Cellular Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is a network of strategically placed antennas within a building or area that work together to improve cellular signal coverage. It enhances mobile phone reception by capturing signals from nearby cell towers, amplifying them, and distributing the stronger signal throughout the building. Cellular DAS is commonly used in large facilities like office buildings, stadiums, hospitals, and airports to ensure consistent and reliable cellular service, eliminating dead zones and boosting overall signal strength for users. 

Indoor poor cellular connectivity is a common issue, often caused by building construction materials. Materials like concrete, metal, and low-emissivity (low-e) glass, especially in LEED-certified buildings, can block or reflect cellular and radio frequency signals, leading to weak signals or frequent dropped calls. Additionally, the high demand for voice and data services from multiple users can strain cellular performance, resulting in slower or interrupted connections. 

By installing a Global Network cellular DAS, you can enhance your building’s revenue potential by providing seamless coverage while meeting the growing demands of today’s mobile device users. Not only does this improve students satisfaction, but Global Network cellular DAS also boosts your professor's operational efficiency.

Imagine a loved one at work needing urgent medical attention or a student in a dorm facing a life-threatening emergency. These are real-life scenarios that most people overlook when entering a building, yet in such moments, reliable connectivity to call emergency services is crucial.

In critical situations, a smartphone is the primary communication device, and it’s not the time to be searching for Wi-Fi access. While most Wi-Fi networks are sufficient for everyday business use, they shouldn’t be relied upon for emergency calls. Unfortunately, many buildings suffer from poor cellular connectivity, highlighting the need for a more permanent solution.

A cellular DAS installed by Global Network ensures the necessary coverage and user capacity required during emergencies. This gives users peace of mind, knowing they can call for help when needed. Building owners can also rest assured they are providing a life-saving service, reducing the risk of potential litigation by ensuring reliable emergency communication.

In today’s mobile-driven world, you've likely heard of 3G, 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi, each offering ways to connect to the internet. But what’s the most reliable and secure option? In-building wireless systems provide the safest and most dependable solution, especially when it comes to critical services like calling 911.

While Wi-Fi offers internet access, it comes with some drawbacks:

• Security Risks: Wi-Fi users are more vulnerable to hackers, particularly when using mobile devices.
• Reliability: Wi-Fi is a secondary access method and isn’t as reliable as wired or cellular connections.
• Connection Issues: Wi-Fi users often experience dropped calls or data interruptions when entering or leaving a building.

When needed, Global Network designs custom in-building systems using both DAS and Small Cell technologies. Small Cells are low-powered radio nodes that operate in both licensed and unlicensed spectrums. They cover ranges of up to several miles and are ideal for both indoor and outdoor wireless service in areas requiring higher user capacity. Global Network will assess your facility’s needs and recommend a solution, which may involve a combination of both DAS and Small Cells. 

Nearly 80% of communications happen indoors, and students are increasingly demanding uninterrupted cellular reception. Reliable indoor connectivity is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. By installing a cellular indoor wireless solution from Global Network, you can enhance students satisfaction and keep them connected.
