Coverage counts

The way modern society functions depends on reliable mobile coverage. Expectations are high today, and we all expect online access to be available at all times, virtually anywhere.

We are online all the time, and preferably on several different devices – smartphones, tablets, computers, watches and all the new devices or IoT configurations that will emerge in the coming years.

There are lots of obstacles

Modern buildings often consist of large amounts of concrete, steel and other materials that have a natural tendency to block signals. The special, energy-optimized construction methods now required in most modern buildings also tend to make signal access more difficult. Facades, cladding, interior constructions and fixtures often consist of complex combinations of specialized materials that are certainly not optimized for signal transmission.

Large, commercial buildings (and many other structures) are also typically equipped with large amounts of complex wiring, pipes, ducts, and HVAC equipment, often with large machinery rooms hidden away “behind the walls.” All of this can result in electrical interference, poor signal coverage, and “dead spots.”

In buildings where there are many people indoors at the same time, their unpredictable, concentrated patterns of mobile device usage within the same relatively small building area can also pose major practical challenges to the capabilities and capacity of any existing mobile network.

Indoor mobile coverage with DAS technology

Any wireless signal that the provider sends is only as good as the end user's experience, and only as good as the end user's paying customer perceives it. Customer satisfaction must match customer expectations

DAS systems are specially configured indoor antenna systems that are connected to services from one or more mobile operators. They are usually configured to work with any mobile signal provider – so you are not “locked in” to a specific provider.

Where?

DAS systems are the most cost-effective way to ensure the full value of the 2G to 5G end-user experience in locations where there are many people indoors at the same time, resulting in unpredictable, concentrated patterns of mobile device usage within the same relatively small building footprint.

DAS connectivity is the key to high-quality 2G to 5G services in locations such as offices, shopping malls, airports, exhibition centers, hospitals, hotels, sports arenas, bus and train stations, underground parking lots, subway/metro networks, tunnels, and countless other locations.

DAS systems are ideal for energy-efficient, thermally sealed modern buildings and structures with complex wiring, pipes, ducts, and HVAC equipment, or locations such as hospitals and other medical facilities where complex/critical electronics need to be shielded from electromagnetic interference.
