What are the components of DAS?

Просмотров 3278 лет назад

There are several components of every DAS system that are…that will…that every DAS system will have in common. First is the carrier signal, the cellular signal from the carrier that’s gonna be delivered to your building in one of two ways, you’re either gonna put an antennae on top of the building to capture the signal and bring it into an amplifier inside the building, or if it’s a large enoug...

Why would a company need DAS?

If you have employees that are using your mobile devices or their mobile devices in their everyday work and then they’re going to need good coverage in building because we rely on these devices more and more on these devices for not only voice and text but there are mobile applications such as salesforce.com, and perhaps industry specific applications that a company may have developed that empl...

What is DAS?

Просмотров 938 лет назад

DAS stands for distributed antennae system. It’s really a series of systems and services that allow us to take a carrier cellular signal or a public safety two-way radio signal from the outside of a building and bring it into the building to distribute it appropriately to the users inside the building.

What is the breakdown of our mobile user community by carrier?

Просмотров 98 лет назад

That’s a question we like to ask the customer. It’s very important to know that because that tells us which carriers we need to be supporting in the DAS. It also helps the customer understand what their user community looks like. It may give them some leverage when negotiating with a carrier. For example, if they discover that 90% of their 2,000 employees have Verizon handsets it may give them ...

What applications require a DAS?

Просмотров 118 лет назад

That’s one of the questions we like to ask, is what applications, obviously voice and texting is something that everyone is gonna want to do, but are there any other applications that are specific to your business that you want employees to be able use? And we ask that question for a couple of very good reasons number one is that the cost of the DAS is going to vary depending on the frequencies...

Просмотров 318 лет назад

The business values or the business impact for the DAS really depends on the industry. For example in hospitality the business impact for having the DAS is that your venue is more attractive to potential visitors. I used the hotel example earlier, without good coverage you’re not gonna have very many repeat customers coming back to stay at your hotel. In the university example having a very goo...

Do we need voice and data or voice only?

Просмотров 208 лет назад

We want to determine what carriers should we be implementing and also what frequencies within the carriers should we be implanting for the client. For example, if they tell me, and this...this is…we’re seeing this more and more now as companies want to offload mobile data onto the corporate Wi-Fi network, they only need voice or they only need text. If that’s the case then we can eliminate two ...

That’s always the key question, and probably the first one that we get asked, and the answer, it’s a little tongue in cheek, but it depends. Most of the customers that we are talking to are not going to have enough volume for the carrier to make the investment in the DAS. So the enterprise should be thinking about budgeting for the das early in their construction cycle, or early in their renova...

Просмотров 118 лет назад

The reason that’s a really good question is that a large part of the total cost of a DAS is the labor and material to actually install the fiber optic and the coax cable throughout the building. If we can catch the customer at the right time, and they happen to be implementing let’s say a fiber optic system for their Wi-Fi or their data network, then we can structure it in such a way that it ca...

Will a DAS system work for public safety 2 way radio signals?

Просмотров 828 лет назад

That’s a good question, yes, most DAS vendors do support public safety frequencies and the reason for that is in many communities now there are codes implemented, building codes have been implemented that require a new building or a certain remodeled building has to have public safety 2-way radio coverage in the building to the extent that it’s also available outside the building. And because o...

Who needs a DAS?

The ones that we see most commonly implementing DAS systems today are obviously the large venues so stadiums, universities, shopping malls where obviously you’re gonna a lot of different people and carriers all wanting access to their video and online applications and maybe they’re streaming music and so those are the ones that have most commonly implemented a DAS but because mission critical a...

In what section of the building do we need the most coverage?

Просмотров 118 лет назад

We ask that question because we want to know where in the building would be the ideal place to concentrate antennas. We find that out obviously by doing an RF survey we’ll know what sections of the building already have good signal and which do not. But I’ll give you an example, we had one customer that had an auditorium and they had roughly 3,000 employees, and there were two, three times a ye...

That’s another question we like to ask because if they can, if that is their policy, if they will allow employees using mobile devices to also use the enterprise Wi-Fi network those… that would translate to fewer frequencies we may need to support on the DAS, again resulting in lower costs for the customer to implement the DAS.

How do you communicate effectively to a carrier?

Просмотров 128 лет назад

You know what we’ve realized is that when we’re working on a DAS system for a client and we’re communicating to the carrier they often have several of these projects going at one time. So we try to be sensitive to their schedules, sensitive to the fact that we’re not…that we may not be their highest priority so we try to do as much of their work for them as we possibly can, the easier we can ma...
