Distributed Antenna System (Das) Market Overview:
A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is a group of antennas that are spatially separated and distributed over a given geographic area to augment existing wireless services, including cellular and radio signals. Digital signals are converted from RF and RF to digital with the help of antennas to provide cellular signals. Distributed antenna systems (DAS) are deployed to provide additional network coverage and capacity in buildings and locations where demand for wireless network services is high but infrequently used, such as concert halls, sports arenas, and auditoriums. DAS networks are deployed indoors or outdoors. A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) consists of various hardware components such as antennas, headend units, radios and others that provide great efficiency with increased performance for network coverage and connectivity.

Significant Market Dynamics:
Driver:
As the number of cellular network subscribers increases, the need to increase macrocell deployment has increased. It is becoming increasingly difficult for mobile service providers to provide seamless coverage through existing macrocell base stations. According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index, worldwide mobile devices and connections are expected to grow from 8.8 billion in 2018 to 13.1 billion by 2023. The network is growing at the same time. Connectivity technologies have evolved from 2G to 3G, 3.5G, and 4G, and this evolutionary trend is expected to continue, leading to the commercialization of 4.5G (LTE/LTE-A/LTE-AP) and 5G. . As mobile connectivity technology advances, so does the need for bandwidth management. Relying solely on the giant cellular networks won't help service providers meet the needs of their customers.
According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) released in June 2017, mobile data traffic increased 18-fold from 2013 to 2017. Additionally, overall mobile data traffic is expected to grow at a CAGR of 47% from 2016 to 2021. , will reach 41 exabytes (EB) per month by 2021. This is a 7x increase over traffic registered in 2016. Growing smartphone penetration, increasing number of wireless broadband subscriptions, and increasing mobile data usage are driving the tremendous growth of data traffic. This has impacted the ability to provide uninterrupted data and voice services to service providers, particularly those using in-building wireless solutions. As part of this effort, wireless carriers have begun deploying DAS solutions at various sites, especially those with complex building designs. DAS and small cells are emerging as extensions of cellular networks. DAS provides the necessary capacity and increased bandwidth to support high data rates and low latency.
Restraint:
The process of deploying DAS on major projects is time consuming and requires intensive RF engineering and RF testing. This process also includes significant pre-sales costs associated with on-site oversight to install/customize the DAS setup. DAS deployments require dedicated wiring throughout the building, with professional engineers involved in pre-installation, installation, and post-installation services. These factors make DAS relatively expensive and not suitable for small facilities. The cost of DAS depends on various factors such as frequency and type of building. Costs vary by frequency range, for example very high frequency (VHF), ultra high frequency (UHF) or 700–800 MHz for public safety. Costs would be much higher if all frequencies were considered, rather than just one frequency band. DAS for 700–800 MHz are generally the easiest to install and the least expensive. VHF and UHF are more complex and increase the cost of DAS deployment tremendously. Costs also increase significantly when facility owners choose multiple carriers.
Also, DAS costs vary by building type. For example, if your building is a wooden structure with plain windows, you may not need a DAS as radio signals penetrate very easily. However, if you build a building using concrete or steel or brick, you will need to install a DAS to provide continuous network connectivity as the building will shield it from receiving radio signals. Additionally, most DAS use fiber optic cables to transmit signals and require custom cabling and installation, increasing material costs and deployment time. Therefore, an increase in specifications such as frequency change, building type, and DAS type (active or passive) is expected to increase the cost of the entire equipment, leading to an increase in the total cost of DAS deployment.
Compared to small cell networks, DAS networks are much more expensive. The price difference is due to the need to use fiber optic cables to connect each radio head to a central hub, the development of the hub itself, and the deployment of cellular base stations. All the DAS equipment required to implement a DAS network in a large venue such as a football stadium can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars, with any tuning and optimization required afterwards.
Opportunity:
Public safety networks are implemented in skyscrapers, tunnels, shopping malls, parking lots, airports, etc. and are critical to people's safety. Over the past decade, national, state, and local laws regarding DAS system standards have grown significantly. Demand for in-building wireless solutions for public safety, including repeaters, bi-directional amplifiers and active DAS, is driven by new public safety building codes and legislative standards enforced by the International Code Council (ICC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) . .
DAS wirelessly amplifies signals received by base stations and redistributes them within a defined area through a large network of small antennas placed within a building or set of buildings. It is utilized for both cellular communications and public safety. In buildings, public safety DAS are used as emergency response radio systems that allow RF penetration to ensure the safety of occupants. After the 9/11 attacks in the United States, as public safety agencies needed wireless coverage for mission-critical communications, many governments around the world urged building owners to install in-building wireless coverage solutions for first responders. Federal law (IFC 510, 2009) requires that radio reception be at least 95% in all establishments.
Challenge:
Installing iDAS or oDAS is a very complex process. Before installing a DAS, many government regulations and factors such as the size and location of the facility must be considered. Currently, a typical DAS contract involving only the hardware (hub, remote radio head, node, and antenna) typically costs between US$5 and US$10 million. The installation of active and passive DAS depends on factors such as the price of the system to be installed, the size of the facility in which the system must be installed, the type of cable involved (coaxial or fiber optic), and the power requirements of the system.
