Frequently Asked Questions

How can you help me with my coverage issues?

Our in-house skillsets and knowledge areas cover a wide range of wireless based technologies, including radio, wireless, cellular and DECT.

We can work with you to understand the coverage you are looking for and the how this can be achieved through a process of auditing and designing a solution to meet your requirements, budget or timelines.

Can you help us identify our coverage and blackspot areas?

Absolutely, we have conducted coverage and black assessments for customers across a number of different sites, structures and terrains – all across Australia.

Why is my coverage reduced?

Radio Frequencies (RF) engineering is a very complex topic; in very basic terms, all technologies based on radio/wireless communications rely on a clear line of sight between the user and the antenna. Objects or material between the user and the antenna will produce some interference; the severity of this depends on the different radio frequencies (in basic terms radio waves), which can lead to the signal being absorbed or deflected.

What is in-building coverage?

In-building coverage refers to the ability of a wireless communication system, such as a cellular network, to provide service inside a building or other enclosed structure. It is important for buildings where it is difficult for a signal from outside to penetrate, such as large high-rise buildings, underground structures, or buildings made of materials that block signals. To improve in-building coverage, wireless service providers may use solutions such as microcells, distributed antenna systems (DAS), or repeaters to boost the signal inside the building.

What is a distributed antenna system (DAS)?

A distributed antenna system (DAS) is a network of small, spatially separated antennas that are connected to a common source of RF signal. DAS is used to distribute wireless signals, such as cellular and Wi-Fi, throughout a building or other enclosed structure where the normal outside signal is weak or nonexistent.

A DAS may consist of several components such as a headend or hub that amplifies and conditions the incoming signal, a passive distribution network that carries the signal to the individual antennas, and the antennas themselves which are located at strategic points throughout the building.

DAS is used to improve in-building coverage for wireless services such as cellular, public safety, and Wi-Fi. They can also be used in large venues such as stadiums and airports, tunnels, subway stations, large enterprises to provide reliable and consistent wireless service. They are typically used as a solution when traditional in-building solutions like microcells and repeaters can’t handle the capacity demands.

How do distributed antenna systems (DAS) differ for different technologies (eg. radio, cellular and wireless)?

A Radio DAS is a system of spatially separated antenna nodes connected to a common source via a transport medium that provides wireless service within a geographic area or structure. It is used to improve wireless coverage and capacity in areas with limited or obstructed signal, such as large buildings, stadiums, and underground areas. Radio DAS can be used to support multiple wireless technologies, including cellular, Wi-Fi, and public safety communications.

Cellular DAS is a type of DAS that is specifically designed to improve cellular coverage and capacity within a building or other enclosed structure. It works by distributing the cellular signal from a nearby cellular base station throughout the structure using a network of low-power antennas and RF cabling. The system can also include amplifiers and other components to help boost the signal and improve coverage. Cellular DAS is often used in buildings such as hospitals, office buildings, airports and hotels to improve the quality and reliability of cellular service for employees and customers.

Wireless DAS is a type of DAS that is designed to improve wireless coverage and capacity for a variety of wireless technologies, including cellular, Wi-Fi, and public safety communications. It works by distributing the wireless signal from a nearby wireless base station or multiple base stations throughout a structure or area using a network of antennas and RF cabling. The system can also include amplifiers and other components to help boost the signal and improve coverage. Wireless DAS is used to solve issues of limited wireless coverage and capacity in areas such as large buildings, stadiums, underground areas, and in-building wireless systems. Wireless DAS can be used to support a variety of wireless services, including voice and data services, public safety communications, and wireless LANs.
