Distributed Antenna Systems

Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) are key within modern workplaces, where building materials (steel, concrete, glass, insulation, etc.) and the very structure of the building itself have a tendency to block wireless signals. A well-planned DAS design and installation helps optimize cellular performance and reliability by strategically placing antennas throughout a facility.

OUR DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEM TURN-KEY PROCESS

From survey and design to coordination and installation, Teladata oversees every phase of DAS projects. Our expert project management and vendor coordination ensure a seamless process and a project outcome that exceeds expectations.

DAS Design

Teladata can evaluate and validate DAS designs created by trusted third-party integrators and coordinate directly to ensure designs are pre-approved with carriers. We provide valuable insight and guidance based on our knowledge of the project, our wireless planning survey, and our experience with workplace technology implementation projects. We can offer DAS design assistance as needed to extend cell signals to your project site from carriers like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, private providers, and more.

DAS Services Overview

Our Approach

We manage a third-party integrator to provide a turn-key Cellular DAS to extend cell signals to your project site. This service includes Site Survey, Design and Deployment to develop a system that meets your budget, performance, and timeline.

Step 1: Survey

We work with your team to survey new and existing sites to assess all the required infrastructure (equipment power, space, cooling, cable pathways/risers). This includes an on-site spectrum analysis to understand carrier coverage in the area to inform the design.

Step 2: Design

We offer design services to understand if a Donor (no Carrier involvement) or Non-Donor (Carrier involved) system will be required. Then, we finalize onsite active equipment, cabling/pathway and interior/exterior antenna design requirements to create a design construction drawing set.

Step 3: Deployment

After design approval, we manage the third-party DAS installation companies and coordinate with other trades to integrate and fully commission the Cellular DAS system. This ensures that design standards and performance criteria are met throughout construction.

Distributed Antenna Systems FAQs

A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is a specialized network solution that strengthens wireless signal coverage by strategically placing small antennas throughout a space.

The strategically placed antennas used in DAS amplify and extend signals, ensuring reliable coverage in challenging areas, such as underground levels, stairwells, enclosed offices, and other hard-to-reach locations.

The primary purpose of a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is to extend and enhance cellular signal strength, capacity, and reliability within buildings and large facilities that may struggle with inconsistent or weak cellular coverage.

This is especially useful for large buildings and facilities, including office buildings, entertainment venues, stadiums, retail centers, airports, hotels, hospitals and healthcare centers, and educational institutions.

An essential phase of DAS installation, DAS design is the strategic planning and placement of a distributed antenna system to ensure optimal wireless coverage and performance within a facility. Generally, the DAS design process includes site surveys, signal testing, and selecting the right DAS type (active, passive, or hybrid) and signal source (e.g., off-air, small cell, BTS). Trust Teladata with your DAS Install.

Deciding whether to install a DAS for your business depends on several factors. In many large buildings and complexes, traditional wireless networks may struggle to provide stable coverage, leading to slow data speeds, congestion, and dropped calls—all of which can impact employee, client, and customer satisfaction. If your business is experiencing these challenges, it may be worth looking into DAS design and installation.

By investing in a tailored DAS solution, you can capitalize on long-term benefits, including improved network performance, enhanced productivity, and a future-proof solution that ensures reliable connectivity for years to come.
