NextG Launches DAS Wireless Network in Less Than Eight Months
-Innovative Network Enhances Wireless Performance For Ocean-Side Community-
SAN JOSE, CA - NextG Networks, the leading provider of Distributed Antenna System (DAS) networks, announced it launched a DAS Network in Del Mar, California, which was fully operational in less than eight months. The Network enhances the wireless performance for the ocean-side community by filling in coverage gaps and increasing the capacity of the existing infrastructure.
"The NextG DAS Network is a carrier-class system that was installed and carrying traffic in record time," said Steve Casey, Cingular's executive director of network operations. "It is a significant cooperative project enabling us to provide coverage and support for our new high-speed wireless services for the residents and visitors to Del Mar."
Equally important to enhancing the mobile performance for this ocean-side community, NextG's system met the city's desire for unobtrusive network equipment with minimal impact to the environment.
"The City of Del Mar has a long-standing commitment to preserving our community's natural setting," said Del Mar City Council member Crystal Crawford, who was mayor during the development and launch of the network. "I really appreciated how NextG Networks worked with us to make the DAS Network as unobtrusive as possible. As a long-time cellular customer, I can personally attest to the improved mobile coverage."
NextG's DAS Networks use strategically placed low-power, fiber-optic-fed antenna nodes that blend very well with the surrounding landscape by using existing street lights and utility poles. The DAS Networks also are protocol-neutral, scaling easily to support multiple wireless carriers, services, and technologies.
"The challenge in cities such as Del Mar is to design and deploy a mobile communications system that is not noticed by most residents, yet supports the carriers' services for voice, instant messaging, ringtone downloads, Internet surfing and all the new services," said John Georges, CEO and co-founder of NextG Networks. "This Network can support any carrier that wants to offer service in Del Mar."
