Why is in building coverage important?
In-building coverage plays an important role in third generation networks while attracting and retaining mobile subscribers. It is found that greater data capacity and the ability of third-generation networks to provide high-speed data services increases the demands put on cellular networks.
How does WiFi work in a building?
Here’s how it works, you create a structured network of data cables from the location your main router is, to strategically located points throughout your building. These points then have special WiFi devices connected to the data cabled network, called Wi-Fi Access Points and they send and receive WiFi signals.
What is the difference between small cell and DAS?
With small cell, each individual node has a single power supply. The cells work on their own, unlike DAS where all antennas connected to a remote function as one unit. DAS is also more versatile, able to support several frequencies whereas small cells can only support one or in some cases two.
