Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)
Deliver Ubiquitous Coverage
Vision Technologies delivers comprehensive Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) to ensure seamless cellular coverage in even the most challenging environments, building the coverage necessary for smarter spaces. Our comprehensive DAS solutions eliminate dead zones in challenging environments where building materials block signals, ensuring seamless communication for employees, guests, and critical operations.
Our team of certified RF experts designs and deploys a range of solutions, from passive, single-carrier systems to sophisticated multi-carrier Neutral Host platforms. By acting as a single point of contact, Vision Technologies handles complex carrier coordination, permissions, and funding models to guarantee ubiquitous coverage for all major service providers.
We have a proven track record of successful installations in various venues, including corporate campuses, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, and large public spaces like stadiums. By enhancing reception and enabling reliable, high-speed mobile access, our DAS solutions increase productivity, improve collaboration, and provide the peace of mind that comes with a truly connected and secure smart environment.
Related Verticals
Hospitals and healthcare staff rely on 24/7 wireless networks that deliver consistent coverage across the entire campus, including exam rooms, waiting areas, and support facilities. Weak or unreliable signals disrupt vital communications, lower care quality, and reduce staff performance, ultimately diminishing the patient experience.
What Is DAS?
A Distributed Antenna System is a network of strategically placed antennas spread throughout a building and connected to a source module to extend and enhance an existing wireless network. DAS solution technology ensures a massive signal boost without having to modify construction plans, risk code-compliance or cellular connectivity.
Gone are the days when employees or guests are forced to wander the building in search of a cell signal. Eliminate dead zones and accommodate a high density of users with DAS.
Securing wireless carrier permission and coordinating between multiple wireless carriers is a critical component of any successful DAS system.
To facilitate coordination and approval, and maximize the volume of wireless connectivity, Vision has forged strong relationships with all the major carriers.
The deployment of cellular infrastructure for multiple carrier wireless service providers (WSP’s) with a joint or cooperative funding model is complex, and requires a thorough understanding of the technology, legal structure, contract requirements, WSP budget restrictions, WSP deployment protocol and standards.
Vision understands this complexity and the need to develop a strategic carrier plan around each project. We provide flexible financing allowing you to either purchase and own your network with a CAPEX model or finance it with an OPEX lease. Our approach and strategy is designed to meet the goals of all invested parties.

DAS Questions & Answers
Sometimes referred to as Cellular Reinforcement or DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems), in-building cellular refers to the technology that enables the distribution and rebroadcasting of cellular, PCS, LTE, AWS and other RF frequencies within a building.
Vision installs antennas on the roof of your building and aims them at “donor” cell towers. Through a combination of fiber optic cable, coaxial cable and in-building antennas, we amplify and distribute those signals within your space and coordinate with your carrier to install a micro-cell in your facility if needed.
Yes. A DAS is a frequency-based transportation system. It is not capable of understanding or modifying the voice or data traffic that is created with technology, such as CDMA, EVDO, GSM, HSPA, UMTS which is embedded within the frequency and encoded/decoded by your mobile device. The DAS equipment does not have any cell phone/smart phone-like capabilities.
In-Building Cellular systems vary in capability and complexity. Vision provides a system tailored to your specific need, providing everything from a basic single carrier repeater-type system to complex, host-neutral distributed antenna systems capable of carrying multiple carriers. You will need a separate signal source system (repeater or micro-cell) but only one set of distributed antennas. We offer a variety of systems that support multiple carriers on a single antenna system as well as targeted solutions for individual services. We can help you understand which system is best for your needs and budget.
Yes! We offer several systems that will support wireless (802.11) networking for voice/data on cellular distributed antenna systems. Each system has specific benefits. We can help you decide which systems may be right for your applications.
Most definitely! Since we are working with licensed frequency, you will need a rebroadcast or in-building agreement with each carrier participating on the DAS. Based on our experience with in-building cellular system installations, Vision has established solid working relationships with carriers and assists in streamlining the process.
