Is your In-Building DAS Cell Coverage Future-Proof or Future-Ready?


Modern-day buildings are rife with concrete, insulations, and thick weather-proof glasses - In short, everything that degrades the performance of your in-building wireless connectivity. Thankfully, technologies such as Distributed Antenna System (DAS) or Small Cells and Repeaters come to our rescue. But if you think of DAS, nothing beats the revolution that it has brought in to the world of in-building wireless connectivity. Yes, it is true. A DAS can drastically improve your in-building cellular connectivity. But is your DAS future-ready? Future-Proof? Don't get us wrong - Most DAS today are future-proof. But what do you get when you're sold...

Outdoor DAS (oDAS) vs. Indoor DAS (iDAS): Systems Deployment Service

What is a Distributed Antenna System (DAS)? A DAS (distributed antenna system) consists of a network of antennas that offer comprehensive wireless cellular service for an area, structure or building. DAS technology was developed to address problems with mobile connectivity faced by many building owners. How Does DAS Work? Active DAS consists of a wide network of antennas that are connected to the base station using fiber, ethernet and coaxial cabling. These antennas collect the signal from the participating carrier network, send it to the base station where the signals are enhanced and then redistributed through all rooms of the...

What are Dish/ Grid Parabolic Antennas for Cell Phone Signal Boosters?

A cellphone signal booster system typically use an outside antenna to pick up the cellular signal from the nearest cellular tower. This signal is then sent to the booster via cable, where it is amplified before being distributed inside of the building or vehicle through inside antenna. The power of outside antennas is measured by its “gain”. Gain shows the reach and strength of the antenna’s signal. Antennas with a higher gain will transmit more powerful signals from cell phone towers. There are two types of outside antennas used with cell phone signal boosters – omnidirectional and parabolic dish antennas. Omnidirectional...

Passive Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Annunciator (NFPA 72 & 1221)

Jul 27, 2018

Passive Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Annunciator (NFPA 72 & 1221)

The SureCall Guardian 4 public safety signal booster fully complies with the NFPA-1221 and NFPA-72 standards. It now also has full support by the DAS annunciator. This DAS alert panel is a Public Safety Distributed Antenna System (DAS) annunciating or monitoring panel (model 1221-B). The DASalert annunciating panel is a BDA NFPA alarm alert system that provides a host of benefits to building managers and first responders. This DAS alarm also gives them up-to-the-minute status awareness of the public safety configurations inside a building, including following factors: The status of the charger. The capacity of the backup battery. The status of the...

Enterprise DAS: Commercial Building Distributed Antenna Systems

As an owner or manager of a multi-tenant building, office tower, hotel or shopping mall, mobile connectivity may be your top concern due to repeated complaints. You may have this sinking feeling inside of you whenever an employee, tenant or customer complains about not getting a strong cell signal inside the building. If this goes on for too long, you have a mutiny on your hands(!) There're many reasons why you're not getting a proper signal. It could have something to do with the low-E film on the windows. That might have transformed the building into a massive Faraday Cage....
