Aesthetic-sensitive communities

Coverage without the towers.

Suburban communities often reject 50-foot cell towers. Aesthetic-friendly DAS brings coverage and capacity with equipment people barely notice.

Why communities push back.

Tall cellular towers damage a community’s look, so many local communities won’t allow carriers to build them. Neutral-host DAS operators have proposed outdoor DAS on utility poles instead, but bulky pole-mounted equipment still meets strong resistance because it’s an eyesore from the sidewalk.

Aesthetic-friendly DAS design is crucial to overcoming that resistance.

Small enough to disappear.

Hybrid DAS applications build outdoor coverage and capacity in a cost-effective, aesthetic-friendly way. The small form factor attaches easily to utility poles or rooftops with a low cost of ownership, which matters on projects in challenging terrain where repeater locations and coverage are limited.
