Distributed Antennas Systems (DAS) Summit 2010

Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) resolve wireless coverage and capacity challenges. DAS are a cost effective solution for off-loading traffic from the macro network. And if you want to employ wireless solutions but don t have omnipresent wireless coverage, a DAS will eliminate any dead spots. But as the macro wireless landscape evolves, important considerations must be taken into account to ensure optimum ROI from the investment.
The ACI DAS Congress is the only event dedicated to indoor/outdoor DAS. Each year the event increases in size and scope, offering attendees the opportunity to explore the current market and latest trends, and to hear from and meet with key decision-makers and industry thought-leaders.
Join leading wireless carriers, network infrastructure manufacturers and a host of building owner/enterprise end-users as they examine the strategic and technical considerations surrounding DAS, and other alternative siting solutions.
The comprehensive conference agenda includes:

• Evaluating the next evolution of DAS
  • Examining 4G in-building wireless solutions
  • Upgrading your existing DAS to accommodate 700 MGHZ
  • Determining the value proposition of MIMO
• Strategic and business considerations
  • Planning, funding, building and operating a multiple carrier DAS
  • Financing options and investor perspectives on DAS and alternative coverage solutions
  • Leveraging federal stimulus funding to deliver unified in-building wireless connectivity
• Technical advancements and considerations
  • Convergence - achieving interoperability between cellular and WiFi networks
  • Evaluating active versus passive DAS
  • Network design, testing and optimization best practices
• Public safety compliance
  • Meeting in-building public safety communications standards
  • The impact of the coverage requirements outlined by the NFPA
  • Overcoming community resistance to tower-siting initiatives
