Features:
Given the success of the previous tours we hosted in 2009 and 2010, we’ve made it a staple of the DAS Congress to demonstrate DAS in action. Do you have a DAS project you would like to highlight at this year’s Congress in Las Vegas? Whether it’s in a hotel, a retail environment, in an office building, a medical facility or campus setting, we’d like to hear from you as we’re accepting nominations now. For more information or to nominate your DAS project, email Kristy Perkins at K.Perkins@AmericanConference.com
iBwave User Group Meeting –
May 26, 2011
iBwave will be hosting their first official User Group on the day after the DAS Congress, May 26. The User Group will consist of one informative day with presentations on in-building industry trends, product roadmaps and key presentations from wireless operators, system integrators and equipment manufacturers. Additionally , you will earn industry key practices from a panel of experts and get to interact with in-building industry leaders. For more information, or to register for the User Group, click here

American Conference Institute’s 5th
Annual
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) Congress
May 21-23, 2012, Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas
The 2012 DAS Congress will highlight the emerging trends and technology in DAS with an emphasis on new and innovative concepts of DAS network design and equipment. Panel sessions will offer practical solutions, success stories (including what did not work), and cost analysis that will improve your existing business models. Add value to your business and hear what the leaders in the industry have to say about what is happening now and what is in store for the future of DAS.
End users are now taking a proactive approach in wireless network installation where in previous years carriers assumed the role. In addition to retrofitting their existing systems, end users are now installing conduits with the intention of implementing DAS as part of their business model for new construction. Outdoor and In-building DAS have increased in size and scope as venues such as strip malls, residential communities, hospitals, and hotels have ramped up their business models to include DAS as part of their network solution. It is also more common now for multi-carrier systems to deploy fiber based DAS for larger surface areas. Given these and other developments in the industry, it is more important than ever to hear what the end users have to say about their current processes and network design solutions for the future.
Carriers have responded to the demand for more capacity by deploying technology such as LTE/4G and femto cells. To increase efficiency and improve existing systems, wireless solutions have been developed, rolled out, and introduced to the market. Learn how carriers are implementing these innovative solutions to achieve broader bandwidth capability.
Some of the topics that will be highlighted at the 5th Annual DAS Congress include:
Development of LTE/4G Issues
- Highlighting the ways in which 4G will be distributed
- Understanding the co-existence of DAS and 4G
- Identifying the best ways to display 4G indoors
PICO Cells
- Improvements with PICO cells and multiple capacity
- Evaluating the impact of PICO cells
Evolving Concepts with WiFi in Small Cell Solutions
- Evaluating the problems with capacity and bandwidth
- Understanding the role of femto cells with WiFi
- Determining whether 4G is eliminating the need or use for WiFi
Public Safety
- Wading through NFPA regulations and its impact with municipalities
Liquidity in Capacity
- Shifting outdoor into indoor as capacity moves in and out
- Evaluating smart antennas, base stations and band pooling
- Looking at capacity in and among the components in a dynamic environment
- Analyzing the impact from the shift in passive to active
- Proposing solutions for preventing waste in capacity and leveraging to where it will be useful
- Identifying the procedures to centralize capacity
MIMO
- Justifying MIMO/4G for outdoor DAS
- Calculating the cost associated with installing MIMO
- Determining the capacity improvements associated with MIMO
Multi-beam antennas
- Whether multi-beam antennas is a solution for noise floor
- Stealing capacity/robbing resources in soft hand overload
