mid-sized buildings, commonly referred to as "Middleprise."

What is SOLiD BARS™?

The SOLiD BARS™ solution is designed to provide faster, simpler, and cost-effective deployments of in-building connectivity. By leveraging a Distributed Antenna System (DAS), this system addresses significant hurdles inherent in providing robust 4G and 5G coverage in smaller structures. This includes offices, schools, hospitals, retail locations, and various commercial venues that previously lacked the necessary in-building cellular signal to operate efficiently.

This new solution is particularly innovative due to its ability to simplify the delivery of enterprise-grade connectivity over readily installed Ethernet infrastructure. The compact and visually appealing remote units (RUs) can be strategically placed throughout a building to enhance coverage quality. With a single headend, the SOLiD BARS™ can support up to 40 RUs, thereby ensuring a wide coverage area while maintaining the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).

Features of the SOLiD BARS™ Solution

One of the standout features of the SOLiD BARS™ solution is its immediate deployment capability. Utilizing "off-air" signals from the nearest cellular tower, the system can deliver signal coverage right after installation, thus avoiding the time and costs typically associated with waiting for carrier-provided signal sources. Furthermore, it supports operations across three frequency bands per carrier, making it one of the few solutions compliant with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, specifically Part 20.

Becoming a vital asset for businesses, especially those with a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy among employees, the necessity for reliable cellular connectivity has never been more apparent. Many smaller venues simply cannot afford the intricacies and costs associated with a full-scale, carrier-grade active DAS system, yet they still urgently require dependable connectivity. This is where SOLiD’s BARS™ solution shines.

The Market Need and Advantage

In a world that is increasingly interconnected, the need for substantial in-building cellular coverage has surged, particularly in rapidly evolving fields like healthcare and education, where connectivity directly affects efficiency and safety. Small businesses, which are often regarded as the backbone of the economy, cannot afford to ignore their connectivity needs.

As Scott Deweese, president of SOLiD Americas, points out, "Backed by our strong reputation for quality and sustainability, the multi-operator BARS solution delivers pervasive, pre-approved cellular coverage for the best balance of performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness, making it the premier choice for the Middleprise."

SOLiD's BARS™ is set to provide these smaller venues with ease of use and manageability through its cloud-based network management system. IT departments, integrators, and third-party operators will find it straightforward to monitor and manage their connectivity systems efficiently.

Availability

The SOLiD BARS solution will be available exclusively through authorized distributors. Additionally, SOLiD will be demonstrating this groundbreaking system during the Mobile World Congress in Las Vegas on October 14-15, 2025, providing potential clients and industry stakeholders with a firsthand experience of its capabilities.
