Having the appropriate Distributed Antenna System (DAS) and mobile In-Building Coverage (IBC) solution is increasingly becoming a priority for many property owners and managers with the proliferation of 5G. Apart from meeting tenant expectation of having access to fast and reliable mobile service inside the building, a fit-for-purpose DAS or IBC solution will contribute towards achieving or maintaining building ratings of the property, and also enable Smart Building / Internet of Things opportunities. Hence, DAS/IBC is essentially a necessary but often complex and costly investment in the digital age for commercial properties.
