DAS Solutions
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) offer a technology agnostic solution for multiple operators simultaneously. One of the critical requirements for any in-building solution is to minimize the aesthetic impact on the venue.
Today, dedicated venue owners may struggle to ensure their patrons have a quality wireless experience while not deploying too much hardware in their buildings, which would hinder the aesthetic appeal. The best way to strike that balance is to offer a neutral solution to multiple operators providing a higher quality of experience without being unsightly for patrons.
Considerably smaller than traditional or cell tower counterparts, DAS systems are the better option for congested, high-volume locations. In addition to taking up less space than traditional cell towers, DAS networks tend to provide better network coverage. Finally, Wi-Fi cannot penetrate through buildings made of heavy-duty materials like steel and concrete, but DAS networks neutralize this problem with multiple antennas, making them the best and most viable option in buildings with thick walls and multiple levels.
DAS coverage is most beneficial to:
- Hospitals
- Schools
- Malls
- Hotels
- Office buildings
Although no two active DAS installations are the same, a typical deployment is driven by a direct connection to a radio base station, donor macrocell, or baseband unit. Often, multiple RF feeds are combined and then passed to a master distribution unit, which then feeds remote units via various media, including fiber, 50-ohm coax, or twisted pair.
Ventev offers a complete ecosystem of solutions for DAS systems, supporting everything from enterprise and public safety to warehouse connectivity. In addition, these solutions are compatible with most major access points (APs) and radios.
