If your building requires multiple passive DAS solutions to improve cell signal quality throughout the interior and you’re not ready to invest the time or money to install an active DAS solution, a hybrid DAS solution may be the way to go.
What is Hybrid DAS?
A hybrid DAS uses active and passive components to cover a building with reliable cellular signals from one or multiple cellular carriers. The signal source is typically analog off-air cell signals captured by off-air antennas placed at the roof of a building, but small cells and/or base transceiver stations (BTS) can also be used.
In a hybrid DAS system, the analog Radio Frequency (RF) signal from the source is transformed or converted to a digital signal, which is then transmitted to different floors of a building interior. On each of these floors, a Remote Unit is installed. The transformed digital signal is distributed via coaxial Ethernet cables or fiber optic cables to the Remote Unit, which in turn transforms the digital signal to analog once again. The multiple antennas on each of the floors of the building receive the analog RF signal via coaxial cables and the elements of the system.
The versatility and adaptability of the hybrid DAS solution make it suitable for a range of industries and building environments—from corporate offices and factories to hospitals and college campuses. The hybrid DAS solution offers a spectrum of customization options so it can be tailored to meet the needs of specific interiors.
Hybrid DAS Installation Offers Many Advantages
1. Ease of Implementation – Implementing the hybrid DAS solution is a straightforward process, designed for quick deployment and minimal disruption to the building and the employees. Installing a hybrid DAS involves fewer roof penetrations and less cabling. Its user-friendly design and simplified installation ensure a smooth integration, so organizations can enhance their connectivity infrastructure without unnecessary complexity.
2. Scalability and Flexibility – A key benefit of the hybrid DAS solution is its inherent scalability and flexibility. As the needs of a building or venue evolve, the solution can easily scale to accommodate it.
3. Enhanced Signal Strength and Coverage – The robust signal performance of hybrid DAS eliminates dead zones and optimizes the overall connectivity experience. Enhanced signal strength and coverage ensure that users enjoy consistent and reliable connectivity throughout the designated space.
4. Compatibility with Current and Future Cellular Protocols – The hybrid DAS system seamlessly accommodates current cellular protocols, ensuring optimal performance and usability across the spectrum. And its compatibility with future cellular protocols allows it to easily adapt to emerging technologies, making it a strategic investment for the long term.
5. Space Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness – Hybrid DAS’ space-efficient design makes it suitable for diverse environments. The long-term benefits of lower maintenance costs and reduced upgrade frequency contribute to its overall cost-effectiveness as a sustainable solution for in-building connectivity.
6. Versatility and adaptability – Hybrid DAS is suitable for a range of industries and building environments—from corporate offices and factories to hospitals and college campuses. It offers a wide spectrum of customization options and can be tailored to meet the needs of specific interiors. For those requiring additional spectrum support, the seamless integration of another repeater provides the necessary amplification to meet those requirements. This adaptability extends to public safety, with the option to add components that provide coverage for public safety networks.
7. Hybrid DAS Integration with Existing Infrastructure – One of the other notable advantages of the hybrid DAS solution is its compatibility and ease of integration with existing infrastructure. Whether deployed in commercial buildings, stadiums, or other large venues, the hybrid DAS solution seamlessly integrates with diverse environments.
