How Integrated RF Transceivers Enhance DAS or Repeater Indoor Connectivity (Download)
Given advances in wireless technology and the transition from 4G to 5G networks, traditional distributed antenna systems (DASs) or repeaters have inherent challenges such as radio interference, signal attenuation from walls and other structural materials and elements, compliance with the latest building codes, fire safety, costly and difficult upgrades, and lack of scalability.
Interference in populated buildings, large stadiums, and concert halls typically comes from co-channels, electrical noise generated by a variety of electrical equipment, signal reflection and refraction, and crosstalk. Building walls (including concrete materials, metals, electrical cables and even air) can attenuate and weaken wireless signals before they reach their intended receivers.
