Distributed antenna systems (DAS) have become common, but what if network capacity could be distributed where it is needed most? What about when the capacity needs of a carrier change? What about inside-out DAS coverage of arenas and adjacent areas and in multi-building venues? DAS operators have begun to want smarter technologies that would allow… Continue »
Typically, before a DAS signal goes from the base band unit (BBU) to the DAS headend, it must first go through a remote radio head and an attenuation panel. This requires a lot of equipment at the headend, as well as power and space. TE Connectivity and Alcatel-Lucent have developed a solution to solve this problem,… Continue »
