DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEMS (DAS) INSTALLATION SERVICES IN SOUTHWEST USA & CANADA
Custom Tailored Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)
In large commercial, industrial, or institutional facilities, reliable cellular and wireless signal coverage can be an ongoing challenge. Thick walls, complex building layouts, and vast areas can lead to weak signals, dropped calls, and slow data transmission, disrupting daily operations and reducing efficiency.
Logical Cabling provides tailored Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) designed to eliminate these pain points. With our expert team of Registered Communications Distribution Designers® (RCDD), we ensure seamless, dependable coverage that enhances connectivity and operational efficiency across your entire facility.
What Are Distributed Antenna Systems?
A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is a network of small antennas spread throughout a building to ensure consistent, reliable signal coverage. By distributing the signal through multiple antennas, DAS reduces the need for high-powered transmission from a single source. This system can improve wireless performance, lower energy consumption, and reduce interference, ensuring smooth communication in areas where traditional signals would struggle to penetrate.

System Design and Installation
Our DAS designs are fully customized to meet your facility’s specific needs. From the initial site assessment to system design and installation, we handle every aspect with precision. Our RCDD-certified team strategically places antennas throughout your building to ensure optimal wireless coverage. We then link the antennas with cables and amplifiers, performing thorough testing to fine-tune the system and guarantee top-tier performance.
Passive DAS
A Passive Distributed Antenna System is a great choice for facilities that need to extend existing wireless signals but don’t require advanced capacity or coverage over large areas. Passive DAS is typically recommended for medium-sized buildings such as warehouses, office buildings, and smaller healthcare facilities where the primary goal is to boost coverage from an external source.
Logical Cabling recommends Passive DAS for environments where signal interference is minimal and coverage needs are moderate. This solution is more cost-effective for buildings that don’t have a high concentration of users but still require reliable signal strength in areas with poor reception. Our team is highly skilled in installing and configuring Passive DAS, ensuring that the signal is properly amplified and distributed across your facility to meet your operational needs.
Active DAS
Active Distributed Antenna Systems are best for larger facilities or those with high-capacity needs, such as hospitals, airports, stadiums, and large commercial complexes. If your building has a high user density or spans a significant area, we recommend an Active DAS to ensure reliable, scalable coverage. Active DAS can integrate multiple carriers and provide seamless connectivity, even in areas where building materials or structures may interfere with signal strength.
Logical Cabling specializes in installing Active DAS solutions for complex environments where superior performance and capacity are essential. We use fiber optic cables to transmit signals from a centralized head-end to strategically placed antennas, ensuring that even the most remote areas of your facility receive strong, reliable wireless coverage. Our team handles the entire process from design to installation, guaranteeing that your system is optimized for performance and future-proofed for growing connectivity demands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Structured cabling is a standardized system used to support voice, data, and video transmission across a facility. It involves a well-organized, labeled system of cables and hardware that ensures high performance, scalability, and ease of management. Structured cabling is designed to meet the bandwidth requirements of the system and is tested to ensure it functions optimally. Although it may take longer to install and has a higher initial cost, it provides lower operational costs and a longer lifespan compared to unstructured systems.
- Structured Cabling: This system uses predefined standards, organized pathways, and connection points. It is well-organized, properly labeled, and tested to ensure proper performance. Although the installation may be more time-consuming and costly initially, it offers long-term benefits such as lower operational costs, scalability, and easier maintenance.
- Unstructured Cabling: Also known as point-to-point cabling, this system lacks predefined standards or organized pathways. It can lead to restricted airflow, cooling problems, higher energy costs, and difficulty in making future changes. While cheaper and quicker to install, unstructured cabling has a shorter lifecycle and is prone to extended downtime due to its disorganized nature.
Data center cabling refers to the wiring used within a data center to support data transfer and communication systems. This can be either structured or unstructured. Structured cabling uses predefined standards, allowing for easier management, scalability, and error-free operation. In contrast, unstructured cabling lacks organization and can cause issues such as cooling problems, higher energy costs, and difficult system management.
- Maximum Uptime: A structured cabling system makes it easier to add new hardware and avoid mistakes like disconnecting the wrong cable during moves, adds, and changes. This organized approach helps minimize downtime.
- Increased Scalability: Structured systems are modular, allowing for easy expansion as your network grows. New connections can be added with minimal disruption.
- Lower Operational Costs: The neat organization of structured cabling reduces confusion and the potential for costly mistakes. It is designed to support your network’s growth and hardware needs without additional complexity.
Performance is critical because cabling systems can directly impact the efficiency and reliability of your network. Factors like optical power budget, cabling system loss, and channel distance are interrelated. Exceeding optical loss budgets can lead to channel errors and potential downtime. Structured cabling systems designed with high-performance cables help prevent such issues, ensuring error-free operation and longer cable run distances.
Using high-quality cables ensures that your data center or network functions efficiently both now and in the future. Older fiber cables and lower-grade copper cables may not support modern systems’ requirements, such as reduced bend radius or high-speed data transfer. Using subpar cables might save money upfront, but they can cause significant operational issues and frequent downtime, leading to higher long-term costs. Opting for high-quality copper or fiber cables ensures longer-lasting, error-free performance.
