Zinwave-powered system eliminates carrier BTS requirements and long lead times for mid-sized enterprise buildings
Wilson Connectivity, a leader in wireless communication technology, today announced a Hybrid DAS solution that dramatically reduces deployment timelines by leveraging Part 20 and appropriate global certifications. The system combines WilsonPro bidirectional amplifier simplicity with Zinwave’s fiber-optic DAS architecture, eliminating the need for expensive carrier-provided base stations that can extend project timelines by months for buildings of 100,000-500,000 square feet.
The hybrid approach eliminates the need for costly carrier-provided base stations while maintaining enterprise-grade performance through Wilson Connectivity’s fiber-optic distribution system. The solution delivers 80% space savings compared to competitive DAS configurations and operates 17% more energy efficiently, addressing critical infrastructure constraints in mid-sized commercial buildings.
“Traditional DAS deployments can take carriers months or even years to approve, creating significant delays for enterprises needing immediate wireless coverage solutions. Our customers report average deployment times of 6-8 weeks compared to 12-18 months for traditional carrier-depending DAS systems,” said Bruce Lancaster, CEO of Wilson Connectivity. “Our Hybrid DAS leverages regional certifications to deploy immediately using existing macro signals, then provides the flexibility to add carrier base stations later without ripping and replacing installed infrastructure.”
The Zinwave 8000 architecture supports both wideband and channelized optimization—a capability unique among hybrid DAS solutions—and accommodates SISO, 2×2, and 4×4 MIMO configurations. The broad-spectrum coverage from 150MHz to 5GHz enables future expansion across low-band and mid-band cellular, CBRS private networks, two-way radio, and public safety frequencies through simple head-end radio additions.
Proven Performance Across Industries
The system’s scalability and versatility render it an appropriate fit for a range of applications, from corporate campuses to school campuses to healthcare campuses that demand dependable communications for both operational effectiveness and emergency response.
The solution is compatible with all major operators and works within the current building infrastructure to reduce installation disruption and lower deployment costs. The modular design of the system also offers a clear migration path to full active DAS setups as needs change.
Wilson Connectivity Hybrid Solution supports:
- 600MHz (Band 71), 700MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz, 2100MHz, FirstNet (Band 14), and CBRS bands with C-Band & Public Safety capabilities
- Up to 64 remote units per BDA with RF-over-fiber distribution to secondary hubs
