The U.S. wireless market has reached a tipping point: Eighty percent of Americans subscribe to a wireless service; and more minutes of use are now logged over wireless than over landline networks. With network performance and reliability continuing to drive competition, service providers are deploying sites at a breakneck rate to ease capacity stress and to achieve flawless coverage. Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) is one tool that has proven effective in boosting capacity strategically and achieving highly targeted coverage in sensitive environments.

Join leading authorities on outdoor DAS as they explore the regulatory landscape governing DAS deployments and operations. Expert panelists will examine rights of way issues, emerging federal and state pole attachment regulation, and the potential impact of the FCC’s “Katrina Order” eight hour backup power provision on DAS networks. DAS engineers and operators will also describe how they ensure DAS systems comply with Enhanced 911 and RF interference federal regulation. The seminar will culminate with a case study and site visit to NewPath Networks’ Muddy Branch Road installation to see a DAS in action.
