Creating RF Predictable Environments for IBW Systems

The Problem

Building construction materials such as concrete, steel, and composite materials act as barriers to RF signals from outdoor macrocells from getting inside buildings in a uniform manner. How often have you had to go to the nearest window to get a strong enough cellular signal to make or take a call?  Wireless capacity and coverage issues can be solved with available in-building wireless systems such as a distributed antenna system (DAS), small cells, and bi-directional amplifiers (BDAs) or signal boosters. Such IBW systems are intended to provide uniform cellular coverage and capacity in high-traffic areas throughout the building
