What is a Distributed Antenna System (DAS)?

A DAS is an infrastructure that distributes wireless signals from a central source to multiple antenna nodes across a geographical area or within a building, improving coverage and capacity for mobile devices.

Where are DAS systems typically used?

DAS systems are commonly deployed in large venues like stadiums, airports, hospitals, corporate campuses, and tunnels to ensure robust cellular and public safety radio coverage where traditional macro networks struggle.

What are the main benefits of implementing DAS technology?

Key benefits include enhanced signal strength, improved data speeds, increased network capacity, reduced dropped calls, and better public safety communication, especially in high-density areas.

How does DAS differ from a small cell?

While both improve coverage, DAS is a system that distributes signals from a central source, often supporting multiple carriers. Small cells are miniature base stations with their own processing, typically serving a smaller area for a single carrier.
