does indoor wireless like
CommScope
The pressure is growing. Employees, customers and visitors within your facility need to be mobile
and connected. They expect it. They are relying on you to provide indoor wireless service that is
ubiquitous, fast and seamless. You know that it also has to be cost-effective and future-ready.

Where do you start?

Attempting to plan, design, engineer, deploy, commission and manage a high-performance,
multicarrier, neutral-host, indoor wireless network by yourself is like assembling a huge puzzle
in the dark. Unless youre an RF expert with all the components, technical resources and expertise
needed, the challenge is daunting, if not impossible. CommScope can help.

Move forward with confidence

With CommScope by your side, youre never alone. As a global leader in distributed coverage
and capacity solutions (DCCS), we provide turnkey indoor wireless solutionsfrom engineering and
project management to system monitoring and onsite construction management. We have deployed
DAS and small cells in more places than any other provider in the world, and in some of the most
difficult locations on the planet.
CommScope partners with you, handling as much or as little of the network design, installation and
optimization as you need. Need help monitoring and managing your system afterward? Weve
got you covered, with remote 24/7 monitoring from our global DCCS Network Operations Center
(NOC) and onsite maintenance and repair for excellent network availability.
For small business and enterprise-class deployments, our PartnerPRO

Project design
The design of your DAS network is a collaboration between you and your
CommScope project team. Together we establish your coverage objectives,
capacity requirements and scope of services. A thorough site survey enables
us to undertand how your wireless performance may be impacted by factors
such as the local macro cell environment and other RF issues.
The initial assessment guides the preliminary design. This outlines the network
configurations, power sharing architecture, sectorization plan and more. The
preliminary design is tested, validated and optimized to produce the final
detailed design that includes elements such as RF plumbing diagrams, DAS
master unit and small cell controller layouts, and final scope and pricing for
the project.

Project implementation
The DAS implementation process includes installation, commissioning, optimization,
closeout and acceptance. All phases are carefully coordinated to minimize the impact
on your business.
During commissioning and optimization, DAS performance is tested and fine tuned to
meet the requirements for capacity, coverage, connectivity, power levels, interference
management, reporting and more. A test call from every sector ensures both uplink
and downlink performance. CommScope also provides recommendations for
optimizing surrounding macro sites in order to minimize potential interference.
