🚇 ESB has been awarded the Lisbon Metro project, supplying DAS equipment from manufacturer SOLiD and passive ESB equipment as part of a major technological upgrade of the network infrastructure.
📶 This ambitious project provides full 5G coverage throughout the Lisbon Metro system, ensuring that passengers benefit from faster, more reliable, and efficient connectivity while on the move. The initiative represents a significant step forward in omproving the daily digital experience of thousands of users.
🌍 5G remains on the top strategic priorities for operators across the EU. The development and implementation of value-added projects and innovative solutions will continue to be essential to improving the daily lives of citizens and supporting business growth across Europe.
As Alejandro Fuster, Director of Engineering and Projects at ESB, explains:
💬 “For us, integrating legacy bands together with 5G bands in the same headend was a real challenge. We achieved this successfully thanks to the new SOLiD nGENESIS platform.
📡 ESB has supplied equipment to provide coverage across all four Lisbon Metro lines for four major operators: ALTICE, NOS, DIGI, and VODAFONE.”
💬 “We appreciate the trust of our customers and all parties involved in such a complex project with international relevance. Without a doubt, for ESB, this is yet another example of the great team we have and what we are capable of offering.”says Alfonso Aguiriano (CEO at ESB).
⚙️ Deployment highlights:
• 📶 4×4 MIMO 5G capacity at platforms and stations using low-power remotes with integrated antennas
• 🔄 2×2 MIMO in legacy bands (700/800/900/1800/2100 MHz) supported by high-power equipment
⭐ We are especially proud of the positive feedback received from operators, highlighting:
• The ease of commissioning
• The robustness of the equipment
• The outstanding experience delivered to end users
🤝 At ESB, we remain committed to partnering with operators and infrastructure owners to accelerate 5G deployment and deliver high-performance connectivity solutions that create measurable value for businesses and communities.
