Distributed Antenna Services
A distributed antenna system (DAS) is a system of several antennas and radio heads that provide wireless coverage to a building or buildings. In comparison to one antenna, a DAS provides more coverage, is more reliable, takes up less space, and uses less power. DAS use radio frequency (RF) signals and wireless amplified to increase the wireless signal.
What Do Distributed Antenna Services Provide?
DAS works both indoors and outdoors and provides the following services:
- Cellular distribution
- Wi-Fi
- Emergency responsiveness
How Do Distributed Antenna Services Work?
Cellular signals aren’t able to penetrate walls, especially in areas where there’s limited space for a traditional cell tower. A DAS installation places antennas around areas that have bad cellular coverage or just need more. Fiber optic cables transport the cell signal from the antennas to a communications hub and then a cellular base station processes these cell signals.
Why Are Distributed Antenna Systems Necessary?
Businesses that rely on traditional macro cell or cell tower networks often deal with suddenly interrupted cellular signal during a major event happening nearby. Major events such as concerts, sports games, and even local festivals can interrupt your signal. The more people in one area using their phones, the more likely your network will get overloaded.
However, a DAS is able to utilize a complementary network that will take on the extra traffic, which leaves more signal and bandwidth for your employees and customers.
