IN-BUILDING WIRELESS: 
4 ADVANTAGES OF A CELLULAR DAS

80% of calls and data sessions are initiated indoors


Poor cellular connectivity is a widespread problem inside many buildings and facilities. Most often, disruption is due to the construction material used in buildings. Metal, concrete, and Low-E glass can all reflect cellular and radio signals, resulting in low signal or dropped calls. Additionally, the immense amount of data required by numerous users can drastically slow down or interrupt cellular performance. A cellular distributed antenna system (Cellular DAS) is an optimal solution to improve the wireless connectivity inside your building. This article will look at four reasons you should consider having a Cellular DAS installed in your building. 


1. CONTINUOUS CONNECTION
Building occupants (and everyone else in today’s society) both need and expect to have reliable wireless coverage. A cellular DAS is an in-building wireless system that helps boost cellular reception inside a structure using a network of small antennas that function as cellular repeaters. A constant robust signal is guaranteed because these antennas operate in a building’s interior (rather than outside). In short, a cellular DAS ensures that all occupants have access to complete network strength at all times.

2. PRECISE COVERAGE
 Because the antennas of a cellular DAS function inside a facility, technicians install them in strategic locations determined by testing. This practice allows the system to distribute robust and continuous coverage to the entire building, including areas where the signal degrades due to building materials (i.e., parking garages, stairwells, and basements). 

3. EXCELLENT NETWORK SPEEDS
Slow network speeds and interrupted service can disrupt the delivery of goods and services, frustrating clients and negatively affecting a company’s reputation. Because cellular DAS coverage is robust and evenly distributed, overall network speeds operate at maximum performance. Blazing fast network speeds allow businesses to promptly take care of their clients, ultimately boosting the company’s bottom line. 

4. ACCESS TO MULTIPLE CARRIERS
Another fantastic advantage of owning a cellular DAS is the ability to allocate network strength from multiple carrier networks throughout your building. Building occupants are guaranteed strong coverage regardless of their cellular carrier.
