It’s time for you to take DAS 101

A distributed antenna system (DAS) is helping service providers and enterprise customers prepare facilities for the arrival of 5G. So, what do you need to know about DAS? In this blog, Todd Metcalf explains this technology and encourages you to check out the on-demand webinar he participated in with Graybar.

2018_CommScope_Graybar_G2Talks_DAS_webinarHow much do you know about a distributed antenna system (DAS)? If you are new to this technology, a DAS is a network of low- and high-powered antennas distributed throughout a building or campus. They are deployed to improve indoor and outdoor cellular network performance.

A DAS helps overcome physical barriers like low E-glass, concrete walls and other barriers that degrade wireless signals and make it hard to get high-quality mobile service indoors. A DAS can also provide the additional network capacity needed to meet growing mobile requirements.

Recently, I participated in Graybar’s webinar series—G2 Talk—to teach attendees about DAS basics and how to prepare their facilities for the arrival of 5G technologies.

The webinar covered:

If you weren’t aware, CommScope’s award-winning Era solution is an all-digital C-RAN architecture that reduces the physical head-end footprint by as much as 90 percent, for major space, power and cost savings. In the webinar, I covered the topic of network convergence and 5G support and explained why a digital platform is going to be necessary to provide the architecture and bandwidth needed to support future technologies.
