Distributed Antenna Systems in our ever-connected world
There is
lot of good news related to the in-building wireless
market. ABI Research forecasts revenue will grow to more than $19 billion by
2025. The North American enterprise
market for buildings in the 100,000 to 500,000 square feet floor area range
represents the majority of Distributed Antenna System (DAS) spending today.
For those who are unfamiliar, a DAS is one way of
distributing cellular coverage and capacity inside buildings when the existing
macro network signals cannot penetrate the buildings.
According to
ABI Research the Asia-Pacific region will experience the
greatest DAS growth through 2025, with 4G dominating DAS spending, pending the
arrival of the first commercial 5G in-building systems.
North
America remains in a solid curve in terms of maturity, as
building structures that are greater than 500,000 square feet, such as high
profile sports stadiums and airports, already have DAS systems.
