The rise of 4G services is dictating a new radio network architecture for mobile operators. Rather than relying on macro cell sites operators deploy small cells that bring capacity closer to the end customer. One way to bring capacity closer to the end user is to deploy a network of distributed radios, essentially small base stations that are placed on utility poles or buildings. More
Businesses are rapidly migrating to 4G mobile services, and the challenge is to ensure strong and consistent 4G service throughout the enterprise facility. More
New technology trends are in motion to help organizations extend cellular coverage and capacity inside their buildings to meet today's exploding wireless traffic demands. More
We tend to think of DAS systems as indoor solutions for enterprises and large buildings. But recent announcements from TE Connectivity reinforces the possibilities for DAS in outdoor carrier installations. More
While small cells were busy stealing the show at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, TE Connectivity was holding forth that DAS will remain an important component of the wireless coverage equation, as it presented enhancements of its InterReach and FlexWave Prism DAS product lines. More
In a different take on the hybrid cellular coverage trend, TE Connectivity and ip.access are marrying small cells with DAS networks. The two companies showed off a proof of concept prototype at the Barcelona's Mobile World Congress and promised product availability later this year. More
Small cells were a hot topic this week at Mobile World Congress. TE Connectivity’s John Spindler (News - Alert) says distributed antenna systems are an integral part of the small cell discussion because of their capacity, efficiency and flexibility. More... More
Taking the small cell solution a step further, TE Connectivity and ip.access today announced the world’s first all-digital integrated Distributed Antenna System (DAS) and small cell. More
ip.access Ltd. and TE Connectivity (NYSE: TEL) have combined a small cell with its own distributed antenna array (DAS). This comes the week after ip.access revealed a combo LTE and 3G small cell. More
The cloud concept involves sharing centralized resources over a network. In the mobile networking world, urban DAS deployments bring cloud-based network resources to subscribers and mobile operators. More
Carriers are accustomed to providing their own, discrete infrastructure for mobile services, but the need to increase the number of base stations by 300-500 percent to support LTE is causing them to rethink infrastructure deployment choices. More
While 3G users may get coverage in the exterior-facing offices of a building, those farther inside the building often have poor coverage. Distributed antenna systems (DAS) are a means of addressing those issues. More
TE Connectivity (TE) today announced that its InterReach Spectrum distributed antenna system (DAS) now supports 2x2 multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) mode for Advanced Wireless Service (AWS) frequencies of 1700 and 2100 MHz. This new development now means that TE’s DAS products support multiple frequencies in MIMO mode, including not only AWS but also 700MHz and 1900MHz. More
