Active DAS is the most powerful cellular enhancing solution available. It significantly improves cellular coverage and capacity inside high-traffic buildings over 500,000 sq ft, leaving dropped calls and unreliable data in the past.
Active DAS receives cellular signals directly from desired carrier(s) via base transceiver stations (BTSs) or small cells. Cellular signals are converted to digital and transmitted across fiber optic cables, enabling longer cable runs with little to no signal loss. Remote units convert the signal back to cellular for distributed antennas to broadcast.
Turnaround time for an Active DAS depends on how long it takes to get the approvals needed from your desired carriers.
Approvals must be obtained from each carrier whose coverage you’d like to improve in your building. This can take a minimum of 6 months per carrier.
Yes. With Zinwave’s wideband, future-proof equipment, it's easy to expand and integrate new technologies after initial setup without disrupting regular day-to-day operations.
Active DAS receives cellular signals directly from the source. Thus, approvals from desired carriers are needed to install an Active DAS. Active components are used to deliver a strong signal across large areas with little to no loss.
Passive DAS receives cellular signals off-air from cell towers. An amplifier is used to boost received signals to improve indoor signal strength and coverage. Passive components are used for this setup. Approvals are not needed to install a Passive DAS.
Compared to Passive DAS, Active DAS offers superior results.
Active DAS connects directly to the signal source and uses active components for signal distribution. Approvals are needed from each desired carrier for installation.
Our Hybrid DAS solution, on the other hand, uses passive elements to amplify off-air cellular signals and active elements distribute them throughout your building. Since Hybrid DAS utilizes off-air signals, approvals are not needed for this setup.
We offer Zinwave installation services for many different industries. Our Active DAS solutions are a perfect fit for:
