In the in-building wireless connectivity world, progress is often viewed through the lens of enabling pervasive data connectivity for all employees working in a particular building at a given time. However, the impacts of building automation, and IoT in general, will have a potentially greater impact on in-building networking requirements going forward. As AI/ML-fueled automation […]

Recently, CBRS and shared spectrum solutions have become the darling of the in-building wireless world. At a simplistic level, CBRS is envisioned to use standardized LTE technology propagated over unlicensed, or lightly licensed spectrum to build private wireless networks that can be managed either by an MNO, neutral host, or, even a tenant within a […]

While DAS is essentially a prerequisite for equipping large venues with robust in-building coverage, it remains true that most commercial real estate buildings fall below the size threshold where DAS is an economically viable option. In these cases, wireless coverage has largely been left to the macro-cellular network. To this end, if there is a […]

Although refrains such as “DAS is dead”, and referring to new in-building wireless technologies as “DAS killers” have become fashionable, both phrases are used more as clickbait than actual market analysis. In fact, when it comes to making in-building wireless more robust to meet the demands of the IoT and/or Industry 4.0 eras, DAS will […]

According to a survey conducted by the Mobile Sports Report in 2016, nearly 90% of venues surveyed indicated that they had deployed at least a partial DAS, and 75% of the venues surveyed indicated that they had some level of Wi-Fi coverage present. However, while these two stats might indicate that in-building wireless connectivity issues […]
