Why DAS?
Coaxial DAS
Precision Design
Active systems ensure optimised signal strength and uniform distribution.
Applications
DAS systems excel in environments where consistent indoor coverage is essential:
- Commercial Buildings
Ensuring smooth communication for employees and clients. - Hospitals
Providing life-critical connectivity for healthcare staff and devices. - Shopping Centres
Supporting shoppers and businesses with robust signals. - Transport Hubs
Delivering reliable connections in airports, train stations, and bus depots.
What is Traditional DAS?
Traditional coaxial DAS are designed to enhance cellular signal coverage in large or complex environments, such as office buildings or stadiums. The system uses a central unit, typically a base station, that connects to multiple antennas distributed throughout the space. These antennas are connected to the central unit via coaxial cables, which carry the radio frequency (RF) signals between the source and the antenna locations. The antennas help to evenly distribute cellular signals, ensuring that mobile devices receive strong coverage even in areas with poor signal penetration.
Coaxial DAS relies on a centralised architecture where the signal is sent through the coaxial cable to each antenna, often resulting in significant cable runs and a more complex installation process. The system typically requires a large amount of hardware, including repeaters, splitters, and amplifiers, which can drive up costs and require more physical space for installation. The use of coaxial cables also limits scalability and flexibility in future upgrades, making it less efficient for expanding coverage in rapidly evolving environments compared to newer, more modular systems like fibre-based DAS.
DAS installations can be done in greenfield (new) and brownfield (existing) buildings. When approaching a DAS project, it is important to consider the building and the current technology available to complete the project. Our team offers industry-leading software, combined with considerable technical experience, to help partners develop solutions that meet carrier needs and align to the MCF requirements.
How We Support DAS Projects
As specialists in supplying large-scale traditional DAS projects, we partner with Electrical Contractors, Facilities Managers, and Developers who design and install in-building communications systems aligned to the MCF, carrier requirements and best practice.
With a collaborative and partner-first approach, we help specify the best solution for every project our partners take on, drawing on our significant expertise and industry insights. This ensures a fantastic future-ready system, every time.
