How it works: Distributed antenna systems

    168

    Many buildings are difficult to penetrate with wireless signals. For this reason, distributed antenna systems are a growing trend in wireless infrastructure.
    Through a network of small antennas inside buildings, DAS helps deal with spots of poor coverage inside buildings that towers and small cells can’t reach.

    For this reason, many large infrastructure companies are exploring DAS to help drive future growth. Network infrastructure powerhouse, CommScope, is one of those companies.
    In this edition of RCRtv’sHow it works,” CommScope SVP in charge of Wireless, Morgan Kurk, gives an in-depth rundown of distributed antenna systems.
