Cellular DAS
Reliable mobile signal on every floor, for every carrier.
A DAS (Distributed Antenna System) brings outdoor cellular signal indoors and spreads it evenly through a building using a network of small antennas. It is the proven answer for concrete, steel and glass buildings where phones show no bars, calls drop and mobile data stalls.

Dead zones and dropped calls
Modern building materials block outdoor signal. Basements, cores, elevators and interior rooms are the usual trouble spots.
Uneven carrier performance
One carrier may work while another fails. A neutral-host DAS carries all major Canadian and US carriers on one system.
Tenant and occupant complaints
Poor mobile coverage is now a leasing and retention issue, not just an IT problem.
Unclear existing performance
Older systems may have drifted out of tune or never been validated. We measure what is actually happening.
How we approach it
01
Pre-construction survey
We walk the building with a scanning receiver to record signal strength and quality for every carrier and band, floor by floor.
02
Design to a target
Antenna placement, cabling routes and equipment sizing are modelled to meet an agreed coverage target, commonly –90 dBm or better throughout.
03
Carrier coordination
We manage the approval and signal-source process with each carrier so the system is licensed and authorised to operate.
04
Installation and commissioning
Clean, labelled installation followed by power tuning and test-call verification.
05
Post-construction validation
A second walk survey proves the target has been met and forms part of your close-out package.

Common questions
Do we need approval from the carriers?
Yes. Any system that rebroadcasts carrier signal must be approved by each carrier. We handle that process as part of the project.
How long does a DAS project take?
A small building can be complete in a few weeks. Larger multi-carrier systems commonly run three to nine months, largely driven by carrier approval timelines.
Can a DAS be added to an occupied building?
Yes. Most of our installations happen in occupied buildings with work scheduled around tenants.
