Common Challenges We Solve
Poor Cellular Coverage in Hangars
Steel structures, high ceilings, insulated wall panels, and large hangar doors can block or weaken outdoor cellular signals.
Communication Across Airports
Terminals, garages, maintenance buildings, tunnels, baggage areas, and administrative spaces may each have different wireless coverage challenges.
Passenger and Tenant Experience
Passengers, aircraft owners, corporate flight departments, and airport tenants expect dependable connectivity throughout their time at the facility.
Growing Digital Reliance
Aviation organizations and travelers increasingly rely on mobile applications, digital credentials, cloud-based tools, and real-time information. Reliable indoor connectivity supports these digital experiences.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is cellular coverage poor inside airplane hangars?
Hangars are commonly built with structural steel, metal siding, insulated panels, and large doors that can block or reflect cellular signals. Their large open interiors and high ceilings can also make coverage difficult without a professionally designed system.
Can a DAS support both hangars and attached offices?
Yes. A DAS can be designed to provide appropriate coverage across hangar floors, maintenance areas, offices, lounges, conference rooms, and other connected spaces.
Can Cellular DAS be installed in an operating aviation facility?
Yes. We coordinate closely with facility operators and other project stakeholders to schedule work safely and minimize interference with aircraft movements and daily operations.
Will a DAS support multiple cellular carriers?
Yes. A properly designed Cellular DAS can support multiple major carriers and may also support FirstNet, depending on the system design and project requirements.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance?
Yes. We provide ongoing service and maintenance to ensure your DAS continues to deliver reliable performance as your facility grows and changes.
