In-building wireless for every major carrier

Cellular DAS and small cells that bring 5G indoors

Concrete, steel, low-E glass and underground levels block cell signals. TCOMM designs, builds and manages distributed antenna systems and small cell networks that deliver strong indoor coverage and capacity for buildings, campuses and venues across the United States.

What is a cellular DAS?

A distributed antenna system (DAS) is a network of antennas spread throughout a building or campus, fed by carrier signal sources and connected by fiber or coaxial cable. Instead of relying on an outdoor tower to push signal through walls, a DAS delivers carrier coverage right where people are: in offices, units, corridors, stairwells, parking levels and concourses.

DAS or small cells?

Large, high-traffic properties such as hospitals, stadiums, airports and office towers usually need a multi-carrier DAS for capacity. Smaller buildings, outdoor areas and targeted coverage gaps can often be served with small cells. TCOMM assesses your property and recommends the right mix based on coverage, capacity, carrier needs and budget.

How TCOMM delivers

  • Assessment. A site survey and signal testing to measure today’s coverage and where it fails.
  • Design. An RF design built around your building’s layout, materials and occupancy.
  • Carrier coordination. Working with the major carriers on approvals and signal sources.
  • Installation and commissioning. Cabling, antennas and equipment installed and tested with minimal disruption.
  • Monitoring and management. Ongoing network monitoring, maintenance and support after go-live.

Properties that need indoor cellular

Office and commercial buildings, apartments and condos, hospitals and medical centers, hotels and resorts, universities and campuses, stadiums, arenas and entertainment venues, airports, warehouses and industrial facilities, government buildings, and new construction.

Flexible ways to pay for it

You can own the system outright, have a system you own managed for you, or choose DAS as a Service, with no upfront capital and a predictable fee.

Cellular DAS questions

Does a DAS support all carriers?

A multi-carrier DAS can carry signal for the major carriers. Each carrier must approve and connect to the system, and TCOMM coordinates that process.

Is a DAS the same as a signal booster?

No. Boosters amplify weak outdoor signal for small spaces. A DAS is engineered for large buildings and heavy use and can be fed directly by carrier equipment for real capacity.

Can a DAS be added to an existing building?

Yes. Retrofits are common. New construction is the easiest time, so planning a DAS during design saves cost and disruption.

Can the same system support public safety radio?

Public safety coverage is usually a separate, code-required system, but TCOMM can design and deliver both together. See public safety DAS.
