Distributed Antenna Systems
The ability for cellphone users to communicate at all times and from all locations inside a building – that’s the promise of a Distributed Antenna System (DAS).
Vision Technologies, with a long history of providing in-building wireless solutions, is uniquely qualified to help design, deploy and deliver 24/7 mobile connectivity through the installation of a Distributed Antenna System (DAS).
Our team of RF experts engineer and deliver passive, single carrier systems as well as sophisticated multi-carrier Neutral Host solutions.
Carrier Coordination
Securing wireless carrier permission and coordinating between multiple wireless carriers is a critical component of any successful DAS system.
To facilitate coordination and approval, and maximize the volume of wireless connectivity, Vision has forged strong relationships with all the major carriers.
Carrier Funding Models
The market for carrier (WSP) funding is changing and has become more challenging, however opportunities do exist.
The deployment of cellular infrastructure for multiple WSPs with a joint or cooperative funding model is complex, and requires a thorough understanding of the technology, legal structure, contract requirements, WSP budget restrictions, WSP deployment protocol and standards.
Vision understands this complexity and the need to develop a strategic carrier plan around each project. Our approach and strategy is designed to meet the goals of all invested parties.
What is DAS?
A Distributed Antenna System is a network of antennas spread throughout a building and connected to a source module to provide expanded wireless service in any given area.
DAS solution technology ensures a massive signal boost without having to modify construction plans, risk code-compliance or cellular connectivity.
Gone are the days when employees are forced to wander the building in search of a cell signal.
A Reliable Solution that Performs
Vision’s team of professional designers, engineers, project managers and service/installation technicians are uniquely qualified to deliver a DAS solution that will ensure:
- Increased productivity
- Enhanced reception in office buildings, parking garages and airports
- Enhanced collaboration
- 24/7 connectivity
- Secure, high-speed cellular access
Typical DAS Uses
Distributed Antenna Systems are perfect for challenging environments that require specialized wireless solutions.
Healthcare
Hospitals and healthcare personnel depend on reliable 24/7 wireless networks that deliver comprehensive coverage throughout the campus, from interior exam rooms and waiting rooms to support facilities.
Weak or inconsistent wireless signals may lead to a break down in vital communications, a drop in patient care levels, and reduced medical personnel performance levels. Ultimately, when efficiency suffers, the patient experience is adversely affected.
Corporate Offices and Campuses
Whether an office campus, a busy manufacturing facility or a high-rise building, robust and reliable wireless communications are critical to successful day-to-day operations.
As a trusted advisor to building owners, property managers, tenants and wireless carriers, Vision has the know-how to facilitate a reliable, made-to-measure, DAS solution.
Hotels, Stadiums and Arenas
Large public facilities are challenging environments for wireless communications. The design parameters are often required to support the high data volume of over 100,000 users in a single location.
A well-designed DAS solution can provide the required wireless coverage for large crowds that would normally overwhelm an otherwise adequate wireless deployment.
Government
DAS is a perfect solution for government buildings where the extensive use of concrete and steel cause cell signal loss.
Trusted Partner
As a trusted partner, Vision Technologies has successfully completed Active and Passive In-building Cellular and Public Safety DAS installations for an industry-wide spread of facilities ranging in size from 25,000 to over 1 million square feet.
