Infrastructure That Moves at the Speed of Disaster When disaster strikes, communications are often the first thing to fail. Storm surge knocks out backhaul. Wildfires destroy fiber. High winds shear antennas from towers. Interference spikes as damaged equipment and temporary power sources flood the spectrum. Entire RF environments can collapse in minutes, taking mission critical
The Art of the Invisible Network Walk through an airport, a hospital, a stadium, or a university campus and a quiet paradox appears. Everyone is connected, yet the infrastructure that makes that connection possible is nowhere to be seen. There are no exposed radios, no tangled cables, no obvious antennas drawing attention to themselves. The
The Role of Drones in the Next Generation of Field Services Telecommunication networks are expanding faster than crews can inspect them. Towers climb higher every year, and the gear attached to them carries more responsibility for keeping regions connected. Drones are beginning to change that rhythm of work. They record what once required a climb,
How BDAs, DAS, and Portable Towers Enable First Responders First responders don’t operate in perfect conditions when they’re working in stairwells, in basements, in buildings still under construction, or partially collapsing. They navigate dense forests, flooded highways, and crowded stadiums. Through all of it, they’re expected to stay in constant contact. To receive the call,
Overcoming Integration Challenges in DAS Deployments High-density environments like stadiums, office buildings, hospitals, and urban centers are constantly dealing with the demand for reliable and high-speed wireless networks. Traditional cellular networks used to be enough. However, with the growth of 5G networks and more people needing connectivity for their internet of things (IoT) devices, these
Smart DAS Monitoring is Shaping the Future of Wireless Infrastructure There is a constant and ever-increasing demand for reliable communication networks and smart distributed antenna systems (DAS) have emerged as a game-changing solution for the future of wireless infrastructure. Traditionally, DAS has played a key role for wireless coverage, especially in environments where macro-cell towers
How Emergency Broadcast Systems Stay Online When Everything Else Fails Since 1963, many Americans grew up with a television or radio broadcast being interrupted every week by the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) or the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The same could be said for Canadians who have had their Alert Ready system since 2015, as
How DAS Monitoring Works Whether we know it or not, we encounter distributed antenna systems (DAS) every day; in office buildings, hospitals, and stadiums. Levi’s Stadium alone operates over 700 DAS antennas to ensure 70,000 spectators stay connected. There are many different factors to take into account to guarantee consistent performance. Not only do these
Are Solar-Powered Telecommunication Towers a Viable Option? Global energy demands are on the rise. The push for sustainability intensifies. The telecom industry is looking for renewable energy solutions that can reliably power essential infrastructure. This shift isn’t just about reducing carbon footprints but also enhancing the resilience of communication networks. Resilience matters more than ever.
Enhancing IoT Sustainability through TX RX Radio Frequency (RF) Signal Power The Internet of Things (IoT) has changed how we interact and view the world. This technology allows objects like appliances, vehicles, and wearable devices to communicate and share data with each other, like a smart thermostat that adjusts the temperature based on your preferences
