Study also details DAS technology and the goals surrounding its future deployments
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - August 22, 2016) - Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) began years ago with passive systems, donor antennas and coaxial cable. Today's DAS may look a bit different - with remote units, fiber, maybe even a CPRI connection or a small cell as the radio source, but the function is unchanged: to provide mobile coverage inside a building (iDAS) or in an outdoor area (oDAS).
iGR, a market research consultancy focused on the wireless and mobile industry, believes that most venues that need DAS - stadiums, hotels, airports, etc., - already have it. iGR also believes the market for oDAS is fading because solutions that use remote radio heads as small cells provide a similar level of coverage/capacity with better future flexibility for baseband hoteling and/or CRAN.
However, additional indoor and outdoor DAS are expected to be deployed in the U.S. in the next five years. iGR has recently published a new market study that forecasts the number of oDAS and iDAS for both commercial buildings and residential buildings, as well as the amount to be spent to build and operate the systems.
"DAS will continue to be an effective solution for providing additional mobile coverage," said Iain Gillott, president and founder of iGR. "The commercial building segment is where we believe most of the DAS growth will occur over the next five years."
iGR's new market study, U.S. Outdoor and Indoor DAS Forecast, 2015 - 2020: Still going with growth ahead, provides a five-year forecast for the number of DAS nodes and systems to be deployed in the U.S. The forecast further divides the indoor DAS market into commercial buildings and residential buildings (multiple dwelling units or MDUs). Additionally, the study provides a five-year forecast of spending to build and operate the DAS. Finally, the study details various types of DAS and other small cell technologies and the benefits and issues surrounding their deployment.
The following key questions are addressed in the new research study:
