Why DAS is Important in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor's identity is built around one of the largest and most prestigious universities in the world. The University of Michigan alone operates a massive network of academic buildings, research labs, and one of the largest academic medical centers in the country — all generating enormous demand for reliable indoor cellular coverage every single day. Yet, the construction of buildings in Ann Arbor makes it challenging to maintain a reliable connection inside.

Older brick and masonry university buildings across the University of Michigan's central campus are thick, heavily constructed, and among the most signal-resistant structures in any market
Large research and laboratory facilities throughout the university campus use dense concrete and reinforced construction that outdoor signal simply cannot penetrate consistently
University of Michigan Health System buildings are built with heavy medical-grade construction that cuts off reliable indoor coverage for staff and patients alike
Modern commercial and mixed-use developments in Downtown Ann Arbor use glass and steel assemblies that reflect outdoor signal before it reaches interior spaces

Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is the most reliable way to deliver consistent 5G/4G LTE coverage across Ann Arbor's dense mix of university, healthcare, and commercial buildings. From packed game days at Michigan Stadium to busy research labs and patient floors at the health system; a professionally installed DAS keeps every space in your building fully connected without interruption.

Different Types of DAS and How They Work

Active DAS

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

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

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.
