Summary:
This 14-page white paper provides a tactical analysis of the total cost of distributed antenna system (DAS) ownership and addresses the most significant cost points through innovative DAS designs and features.

Topics covered in the paper include:

• TCO reduction starts with tactical DAS capex and opex analysis
• Optimizing DAS equipment installation time and cost and minimizing footprint can significantly decrease capex
• Five features that optimize DAS installation time and cost
• Alternate deployments methods such as C-DAS (centralized distributed antenna system) and DAS for the enterprise market lower capex and opex substantially
• Then, high signal quality and operation and maintenance tools will contribute to lower opex
• And finally, for enterprise applications, femto/microcells can certainly bring a compelling low cost variation to DAS
