This post is the first article from "5 Phases of DAS Deployment".

Here are the 4 types of DAS financing models.

In this post, we will learn about different milestones & phases relevant and important for DAS Project Management.

By understanding the categories of materials and where (i.e., locations) these materials will be installed, construction will become a lot more logical to you.

This is a quick overview of deployment processes a team has to go through to deploy a DAS. There are basically 5 phases of DAS deployment.

DAS 1.0 was all coax DAS, DAS 2.0 was a mix of fiber and coax. DAS 3.0 is all fiber DAS, and this is the next generation of DAS.

A multi-carrier DAS can process signals from multiple radios with multiple frequencies. So for example, if a multi-carrier DAS is built to work with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon - it will work with phones from all of those operators.

There are a lot of different types of DAS platforms in the U.S. market from a handful of manufacturers. This does not mean that there are not other manufacturers.

Signal Source is not really part of DAS. But without signal, DAS will not work. So let’s talk about RF Signal Source or RF Source for short.

We talked about the common components of a DAS 2.0 system and in the last post we introduced RF Signal Source. It’s time to bring them all together and create the core architecture of DAS 2.0. Following is a simple description of the architecture of a DAS 2.0.

Let’s go over few of the common components of DAS 2.0, before we talk about the core architecture. There are 5 different common components that can form a DAS plumbing system:

1st generation DAS or DAS 1.0 was just coaxial cable based, and the DAS would be powered by a signal booster or repeater (an electronics that repeats or boosts signal).

I will use a lot of terms and acronyms in this website and I will define them as we go through the materials. However, some of the words or phrases I will use more frequently than others. I want to go over those frequently used terminologies and the context they are used before we dive into the materials.

Article #3 from Publishing RFP for DAS series. Probably the most information you need to provide to the bid participants for the ROM process.

Article #4 for the series 'Publishing RFP for DAS project'.

Easiest way to look at these players or companies is to group them at a high level by their function.

Article #2 of the series "Publishing a RFP for DAS". We are trying to short-cut the process; so, does it make sense to do an actual design? It depends on how big is the design.

Article 1 of the series. Here we will discuss what goes into Request for Proposal (RFP) created from Rough Order Magnitude (ROM).
