\u00a0<\/span>Careful planning and consideration go into preparing for such an investment, which has the potential to <\/span>transform and assist your business development strategy<\/span><\/a> and take care of communications and reception issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Here’s how you can plan your <\/span>cellular<\/span> DAS system cost<\/span> to budget for success.<\/span><\/p>\n The first step to budgeting for a <\/span>cellular DAS system<\/span> is identifying and assessing your current issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n First, look at your building space: Is there any noticeable difference in signal strength from one room or area inside your building compared with another? Are there any places where reception gets weaker over time?<\/span><\/p>\n Then, reflect on your current carrier, particularly if you have used the same cellular service provider for years. It’s easy to overlook the fact that you may have some issues with your cell phone coverage from the signal source, which could indicate the need for a <\/span>cellular DAS system.<\/span><\/p>\n If so, this could indicate that some work needs to be done on upgrading or repairing equipment within those areas or upgrading your connectivity by installing your own antennas.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The second step is to<\/span> identify and draft your primary expectations and needs<\/span><\/a>. This is where you’ll be able to think through the most critical aspects of your project, such as coverage, capacity, cost, and time frame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>As you’re drafting these expectations, it’s vital that they’re written in a way that allows for flexibility if certain things don’t pan out as expected, (e.g., if demand exceeds capacity) and as a reference point for potential partners to assist with.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Now that you’ve understood what it means to implement a cellular DAS system, let’s look at how to budget for one.<\/span><\/p>\n Cellular DAS is a great way to improve cellular coverage, but you need to get the proper scope and budget.<\/span><\/p>\n You’ve put in the time, effort, and money to complete the job.
