Q & A

Q: Why do some carrier signals penetrate my facility, but not others?

A: City density, building construction, and the wireless technologies themselves contribute to in-building penetration of outside signals. Horizon actually broadcasts wireless carrier signals inside of the building so you no longer have to rely on spotty coverage from the outside. And InnerWireless coordinates with the carrier to ensure that your in-building coverage and outside coverage coexist.


Carrier Coordination

Carrier Coordination simplifies and expedites the relationship between our customers and the wireless carriers. Ensuring cellular coverage is almost always the number one reason to implement a DAS; and getting connected to your required wireless carriers is key. But wireless carriers have both engineering and business case requirements for providing in-building coverage. You may only need one carrier at launch or many or you may even add carriers after launch. In any case, InnerWireless works on your behalf to get service from the wireless carriers.

Horizon and Horizon Fusion are both approved by every major carrier and an InnerWireless project manager works with the wireless carriers in a coordinated fashion:

  • Engage desired wireless carriers - scoping the project
  • If required, during the site survey, collect band scans of the in-building carrier signals
  • Identify required signal strength coverage for voice and/or data, plus determine capacity requirements based on number of users
  • Determine correct signal source for the carrier – a bi-directional amplifier, a micocell, or even a base station
  • Coordinate installation of Horizon and the carrier signal sources
  • Provide post-installation warranty and support

Having wireless carriers connected to Horizon at launch is key; however even if you decide to add carriers later, InnerWireless will work with you and the carriers to successfully support the Smartphones and other cellular devices that your operations require.
