From the biggest city to the smallest village on earth, the 21<\/span>st<\/span> century brought the Internet to everyone, in an almost seamless way through their computers, businesses, or mobile phones.<\/span><\/p>\n With the increase in connectivity around us, we take a deep dive into understanding the differences between <\/span>Cellular DAS systems vs Wi-Fi systems<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n Peer Communications<\/span> are designed to deliver radio signals from mobile carriers. In contrast, Wi-Fi helps transmit data from one device to another, mainly through internet connectivity via a provider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Join us on this blog post as we shed some light on the fundamental aspects and differences of <\/span>Cellular DAS vs Wi-Fi<\/span> and their respective advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n Cellular Peer Communications<\/span> are antennas, relays, and wires used to distribute cellular signals in a building structure. A DAS system is <\/span>designed for delivering radio signals<\/span><\/a>, be it carrier signals or mobile data, from the mobile carriers to users located throughout an area.<\/span><\/p>\n DAS systems<\/span> can be installed in both new construction and retrofit projects, and are most commonly found at airports, hospitals, schools, hotels, arenas and businesses where there’s:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the other hand, Wi-Fi helps transmit data from one device to another. It uses radio waves to transmit and receive signals over short distances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Wi-Fi connects devices like computers, smartphones, or other smart devices that need internet access through an antenna fixed at a high location such as a building or home.<\/span><\/p>\n A Wi-Fi system can be used for accessing the internet. Still, it does not have any special features compared with cellular data transmission networks, also referred to as CEDAS (Cellular eDAS).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cellular DAS enhances cellular signals, a great way to get better reception on your cell phone. Particularly when you’re inside a large building, working in a remote factory, or even outdoors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It also works with voice calls, texting over Wi-Fi, and data services like 5G, 4G\/LTE, and 3G\/HSPA+.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n DAS can be installed at any location where there are carrier antennas. Still, it’s most common in urban areas where many buildings need more coverage than an individual antenna can provide. Or throughout large buildings that depend on and require fast, reliable, and adequate connectivity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Nowadays, cellular data is as fast or faster than Wi-Fi, which offers an average speed of 1Mbps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is because cellular technology is much more advanced than Wi-Fi, as the industry is constantly competing and progressing, hence offering more in terms of connectivity than the latter.<\/span><\/p>\n Cellular data and Wi-Fi are both valuable, but there are some critical differences between them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Whether you are in the market for a Wi-Fi system or a <\/span>Cellular DAS<\/span>, <\/span>the difference is night and day<\/span><\/a>. Both can be effective solutions for businesses in their own respect, but each retains its advantages and disadvantages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0It is, therefore, pivotal to identify your businesses’ current and foreseeable needs, and <\/span>engage a DAS partner<\/span><\/a> that can efficiently handle the responsibility of helping you optimize your connectivity strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n Contact us<\/span><\/a> to learn how we can help you with value engineering from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n Keep up with our updates and announcements on<\/span> LinkedIn<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> Facebook<\/span><\/a>, and check out our other<\/span> blog posts<\/span><\/a> to learn more about our <\/span>DAS solutions<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction From the biggest city to the smallest village on earth, the 21st century brought the Internet to everyone, in an almost seamless way through their computers, businesses, or mobile phones.
