The network of antennas that your telecommunication company uses is important to your daily operations and success. You need this network to function properly and avoid interfering with the networks of other telecommunication companies in the area. To ensure that your network is secure and reliable, you can hire a distributed antenna system integrator to build it for you. These important qualifications are some to look for in a DAS integrator for your business.

Manufacturer Certification

One of the foremost qualifications to look for in a distributed antenna system integrator is his or her manufacturer certification. Manufacturer certification not only shows that your integrator has the ability to design and build a network for you. It also shows that this integrator is legitimate and not someone who lacks the training, knowledge, and skills to create a reliable network.

Manufacturer certification also implies that your DAS integrator is capable of joining a network design team and can be effective in designing a system of antennas that will be an asset to your business. Your integrator will know how and where to place your company's indoor antennas so that they operate efficiently and provide you with reliable service.

Software Design Capabilities

Another qualification to look for in your distributed antenna system integrator is his or her ability to design software for your network. The industry standard for software design is IBWave. If the integrator has the training and certification to use IBWave to design your software, you can be assured that this integrator is a legitimate contractor.

However, you can also be sure that he or she can design software for your system if he or she is well-versed in the local radio frequencies used by companies in the area. Your integrator should also know about the local public safety and carrier frequencies when designing software for your business.

Avoiding Public Safety Radio Interference

Finally, your distributed antenna system integrator should also know how to avoid compromising public safety radio frequencies when setting up your antenna network. The system should not interfere with the frequencies that first responders and police use to respond to public emergencies. Interfering with public safety radio frequencies can result in the FCC fining your business hundreds or thousands of dollars.

These qualifications are some to look for in a legitimate distributed antenna system integrator. Your DAS integrator should design software and be certified by numerous manufacturers. Call an integrator near you to learn more.
