JCDecaux, a leading outdoor advertising company, has been recognised in the category of ‘Small cell technology and deployment enablers’ at the awards ceremony of the Small Cell World Summit held in London recently.
 
The jury commended JCDecaux's ability to develop intelligent and aesthetic solutions for integrating small cells into the urban environment while facilitating the involvement of cities and local operators, said a statement.
 
The jury also praised the diversity of technological collaborations initiated by JCDecaux as well as the group's role in bringing together various players for the development of connected street furniture.

Since 2014, technical cooperation with Alcatel-Lucent and Huawei, the agreement with Vodafone and the deployment of 4G transmitters in Amsterdam's bus shelters have contributed to the development of an ecosystem that supports improved urban connectivity, helping drive the formation of ‘Smart Cities.’
 
Jean-Charles Decaux, co-chief executive officer, said: "We are delighted to receive this award which recognises our teams' expertise in the aesthetic integration of small cells into our street furniture, providing cities and telecom operators with an efficient and comprehensive solution that is in tune with the urban environment.

“This recognition gives us even more energy and creativity to provide cities with innovative and accessible solutions for the greater benefit of mobile citizens." - TradeArabia News Service
