In a previous blog post, we discussed several points of failure in a DAS. One of the points of failure was damage to coaxial cable or antenna, and we classified these damages as a major point of failure. If the coaxial cable connected to an antenna or the antennas itself is damaged, the antenna may stop broadcasting and disrupt the signal.

If you are planning for an Enterprise DAS for your building or campus, there are a few factors you need to consider. This article falls somewhere between a checklist and an abbreviated collection of recommendations that can guide you in your DAS journey.

We usually consider an upgrade project fairly easy – especially if we are going to just upgrade the current system to a new one. However, that’s not how it turned out for a major healthcare campus DAS upgrade project we are currently working on.

Why can't we get cheaper DAS options from the Internet?

CBRS has 3 tiers of users with 3 different priorities. Information transaction, therefore, needs to be constantly orchestrated or coordinated.

Once the DAS is built and the customer starts thinking about the maintenance program. A common question that comes up is about the points of failure for a DAS. Knowing these points helps customers design effective DAS maintenance processes.

Our customers sometimes want to know the price of a DAS by square footage. Square footage price works in a lot of cases, but there are several limitations to produce such numbers for DAS projects and it can be misleading. We advise against it.

When iPhone 11 was released many fans were upset that it was not going to support 5G. What was the big deal and why should we care what Apple does? Because…

Public Safety communication revolves around the signal needed for the first or emergency responders.

First responders must be able to communicate with each other during the time of crisis.

Carrier RF Source Installation is not part of the DAS deployment activities. However, in the some of our past projects we had to track the progress of carrier activities for installation RF Sources.

Let’s go through the steps of Closeout package - note that you don’t have to follow the order of these steps

The 5 step process is to make sure your solution is available when you need it most. Don’t put yourself at risk by not having a working DAS

Let’s get into the DAS Construction milestones.

Discussing a DAS commissioning & integration milestone process.

In this post, we will go through the milestones of Survey and Engineering process.

In this post, we will talk about high level steps of commissioning and Integration.

Close-out package or as we lovingly call COP is basically a collection of all deliverables from the first 3 phases.

Following are some high level guidelines for setting up maintenance for DAS.
