With a traditional Wi-Fi deployment, CAT5/6 is run to each wireless access point located at optimal locations for blanket wireless coverage – usually in the ceilings. Oftentimes this leaves the wireless access points vulnerable to security risks and increases operational costs with maintenance and support issues. Installing the necessary cabling is costly and the ongoing operational costs of managing lots of ceiling-mounted Wi-Fi access points can be burdensome.


An alternative to the traditional deployment is integrating with a Distributed Antenna System. By installing a multi-purpose wireless solution with fiber, broadband coax and remote antennas, multiple wireless technologies can be shared on the same system – including Wi-Fi. More secure than a traditional deployment, the DAS alternative increases protection by placing your network equipment in a secured location and decreases maintenance costs. By sharing the implementation costs across all of your wireless projects, the total cost of your installation decreases. Along with cost savings, other benefits include: easier management of capacity issues and better planning for additional applications such as WVoIP and real-time location based services.
