What Are The Options?
• RF Source (needed for all DAS solutions)
brings in RF from the outdoor cellular network
– BTS – carrier installed base transceiver station provides dedicated RF
• Passive Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)
RF is distributed over coax cables to each antenna from an RF source (repeater or base station)
– Coax cable losses limit their effectiveness in large buildings for higher frequency transmissions
• Active Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)
optic cabling backbone overcomes the transmission losses that occur w/ coax

– Electric components convert and amplify signals to RF for radiation by the antenna
– Preferred solution for medium to large buildings
– The systems consist of small cellular radios, called picocells and femtocells to create an internal cellular
network
– Do not rely on the macro network for switching and hand-offs
– Evolving technology often used for ‘Hotspot’ solutions
– Only wireless carriers can provide this
