While many would attribute slow connectivity to a problem with Internet Service Providers (ISPs), the problem might be within your very own premise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When faced with such issues, many building managers find themselves at a crossroads; do they opt for setting up a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peercom.org\/the-process-of-installing-das\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">distributed antenna system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or go for a signal booster?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s go into the differences between both<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Signal Boosters<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-94544 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/peercom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/mobile_network_booster2.webp\" alt=\"mobile signal booster\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Peer Communications<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, other building managers opt for different, more complex technology such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peercom.org\/services\/wireless-carrier-das\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">distributed antenna systems (DAS)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The tech comprises a comprehensive system of linked antennas that provide full-strength reception for large commercial spaces, such as hospitals, malls, hotels, or apartment complexes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is worth highlighting the range of DAS\u2019 reception, as it was able to reach tough blind spots within a structure, even reaching subterranean subway platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-94545\" src=\"http:\/\/peercom.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/favpng_distributed-antenna-system-in-building-cellular-enhancement-system-cellular-network-mobile-phones-871x1024-1.webp\" alt=\"distributed-antenna-system-in-building-cellular-enhancement-system-cellular-network-mobile-phone\" width=\"600\" height=\"705\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The differences<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first difference that needs to be earmarked is price point; DAS systems are naturally more expensive than DAS cell boosters. The Achilles heel to this, however, can only provide cellular signals, while signal boosters can also enhance broadband and HDTV receptions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Installation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Signal boosters:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re looking for a quick fix to your reception problems, then DAS signal boosters are the way to go, as they would immediately provide you with full service, especially when dealing with distance from carrier towers. These systems are considered easy to install, as<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0customers can set them up themselves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Peer Communications:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a more complicated layout since they are targeted more toward the digital infrastructure of a particular organization or workplace. They are optimal when new buildings are being constructed rather than fitted into an already built one. This is done by linking fiber-optic cables to a plethora of antennas spread out on different floors and collaborating with ISPs themselves.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the topic of organizations and the workplace, if you\u2019re looking to understand how Peer Communications and ERRCS work together on a variety of different structures, check out our blog post that covers\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peercom.org\/errcs-and-carrier-das-for-corporate-campuses\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how DAS works with corporate campuses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upgrade and Use\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Signal Boosters:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As are many electronics in this age, DAS signal boosters are considered plug-and-play solutions, which allows for the ease of their maintenance and later upgrade.
