ARQ specializes in the complete End-to-End Turnkey DAS deployments designed to support multiple wireless service providers.
What is DAS?
A Distributed antenna system (DAS) is a network of antennas, connected to a signal source, distributed throughout a structure in order to improve network coverage and bandwidth availability. The antennas are arranged in such a way that full coverage is provided with minimal overlap, minimizing the number of antennas required to cover the entire area. The power consumption is generally lower than if attempting to use one large antenna to provide the same coverage.
Why DAS?
DAS networks are the perfect solution for clients looking to extend their mobile wireless coverage throughout a building, venue, or grounds. DAS increases the reliability of data connections, and improves overall capacity to serve a greater number of mobile users, enhancing customer satisfaction.
If the need is to eliminate coverage deadzones in a complex structure, handle many simultaneous users at large events, or prevent dropped calls or data buffering in a congested environment, DAS is the answer.
Benefits of DAS networks
Multiple carriersThe network can support signals from more than one cellular carrier, ensuring that users can get connected no matter their provider.
Multiple frequency supportWith support for 3G, 4G/LTE, 5G, etc., DAS ensures that users enjoy connectivity no matter what their mobile device supports.
High connectivityA DAS solution is capable of serving thousands of connections.
Deployment flexibilityDAS antenna nodes can be deployed both indoors and outdoors, thanks to their compact nature.
Lower power consumptionDistributing the signal between multiple antennas introduces efficiencies that can lower power usage compared to a single antenna or other solutions.
Central power supplyAll nodes share the same power supply, simplifying deployment and maintenance.
Single backhaul connectionAn entire DAS network requires only one backhaul connection, reducing complexity and costs.
Nodes function as a single large cellAll connected antennas offer the same carriers and frequencies, ensuring consistent service throughout the coverage area.
