Our local laws are now that public safety radios must have the same signal inside new buildings as outside, so life safety radio DAS is mandatory for our last 3 buildings, as well as anything new in the future.
As far as cellular DAS, we looked into it with a few vendors and were told 7 figures per building, and since the carriers are pushing everyone to move to wifi calling, they won’t work with an institution our size even if we did have the money. Policy makers on campus decided the college does not have an obligation to provide cell service so the project died.

Hiya - What is the current state of DAS in Higher Ed? Are you using DAS systems on your campus? For coverage or capacity or both? Glad you did? I'm interested to hear stories. We have a few LEEDS buildings that are quite Faraday cage-like. Wonder if we should explore DAS, wait for wifi-calling, or what.... - Pete Hoffswell - Network Manager pete.hoffsw...@davenport.edu<mailto:pete.hoffsw...@davenport.edu> http://www.davenport.edu ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
