Wilson Connectivity today announced a Hybrid DAS solution that shortens deployment from years to weeks, while cutting costs and energy consumption for mid-sized commercial buildings.
The Hybrid DAS combines WilsonPro bidirectional amplifier simplicity with Zinwave’s fiber-optic DAS architecture. This eliminates the need for expensive carrier-provided base stations that can delay projects by months for facilities of 100,000–500,000 square feet.
"Traditional DAS deployments can take carriers months or even years to approve," said Bruce Lancaster, CEO of Wilson Connectivity. "Our Hybrid DAS leverages regional certifications to deploy immediately using existing macro signals, then adds carrier base stations later without ripping and replacing infrastructure."
The system delivers 80% space savings and 17% greater energy efficiency compared to conventional DAS solutions. Broad coverage from 150MHz to 5GHz supports low- and mid-band cellular, CBRS, two-way radio, and public safety frequencies with modular expansion options.
Key capabilities include:
- Supports 600MHz, 700MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz, 2100MHz, FirstNet, CBRS, and public safety bands.
- Accommodates SISO, 2x2, and 4x4 MIMO with wideband and channelized optimization modes.
- Up to 64 remote units with RF-over-fiber distribution to secondary hubs.
- Dynamic scanning for continuous monitoring of outdoor signals across channels.
- Multi-tower targeting with configurable antenna designs for simultaneous reception.
- Open modular design enabling future addition of new bands and technologies.
The solution is suited for corporate, healthcare, and education campuses, where reliable, scalable communications are critical. It is available now through Wilson Connectivity’s certified partner network.
