In the ever-evolving landscape of telecommunications, Active Distributed Antenna System (DAS) solutions are emerging as a pivotal player in the 5G era, presenting a mutually beneficial proposition for both Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Neutral Host Companies. Here's a closer look at why these solutions are gaining traction:

For MNOs, the transition to 5G networks entails substantial operational and capital expenditures. While outdoor solutions provided by major vendors are crucial, Active DAS offers a cost-effective means to bolster indoor coverage. Moreover, deploying DAS across numerous buildings for enhanced indoor connectivity can be financially daunting. Active DAS solutions enable multiple operators to utilize the same indoor network infrastructure, thereby reducing investment burdens for each operator.

Neutral Host Companies stand to gain from leveraging Active DAS to construct indoor networks capable of supporting advanced functionalities like 4x4 MIMO. Existing buildings with 2G/3G/4G coverage can seamlessly integrate a 5G layer without disrupting the current indoor network infrastructure. For newly constructed buildings, a mere 1-2 fiber cores suffice to accommodate all frequencies and technologies, including 4x4 MIMO, eliminating the need for four feeder cables per antenna head.

This strategic approach streamlines the process of persuading operators to lease indoor networks, thereby lowering both operational and capital expenditures while expediting network deployment timelines.
