Indoor Cellular & DAS

Full-strength cell service inside your building, for every carrier.

If calls drop or phones show one bar once people walk inside, the building is blocking the carrier signal. We design and install systems that bring Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile service indoors, from a single floor to an entire campus.

What it is

A cell tower’s reach, extended inside your walls.

Modern buildings are great at keeping weather out and just as good at keeping cell signal out. Low-E glass, concrete, steel, and below-grade floors block the radio waves phones depend on.

An indoor cellular system captures a clean carrier signal, carries it through the building over cabling, and rebroadcasts it from small ceiling antennas near the people using it. Phones connect automatically. No app, no Wi-Fi login, no settings to change.

  • DAS = Distributed Antenna System
  • Works for Verizon, AT&T & T-Mobile
  • Carrier-approved equipment
How indoor cellular worksBuilding section: outdoor carrier signal is blocked by glass and steel. A donor antenna on the roof feeds a headend in the basement, a riser carries signal to every floor, and ceiling antennas serve phones on each floor and below grade.05INDOOR CELLULAR / DAS · BUILDING SECTIONNTSGRADE ±0'MACRO / CARRIERLOW-E GLASS / STEEL−105 dBm INSIDEL4-65 dBmL3-66 dBmL2-67 dBmL1-65 dBmB1-66 dBmHUB12341DONOR ANTENNA2HUB / HEADEND3RISER · FIBER / COAX4CEILING ANTENNASSECTION · NOT TO SCALE · MULTI-CARRIERNETTELIXWIRELESS · DESIGNSHEETC-05

What it solves

The problems your people already complain about.

If any of these sound familiar, the building is blocking carrier signal, and more Wi-Fi won’t fix it.

Dropped and failed calls

Calls cut out when people walk in the door, or never connect at all.

Business impactMissed customers, frustrated staff, and people stepping outside to take calls.

Dead zones

Basements, stairwells, elevators, parking decks, interior rooms, and back-of-house areas show “No Service.”

Business impactFacilities, security, and maintenance teams can’t be reached where they work.

One carrier works, the others don’t

Verizon users are fine, AT&T and T-Mobile users aren’t, or the reverse. Each carrier uses different towers and frequencies.

Business impactHalf your workforce or tenants have a bad experience.

Slow mobile data

Apps spin, texts and photos hang, and authentication codes arrive late.

Business impactMobile workflows, MFA sign-ins, and field apps stall indoors.

Safety and 911 calls

Most 911 calls today come from mobile phones. A building without reliable signal is a safety gap.

NoteFirst-responder radio coverage (ERRCS/BDA) is a separate, code-driven system. We can scope both together.

Devices that depend on cellular

Payment terminals, tablets, alarm panels, elevator phones, and IoT gateways that run on carrier service.

Business impactTransactions, alerts, and building systems fail silently.

Why you need it

Cell service is now a building utility.

People expect their phone to work everywhere, just like lights and water. When it doesn’t, they blame the building, the employer, or the landlord.

01

Energy-efficient buildings make it worse

Low-E coated glass and tighter construction save energy but block cellular signal. Newer and renovated buildings often have the worst indoor coverage.

02

Wi-Fi calling isn’t a complete fix

It depends on each person’s phone settings, your Wi-Fi, and the carrier. It doesn’t help visitors, handoffs often drop calls, and it does nothing for cellular-only devices.

03

Safety and liability

People need to reach 911 from anywhere in the building. Many jurisdictions also require first-responder radio coverage in new construction.

04

Tenants, talent, and property value

Reliable coverage is now a leasing and retention question. Prospective tenants and employees check their phones on the first walkthrough.

How it compares

Wi-Fi calling, boosters, and DAS aren’t the same thing.

The right answer depends on building size, carriers needed, and how much traffic the space carries.

Right-sized options

Three ways to solve it, sized to your building.

We start from your floor plans and carrier coverage, add onsite signal readings when the building needs them, then recommend the smallest system that fixes the problem.

SMALL SPACES

Smart signal booster

A carrier-approved, two-box system that captures outdoor signal and rebroadcasts it indoors. Ideal for a floor, a suite, or a small building with a usable outdoor signal.

Fits
Single floors, branch offices, clinics, retail
Carriers
1–3
Signal source
Outdoor donor antenna
MID-SIZE BUILDINGS

Active DAS (hybrid)

A central hub with coverage units on each floor, connected over standard Ethernet cabling. It covers multiple floors or buildings without the cost and timeline of traditional DAS.

Fits
Offices, schools, hotels, hospitals, warehouses
Carriers
Multi-carrier, plus an optional private LTE/5G port
Cabling
Standard Ethernet, with fiber for longer runs
LARGE & HIGH-TRAFFIC

Enterprise DAS & small cells

Carrier-fed signal sources distributed over fiber for large venues and dense crowds, where capacity matters as much as coverage.

Fits
Stadiums, high-rises, large hospitals, campuses
Carriers
All major carriers, coordinated
Source
Carrier small cells or base stations
Vendor-neutral, carrier-approved equipment

We select from leading carrier-approved platforms that are safe for the carrier network and install in days rather than months. When a site needs traditional DAS or carrier small cells, we coordinate that too.

How we deliver

From “no bars” to full coverage.

Right-sized to your building, from floor plans or an onsite survey.

  1. Assess

    Review floor plans and carrier coverage, with onsite signal readings when the building needs them.

  2. Design

    Choose the signal source and system, place antennas, and predict coverage on your floor plans.

  3. Deploy

    Handle carrier, owner, and local authority requirements, then install over standard cabling pathways with minimal disruption.

  4. Verify

    Test coverage after install when the project calls for it, and hand over the documentation.

  5. Manage

    With Managed Connectivity, we monitor the system and handle carrier changes after go-live.

Many buildings can be designed from floor plans and a predictive heatmap that shows where each indoor antenna goes and the coverage to expect.

Indoor cellular often benefits from onsite signal readings, because the design depends on how strong each carrier’s signal is at your building. We’ll tell you up front which approach your project needs.
