Chicago is the third most populous city in the United States, boasting nearly 2.7 million residents and over 9.5 million across the greater metro. With about 11,900 people per square mile, the city's commercial core is one of the most densely built urban environments in the country. This makes reliable indoor cellular coverage far from guaranteed.
Chicago's building stock creates serious cellular signal problems:
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) are the most effective way to overcome 5G/4G LTE signal challenges throughout the Windy City. A professionally designed and installed DAS eliminates dead zones, delivers consistent coverage across every floor, and supports high-demand environments like O'Hare Airport, McCormick Place, and the city's financial and healthcare campuses. It keeps your operations reliably connected, and fast, year-round.
Active DAS distributes signals across large or complex buildings. This is ideal for high-capacity, high traffic environments like stadiums and hospitals.
This system uses a high-power headend antenna and fiber-optic cables to deliver a digitized signal to remote units, which then convert it back to analog RF and broadcast it through smaller antennas.
Hybrid DAS provides stronger signal coverage than passive system, and is more budget-friendly than full active DAS. This is ideal for mid-size buildings or multi-campus buildings.
This system blends passive and active components, using fiber for long distances and coaxial cables for shorter indoor runs to get the benefits of both DAS types.
Passive DAS is the most affordable option to work for small to medium buildings with moderate users.
This system uses one external antenna to bring in cellular signal and distribute it indoors via coaxial cables and splitters. It needs a strong outside signal since it isn't amplified inside.
