Latin America. Wireless connectivity is increasingly essential in high-performance 4G, 4.5G networks and imperative for 5G networks and IOT demands.
As the world moves towards the implementation of mobile wireless technologies such as LTE advanced (4.5G) and 5G, buildings will need wireless systems to provide strong coverage and capacity, once the demand for high-density data is a given.
Wireless connectivity is increasingly essential in high-performance 4G, 4.5G networks and imperative for 5G networks and IOT demands. While mobile operators have implemented these systems in large places such as stadiums and airports, they have downplayed the importance of financing for companies, so they have had to implement them themselves.
Distributed antenna systems (DAS) are the primary means of enabling wireless coverage and capacity (multi-band and multi-technology) within buildings and while they have traditionally been too complex and expensive for most enterprise deployments, new types have recently emerged that suit the needs of businesses.
A DAS consists of a main header or hub that connects to the RF signal source(s), intermediate hubs that distribute the signal, and remote units that transmit the signal through the structure. In most cases, they use coaxial cabling as transport for the signal, and because the RF signal is attenuated over long distances, the system must be configured, adjusted, and optimized for effective performance on each remote antenna.
"To this day, every DAS deployment has essentially been a personalized effort, with a system specifically designed for each location," said Luciano Adami, DCCS South America at CommScope. "In addition, most traditional DASs use a specific type of remote unit for each frequency to be supported, complicating deployment and optimization in systems that support multiple frequencies, as most do."
