AUSTIN, TX — (Marketwired) — 04/29/13 — Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), as part of the heterogeneous network concept (Het-Net), are one option for mobile operators as they seek to supply enough licensed-spectrum capacity to deal with peak data demand, as well as provide coverage, throughout large buildings and stadiums.
DAS systems are typically deployed to improve both the voice and data coverage on licensed cellular bands in office buildings, as well as in venues with a particularly high density of users such as stadiums and convention centers. Many sports arenas across the U.S. have installed DAS to improve the wireless service for guests. Offloading the cellular traffic of 60,000 attendees at a football game greatly relieves the serving macrocells and provides a better user experience for those subscribers.
“We believe that iGR-s analysis in this area is unique in its detail and scope,” said Iain Gillott, president and founder of iGR. “By taking a bottoms up approach, we have sized the market through a detailed analysis of buildings of differing sizes, number of floors, and commercial use.”
iGR-s new market study, U.S. DAS Total Addressable Market, 2012 – 2017: The Large Building and Venue Opportunity, defines DAS architecture, overviews use cases, provides profiles of 22 DAS vendors, and gives a five year forecast for the total addressable market for DAS systems, as well as DAS nodes (antennas.)
The following key questions are addressed in iGR-s research studies:
What is the DAS architecture?
How do DAS and small cells compare?
What is the difference between neutral DAS and single host DAS?
What are the challenges that surround a DAS deployment?
What are the advantages provided by DAS?
What are the typical use cases for DAS?
What improvements do U.S. consumers want in their cellular voice coverage and how might DAS help provide these improvements?
What are the key elements and assumptions in iGR-s total addressable market forecast for DAS?
What is the five year total addressable market forecast for DAS systems in both commercial buildings and multi-dwelling units (MDUs)?
What is the five year total addressable market forecast for DAS nodes in both commercial buildings and multi-dwelling units (MDUs)?
