DAS Installations
An installation of the DAS system is a transformative investment in improving your business’s connectivity to meet the modern-day digital demands. A successful DAS installation involves a lot of planning, precision, and expertise. This blog outlines critical steps involved in DAS installations and underlines how they will assure a seamless effective wireless system for your facility.
Step 1: Site Survey
On-site surveying to assess your connectivity needs and determine the most appropriate system design marks the beginning of any installation of DAS.
- Initial Assessment: Measurements are made to find out how much space equipment would require and if that would be compatible with the infrastructure.
- Planning for Placement: In this stage, the placing of the transmitters and receivers in places is such that their reach gets maximized while interference gets minimized. The correct placement brings the best output and keeps any overlap between its parts.
This detailed survey lays the ground for the successful installation of the DAS system by taking care of all potential hurdles right at the start of the process.
Step 2: System Design and Permitting
Designing a DAS network is critical, which determines the efficiency and long-term performance of the system.
- Customized Design:
- The antenna gain is optimized for every channel to avoid interference that could hamper clear communication.
- Receiver placement is carefully designed around the building to maximize signal strength while reducing interference from other local transmitters.
- Permit Applications: Once the design is finalized, applications for all necessary permits are submitted for approval. This may involve working with local authorities with respect to meeting regulatory standards and fulfilling jurisdictional requirements.
Designing and permitting are crucial in understanding your building’s unique needs while following all legal standards of the DAS system.
Step 3: Installation of Hardware and Connections
Once the permits have been approved, hardware installation and establishing of connections will come next in your building.
- Hardware Installation
- Equipment are installed at strategically selected locations to work at peak performance.
- In-building DAS systems connect the hardware with data and voice lines to transmit the signal seamlessly to devices.
- Remote Units: These are the remote units, set up near the cell towers to connect the DAS with outside networks. These units act as a bridge between your system and the outside cellular network.
- Testing: Testing is the finalization of hardware installation and installation of connections; it ensures the system is up and running, calibrated for ultimate performance.
Key Factors for a Successful DAS Installation
A successful DAS installation requires more than just the right equipment; it requires a systematic approach and professional expertise.
- Team of Experts: Competent professionals with a background of offering customized DAS solutions.
- Structured Plan: Defined, deliverable-based timeline showing what is to be expected within each phase of the project.
- Seamless Communication: Collaboration between all parties involved to ensure transparency and adaptability across all the procedures.
