Bring the base station closer to the user: It’s a simple enough philosophy, but in practical terms, is it one that can be simply achieved? In-building distributed antenna system (DAS) solutions are not new, but they can provide renewed benefits in a 4G environment. This panel discussion will review the benefits and challenges associated with employing DAS as a solution for in-building coverage, including the potential for mobile data offload. Participants will examine various technologies available to support new builds and will assess viable options for retrofits.
