Enterprise scenarios Sample Clauses

Enterprise scenarios. The enterprise deployment scenarios are generally indoor, premises-based deployments, which include, medium/large enterprise office buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, hotels, apartment blocks, government buildings, factories, underground facilities, campuses, as well as, partially open facilities, such as, stadiums [SCF2013]. To that end, enterprise scenarios may be closed access or private enterprise deployments (e.g. as part of the enterprise IT infrastructure in office buildings), or open access or public enterprise deployments (e.g. targeting customers in shopping malls). In both of these scenarios, indoor small cell deployments provide improved in-building coverage compared to outdoor base station deployments whose RF signals are attenuated when propagating from outdoor through building walls and windows. The indoor small cells are also better positioned to provide the capacity needed in usually crowded enterprise areas. The new services enabled by small cells also provides enticing value propositions for enterprise owners who look to enhance the productivity of their employees or the experience of their visiting customers with edge cloud and context-driven services (see example of Figure 9).
