Distributed Antenna Systems Maintenance
Reduce costs

Improve quality and consistency
Ensure continuous revenue generation
DISTRIBUTED ANTENNA SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE
As mobile phone users expect ubiquitous
coverage and enhanced data services, mobile
service providers are looking for new, more
cost-effective ways of delivering on those
demands. They also need to deploy new
services, such as on-demand TV, video and
music services. ADC’s Digivance Distributed
Antenna Systems (DAS) provide a cost-
effective solution to these challenges.
As with all systems, a telecommunications
network is only as good as the degree
to which it is maintained, and DAS is no
exception. A DAS network typically results
in more numerous radiating points, often
on utility or light poles, and introduces
unique maintenance requirements.
Network maintenance is essential to sustain
operational integrity. As well, managed
maintenance services can reduce the overall
costs of network ownership. A well-
maintained network, serviced by technicians
with the widest possible array of equipment
and facilities expertise, decreases service
disruptions caused by faulty elements and
reduces expenditures for emergency service.
As the market leader in deploying digital DAS
systems, ADC Professional Services offers a
complete suite of maintenance services for
your DAS network. ADC offers scheduled
preventive and emergency corrective
maintenance services for DAS networks
that help carriers:
• Ensure ongoing revenue generation
• Reduce the overall cost for network
maintenance
• Improve network performance
• Ensure quality and consistency
• Consolidate and streamline maintenance
processes
