IEEE 802.11-based wireless LANs are nearly ubiquitous in office environments, where they overlay wired communications systems. A recent trend has seen some users also deploying distributed antenna systems (DAS) inside their buildings for the purpose of supporting wireless personal communications systems. This webcast seminar will discuss the rising tide of in-building DAS and explore its co-existence with traditional 802.11-based wireless systems.

Presentation 1: The rise of in-building distributed antenna systems
This presentation discusses why increasing numbers of user organizations are deploying in-building DAS, explaining the technological needs and business justification for such deployments. It also describes the different cabling systems that support DAS and offers guidance on which systems are most appropriate for which environments.

Presentation 2: The co-existence of DAS and 802.11 WLAN
Users may see the installation of a DAS as an opportunity to get “two-for-one” wireless systems, and plan to run their 802.11-based wireless traffic on the DAS. This presentation takes a “dos and don’ts” approach to that concept, clearly explaining the advantages and pitfalls of WLAN-over-DAS.

Presentation 3: Verifying your wireless infrastructure
Whether you’re talking about a DAS or an 802.11-based wireless system, users can benefit from any verification that their installed system will work as expected. This presentation discusses what can and should be done before, during and after system installation to provide a level of assurance that the completed system will function properly.

This webcast seminar will discuss the rising tide of in-building DAS and explore its co-existence with traditional 802.11-based wireless systems.
