The European Football Championship is just around the corner and Germany is preparing for an event that will not only make fans' hearts beat faster, but will also pose a logistical challenge for the organizers and mobile network operators.
Thanks to the innovative tools from PreHCM Services, such as application management (PreHCM EMF), radio field calculation (PreHCM WW Cluster), the antenna management system (PreHCM AMS) and PreHCM Mobile frequency allocation, all 10 venues were able to get through the BNetzA approval process smoothly, enabling the events to be held seamlessly.
For the first time, the European Football Championship 2024 will focus on mobile ticketing. This is also a challenge for the organizers and mobile network operators that should not be underestimated, as fans will only receive tickets via the mobile app. A robust and efficient mobile communications infrastructure is an absolute must, especially when the various stadiums are completely sold out:
Spielstätte EURO 2024
Volksparkstadion Hamburg (Capacity: 49.000)
Olympic Stadium Berlin (Capacity: 71.000)
Arena AufSchalke Gelsenkirchen (Capacity: 50.000)
BVB Stadium Dortmund (Capacity: 62.000)
Leipzig Stadium (Capacity: 40.000)
Düsseldorf Arena (Capacity: 47.000)
Cologne Stadium (Capacity: 43.000)
Frankfurt Arena (Capacity: 47.000)
Stuttgart Arena (Capacity: 51.000)
Munich Football Arena (Capacity: 66.000)
The PreHCM EMF from PreHCM Services proved to be extremely helpful for the smooth running of the run-up to the European Football Championship with regard to the issuing of antenna site certificates. This tool is used to coordinate and process all necessary applications and permits for the commissioning of radio installations to ensure that communication during the tournament runs smoothly and complies with legal requirements.
With the help of the PreHCM WW Cluster tool, the watchtower method is used in the application process, which allows an exact calculation of the radio field in the immediate vicinity of the transmitting antennas. It therefore enables location certificates to be issued in places where these would be denied using the standard application procedure. This procedure is particularly suitable for venues where antennas can be placed quite close to the audience. It proves that all limit values are still reliably complied with.
Another PreHCM Services tool will play an important role at the 2024 European Football Championships: the PreHCM AMS. The PreHCM Antenna Management System delivers the required parameters of the antennas installed in the stadiums directly to the next PreHCM tool. The media-interruption-free application process is essential for the smooth execution of events.
In addition, the PreHCM Mobile frequency allocation of PreHCM Services supports the efficient use of the available spectrum for the provision of mobile services. The intelligent allocation and management of frequencies ensures optimal network performance, even in busy areas such as the European Football Championship venues.
Overall, PreHCM Services GmbH plays a crucial role in making the European Football Championship experience an unforgettable event. By providing innovative technologies and reliable services, PreHCM Services ensures that the public can enjoy the can enjoy the tournament to the full, whether in the stadium, on the road or at home in front of the screen.
