The newly constructed A-Grade commercial office building represents a landmark in Brisbane’s business district, integrating modern infrastructure with industry-leading sustainability initiatives.

Madison Connectivity (MC) partnered with SDF Electrical to design and deploy a carrier-compliant and cost-effective DAS solution, ensuring timely and budget-conscious delivery.

In addition to enhancing in-building mobile connectivity, the developers sought to achieve best-practice environmental performance, targeting NABERS Energy 5.0 stars and NABERS Water 4.0 stars.

The challenge

With a gross building area of over 25,000 sqm across 12 levels, 31 Duncan Street required a DAS solution that could efficiently support multiple carriers while accommodating the architectural and environmental requirements of the build.

The project was further complicated by its execution during construction and fit-out phases, necessitating careful coordination with other trades and site operations.

The solution

A passive DAS SISO (single-input single-output) solution was selected as the most suitable approach, fully aligned with MCF2018 guidelines. This system included 120 passive antennas strategically deployed across all 12 floors, including below-ground levels, ensuring consistent carrier-approved coverage throughout the building.

Passive DAS solutions are the preferred choice for buildings of this scale due to their cost-effectiveness, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

The results

MC successfully delivered the project on schedule, providing a comprehensive handover to SDF Electrical. System testing confirmed that the passive DAS met all performance and carrier requirements, ensuring seamless, high-speed, and secure mobile coverage.

The building’s tenants, including anchor tenant Urban Utilities, immediately benefited from the robust mobile connectivity, enhancing workplace efficiency and communication reliability.
