NTT DoCoMo said it expects to start deploying this new 5G antenna next year
Japanese telecommunications operator NTT DoCoMo has developed a 5G base station which is designed to be buried in the ground to support deployments in areas with a shortage of space, Japanese press reported.
The waterproof 5G base station is designed to be placed into a 70-centimeter-deep hole and then covered with reinforced plastic that allows the transmission of radio waves. NTT DoCoMo’s new 5G base stations will adjust the intensity and direction of the radio waves in order to not affect pedestrians, according to the reports.
