DAS key to cellular reception issues, says In-Stat report

THE PLETHORA OF NEW mobile devices and data-rich applications has forced mobile operators to consider new ways to create capacity and ensure the quality of their wireless signals. According to new research from In-Stat, distributed antenna systems (DAS) can bridge several key areas in cellular coverage.DAS represents a versatile indoor/outdoor approach for mobile transport by routing radio frequency signals through fibre or copper cabling from a single base station to multiple antennas located throughout a building or through antenna nodes. In the report Distributed Antenna Systems Worldwide—DAS to Fill In Gaps, In-Stat found that 15,000 new nodes were deployed in...
