 HUMAX Networks' smart antenna alignment solution, OCRA, supported a field trial using its Robot Arm (RA) for Vodafone's network automation efforts.
The trial was carried out in a specific area of Tirana, Albania, characterized by a dense concentration of shopping centres.
In this deployment,
Vodafone's AI-based solution analysed on-site, real-time network conditions to identify the best orientation of the antennas, and the robot arm then precisely adjusted the antenna angle in the required direction based on this analysis.
OCRA consists of an Optical Compass (OC) and a Robot Arm (RA). The Optical Compass precisely measures the antenna's azimuth angle to determine its orientation, while the Robot Arm remotely adjusts the antenna angle with fine-grained rotation and tilt adjustments, allowing the antenna to be precisely aligned in the desired direction.
An optional OC Controller (OCC) is also available when conditions make it necessary for communication between OCRA and Operator’s server.
In this way, OCRA supports network operators by reducing the burden of field dispatch and operations while enabling flexible responses to changing traffic conditions in environments that require network optimisation.
OCRA continues to expand its global business through demonstration projects across a range of environments, including high-traffic areas, and this network automation field trial with Vodafone, utilizing the robot arm, serves as a representative example of that expansion.
HUMAX Networks is pleased to have contributed to Vodafone's network automation efforts through this field trial, and will continue to broaden the potential of OCRA through future demonstrations across diverse environments.
