Low E Glass
Low E Glass reflects or absorbs IR light (heat energy) AND radio waves, causing major inbuilding wireless coverage problems.
Drivers in Healthcare
78% of Americans expressed interest in mobile health (Harris Interactive & CTIA)
In 2013, mobile health monitoring was one of the 10 most popular mobile
applications (Gartner Research)
Clinicians are early adopters of wireless devices like smartphones and tablets

DAS in Action
Case Studies
DAS network covers 800,000 sq. ft. to serve stadium holding up to 50,096 fans
DAS extends coverage to entire facility: upper/lower deck seating, all back-ofhouse area, locker rooms, press areas, concession stands and parking
6 sectors, expandable to 14
Designed to -65 dBm to overcome the existing macro network and ensure
coverage throughout
University of Iowas campus is the second largest city in Iowa and was challenged with
wireless coverage and capacity issues
DAS network provides 95% coverage for 13 buildings and approximately 3 million square
feet

Measured in dBm
-85 dBm is the typical threshold
Lower dBm ( e.g.

Demand Drivers
Carrier Coordination
Repeater VS BTS
The Cellular Repeater Is it Dead?
As carriers require higher levels of dependability and
capacity
New technology can no longer be driven over the air
Carrier Coordination
Necessary to obtain permission from wireless service providers

Public Safety
Carrier Coordination
The Federal Communications Commission released a new order for use of Enterprise DAS amplifiers
(repeaters or signal boosters)
February 20th, 2013, FCC Report and Order 13-21
Maintains that signal boosters require an FCC license or express licensee consent to install in commercial
and industrial space
The authorization process ensures that devices are operated only by licensees or with licensee consent
and are adequately labeled to avoid misuse by consumers
