DAS Solutions for Arenas & Stadiums

Optical Telecom designs, installs and supports Distributed Antenna System (DAS) installations for Arenas and Stadiums, indoors and outdoors.

DAS for Arenas and Stadiums

Arenas and Stadiums are challenging environments for wireless voice and data communications. Because of their large capacity and varied activities, the communications network needs to be robust enough to provide service under the most extreme conditions.

DAS can provide enhanced wireless coverage to customers in indoor or outdoor spaces where geographical limitations, such as terrain and building construction, or crowd density might impede an otherwise optimal wireless experience.
