As the demand for speed and coverage increases, the telecommunication industry has gone beyond the conventional cell towers to include small cells and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). However, what makes these solutions differ from one another, and how do they help build the modern communication network?
Cell Towers: The Backbone of Wireless Communication
Wireless infrastructure refers to the most common and well-known form of cell towers, often called macro towers. The structures that are standalone and freestanding are equipped with antennas and other Telecom equipment to send signals over long distances.
Key Features of Cell Towers:
Coverage: Usually, they cover an area of a few square miles.
Height & Size: They are between 50 and 300 feet tall to provide the signal to a large area.
Capacity: They have a high ability to support a large number of users, thus they are suitable for rural and suburban regions.
Deployment: This calls for lengthy permits, zonings, and a lot of space to set up the structure.
Choosing the Right Solution
Each of these technologies is important for providing strong and reliable wireless service. Cell towers give broad coverage, small cells boost the connectivity in high-traffic areas, and DAS gives seamless indoor coverage. Making it possible to create a strong and interconnected network that can well address the challenges of modern communication.
