In the digital era of rapid development today, the communication network is just like the nerve vein of society, supporting efficient transmission of various kinds of information. As the core hub of the communication network, the quality and efficiency of the communication room construction directly influence the stability and coverage of the communication service. Unceasing evolution of communication technologies continuously puts higher demands on miniaturization in communication equipment, intense development of a station building way, and friendliness to the environment. It is under such a big background that outdoor pre-cast framework GRC brick and concrete machinery house came into being, thus becoming an optimal solution to constructing a new generation of standardized, modular communication machinery houses in an intense way.
First, the problems of traditional communication room construction
(1) Area and location problems
The general business convergence room needs an area of more than 20 square meters, while investigating various cities, it is found that the suitable site meeting this area in the urban area is extremely difficult to find. Especially in the CRAN deployment area, such as universities, subways, high-speed railways, large business districts, etc., although the communication demand in these areas is strong, there are fewer mature new buildings, and it is difficult to build a self-built computer room, the location area is very limited.
(2) The problem of mains supply
The normal operation of the computer room requires a stable mains supply, which generally requires the mains to reach the third class and the introduced capacity to reach 15kW. However, most of the purchased computer rooms are transferred to the power supply of the residential room in reality, and the power capacity cannot be effectively guaranteed, which undoubtedly lays a hidden danger for the stable operation of the communication room.
(3)Construction period is long.
The construction of a traditional computer room is designed from the outset, with decoration and building work crossing over into the construction of five major systems, making the engineering more complex. It generally takes as long as 2 years for the whole construction process; such a long construction cycle seriously restricts the rapid deployment of CRAN and cannot meet the needs brought about by the rapid development of communication services in a timely manner.
(4) the investment cost is high
During the construction of traditional computer room pouring, a great deal of investment is needed for equipment, templates and cement, so the labor costs are also enormous, which makes investment costs of building computer rooms very high; this increases communication construction cost as well as the economic burden associated with it for communication operators.
(5) The defect of the tradition brick machine house and color steel plate room
The traditional brick machine room, which has not only high cost and big energy consumption but also a series of problems: long construction time, large occupation area, easily causing obstruction while constructing. Moreover, in the process of later moving, it is a waste of time and labor; what’s worse, it is unable to reuse, which causes a serious waste of resource. The color steel board room has certain advantages in the construction speed, while in the anti-typhoon corrosion resistance, thermal insulation, and anti-theft performance, there are a lot of shortcomings, and its short service life is difficult to meet the requirements for long-term operation of the communication room.

Second, innovative solutions for outdoor prefabricated frame GRC brick concrete machine rooms
(1) Customized services to satisfy the diversified demand
The product specification of the outdoor prefabricated frame GRC brick-concrete machine room is strictly designed according to the standard of the communication machine room. Meanwhile, it is highly customized and can be flexibly configured according to the specific needs of customers. Whether it’s about key supporting facilities such as a power supply, battery, air conditioning, or booking different quantities according to different model requirements, that can meet a customer’s diversified needs accurately. It will serve as an individually tailored “home” for customers’ communication devices.
(2) Quick Installation: It drastically reduces the delivery period.
Factory prefabrication and integral transportation: The machine room adopts the mode of factory prefabrication of machine room keel frame, which can be transported to the designated place for construction after fine processing in the factory. This kind of industrial production mode greatly improves the production efficiency and reduces the time and complexity of site construction.
Intensive construction and pre-configuration: realize intensive construction, and can configure cable rack, grounding bar, lighting, AC distribution box according to Party A requirements before leaving factory. The move avoids the troublesome process of secondary scheduling construction for Party A, which cuts time for delivery greatly and thus makes communication rooms be put into use more quickly.
(3) Excellent performance ensures stable operation
Excellent thermal insulation performance:
About the heat insulation, the exterior wall faced prefabricated framework GRC brick-concrete machine room has good performances. According to requirement, FRP or steel plate can be installed on the outer layer of equipment room, and polyurethane sandwich board used for heat insulation. The thermal conductivity is less than 0.024W (m.k); it effectively avoids heat transfer, always keeping the temperature inside the equipment house appropriate to create a good environment for the stable operation of communication equipment.
Excellent waterproof and seismic performance:
The machine room’s roof is made with a monolithic structure while the wall was constructed using bricks. Such type of design gives its overall strength, ensuring its insulation performance at the same time. Its seismic intensity can go as high as 8 degrees. The protection class is IP55. Thus, this shelter would easily withstand severe weather conditions: strong typhoon or earthquake; good waterproof function secures safe running even during bad weather.
(4) The site selection for the construction is flexible to suit all kinds of situations.
Site selection of the machine room construction can be very flexible. In fact, according to different sizes of a machine room, design can be done on-site in any particular situation. It could be some narrow corner of the city or even some complicated area of the terrain-the corresponding installation scheme could always be found out, which actually enlarged the construction scope of the communication room greatly and also could meet different scenario communications effectively.
(5) Economical use of cost and space:
Within the same area, the outdoor prefabricated frame GRC brick-concrete machine room can maximize space utilization. In contrast to the purchase of commercial houses for use as computer rooms, it has obvious advantages in cost and space utilization. It not only reduces the construction cost but also improves the efficiency in the use of space, bringing higher economic benefits for the communication operators.
With excellent performance in solving the problems of traditional communication room construction, good performance, and flexible customized services, the outdoor prefabricated frame GRC brick and concrete rooms have emerged as an innovative choice for the construction of communication rooms. In the future, with the continuous development of communication technologies, it will play a more important role in constructing communication networks and provide a solid guarantee for enjoying high-speed and stable communication services.
