How much does a DAS system cost in Florida?
Pricing varies based on square footage, number of floors, construction type, and carrier requirements. Florida’s hurricane-rated building materials—reinforced concrete, steel cores, and impact-resistant glass—often increase installation complexity compared to other states. Smaller facilities may start in the tens of thousands, while larger hotels, medical campuses, and airports often require mid-five- to six-figure budgets. We provide precise pricing after an on-site RF survey and full iBwave design.
Why does cellular coverage drop indoors so often in Florida?
Florida architecture is designed to withstand extreme weather, and those same protections block cellular signals. Common issues include:
- Hurricane-rated laminated glass
- Reinforced concrete walls and columns
- Low-E reflective windows
- Steel coastal framing
- moisture-resistant insulation
- Deep building footprints with no exterior exposure
Add heavy tourism traffic, and outdoor towers simply can’t keep up—making DAS essential for reliable indoor coverage.
Does DAS work in coastal regions or beachfront properties?
Absolutely. Coastal Florida experiences frequent signal fluctuations due to tower positioning, salt-air corrosion, reflection, and high traffic. Our DAS designs:
- Use corrosion-resistant components
- Include weather-rated donor antennas
- Account for coastal RF patterns
- Stabilize coverage regardless of seasonal visitor spikes
Beachfront hotels and condos benefit dramatically from DAS.
How long does DAS installation take in Florida?
Timelines depend on building size, permitting, carrier approvals, and complexity. A typical Florida schedule includes:
- RF survey: 1–5 days
- iBwave design: 1–3 weeks
- Carrier reviews: 2–6 weeks
- Installation: days to several weeks
- Final testing & documentation: ~1 week
High-rise and resort properties may require extended timelines due to elevator routing, ceiling access, and strict safety rules.
Do you support all carriers in Florida?
Yes. Our DAS systems support AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, private LTE, and 5G bands. We handle:
- Carrier submissions
- Engineering sign-off
- On-site testing
- Final acceptance
We ensure every system meets Florida’s coverage demands, including hospitality, healthcare, and public-safety facilities.
Do you install Florida public-safety DAS systems (ERRCS/BDA)?
Yes. Florida authorities enforce strict requirements for first-responder radio coverage. Our public-safety DAS services include:
- NFPA/IFC-compliant engineering
- Coordination with local AHJs and fire marshals
- Acceptance testing for occupancy approval
- Annual inspections and certifications
- Integration with existing life-safety systems
We ensure your building passes all Florida ERRCS/BDA requirements.
Who provides maintenance for DAS systems in Florida?
We offer full maintenance plans, including system monitoring, firmware updates, component replacements, hurricane-season inspections, and support for carrier changes. Florida buildings often require proactive service due to humidity, salt air, and code requirements—making ongoing maintenance a smart investment.
