Turnkey Solution for Enhanced Connectivity
The Pivotal Turnkey offers an end-to-end solution to delivering fixed wireless access (FWA) households, presenting an alternative to traditional fibre deployments. With a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – ranging from 25 percent to 35 percent of the cost of fibre – and reduced time-to-revenue, Turnkey has become an attractive choice for MNOs seeking efficient broadband solutions, according to Pivotal Commware.
The turnkey solution includes Pivotal’s network planning tool, WaveScape. This tool optimizes the placement of network elements, including the Pivot 5G network repeater, to achieve specific coverage objectives. Additionally, Pivotal’s cloud-based Intelligent Beam Management System (IBMS) ensures effective network management and optimization for the repeater network layer.

Streamlined Deployment Processes and Virtual Visualization
Pivotal Commware said over the past two quarters its team has made significant advancements in streamlining the go-to-market cycle time, reducing it by 50 percent. Furthermore, WaveScape’s new bulk optimization feature enables faster network design and propagation modelling, further expediting the deployment process.
According to the statement, city officials can now visualize the placement of Pivots, Pivotal’s mmWave repeaters, in a virtual reality setting. This feature allows them to envision the infrastructure in various real-life scenarios and from different perspectives, addressing visual aesthetic concerns.
