Can You Hear Me.Indoors?
Have you ever walked into a building and noticed you have "no bars" on your cell phone? Radio frequency (both radio and cellular) signals are greatly reduced when passed through dense building materials such as concrete and metal. Many cities are writing wireless ordinance codes (similar to sprinkler requirements) in order to guarantee proper communication in buildings for public safety during an emergency. This problem was evident during 9/11, when first responders were not able to effectively communicate inside the World Trade Center towers.
The solution is the use of in-building systems, often known as "Signal Boosters", or Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), that bring wireless signals from outside the structure, amplify the signal and then evenly distribute that signal throughout the structure. This is a complex engineering issue that requires proper analysis and installation. Day Wireless has the skill to handle your requirements.
Applications include:
- Underground parking structures
- Large buildings
- Tunnels
- Sports stadiums
- Shopping malls
- Schools
Benefits include:
- Safety of first responders and tenants
- Improved productivity
- Improved customer service
- Increased revenue from tenants
Recent installations include:
- Hydroelectric dam requiring signal throughout the many levels and compartments of the structure.
- Metro parking garage needing cellular and public safety coverage for municipal and tenant requirements.
There are two types of signal boosters that are manufactured, both with different benefits to meet your needs. Class A boosters, or "Channelized" units amplify only a single channel, or specific selected channels within an RF spectrum. Class B boosters, or "Broadband" units, amplify all channels that fall within the desired band.
Recommended Manufacturers:
- Dekolink - Manufacturers Class A channelized, and Class B units.
- TXRX - Manufactures Class B broadband units.
- Aerial Facilities Ltd - Makers of custom and specialized systems.
