Lausanne mobile radio installation: modernization with precision from the air

An exciting project to modernize the city's mobile communications infrastructure is currently underway in Lausanne. The existing Lausanne mobile communications system is being dismantled, relocated and brought up to the latest technical standards. Logistical precision, technical know-how and innovative methods are coming together. All of this is taking place during ongoing operations.

Careful dismantling of the existing system

The first step involves dismantling the three antenna sectors that were previously installed on existing masts. In addition to the antennas, this also includes all radio equipment, supply lines, cable routes and lights. Each component is professionally dismantled, documented and prepared for reconstruction.

Helicopter deployment as a central element

A particular highlight of this project is the targeted use of a helicopter. It enables the antennas to be lifted onto a temporary scaffold and the old masts to be removed from the structure at the same time. This airborne method is fast, efficient and particularly suitable for urban locations that are difficult to access. It allows the installation to be carried out precisely and safely without causing excessive damage to the surrounding area.

Technical upgrade for more performance

With the relocation, the Lausanne mobile base station will also be technically modernized. New energy and fiber optic cables will be installed to significantly improve the system's performance. The mobile network will thus be brought up to date and will offer noticeably better transmission quality for users in Lausanne in future.

Stable supply during the entire construction period

Despite the complex conversion measures, mobile coverage in Lausanne remains guaranteed throughout. This is possible thanks to precise planning and implementation in which all work steps are optimally coordinated. The population will hardly notice the work, but will benefit from the improved infrastructure in the long term.

A project with a view to the future

The modernization of the Lausanne mobile radio system is not just a renewal of a technical system. An infrastructure is being created that is geared towards the needs of the coming years. The combination of innovative implementation, robust technology and uninterrupted operation shows what future-proof solutions can look like today. Efficient, well thought-out and at the service of the city.
