Distributed Antenna System (DAS) Market - Forecasts from 2020 to 2025

The distributed antenna system (DAS) market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.97% to reach a market size of US$9.733 billion in 2025 from US$6.143 billion in 2019

The DAS market is expected to grow at a significant pace owing to the increasing data traffic and the growing trend of connected devices with the advent of the internet of things. The rising demand from consumers for extended network coverages with uninterrupted connectivity is burgeoning the market growth in the forecast period. The device is highly capable of providing networks in remote areas hence, the market holds strong potential in this application. Also, with the growing internet penetration, there is a significant increase in the number of internet subscribers, fueling the market demand in the forecast period. Furthermore, with the growing adoption of mobile devices such as smartphones, and tablets, the market is projected to soar in the forecast period.

The system is power efficient, hence, with the growing demand for the installation of power-efficient devices, the DAS system market will continue to grow in the forecast period. The system can be utilized for indoor and outdoor distribution of wireless connectivity. These are deployed in airports, subways, commercial buildings, roadway tunnels, and enterprises among others. The wireless services offered by the distributed antenna system include cellular, Wi-Fi, police, fire, Personal Communications Service (PCS), and emergency services. With the upcoming 5G technology, the market is expected to thrive in the coming years. DAS is considered to be a promising technology for devices running on 5G technology.

By geography, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold a significant market share with the growing infrastructure developments such as smart cities and green buildings in addition to the construction of other commercial buildings

The decrease in the mall vacancy rate and increase in investments in mall space is providing an opportunity for the market to grow in the upcoming years, hence, leading to enhanced production scale. This is majorly attributed to increased technological advancements and other creative innovations in this sector. The demand for the DAS system is poised to surge in the coming years with the growing need for connectivity in shopping malls, infrastructure development, and growing disposable income. Innovations such as integration of well-maintained food courts are quite appealing with a variety of culinary options for the public and that too at an affordable cost. The food & beverage section in the malls is slowly capturing high customer traction where visitors enjoy spending their time and have delicious cuisines. This has become a USP for all malls, hence, the growth in the development of shopping malls despite the booming online retail sales is offering high growth prospects for the market to prosper in the near future.

DAS is classified as active, passive, and hybrid. Passive DAS takes the cellular signal from outside and rings it inside and distributes it to the whole building. An active distribution system, on the other hand, helps in the creation of cellular signals for providing coverage. The distribution of the signal is made between a centralized signal source and remote DAS nodes placed around the building. The active system is used for accommodating large areas, for example, airports and arenas where millions of users can access the internet in a confined space. However, the installation of an active DAS is very complex and requires a huge investment of time, infrastructure and money.

Zinwave offers streamlined distributed antenna system for indoor connectivity. The company’s UNItivity 5000 is the latest innovative, streamlined DAS platform manufactured for meeting in-building cellular and public safety connectivity needs. These provide up to 80% space savings in addition to 17% energy efficiency. It consists of a built-in power supply for fewer parts and a universal mounting bracket which provides easy installation. This DAS platform provides the most cost-effective, flexible, and highest quality solution in the market. The simple DAS solution comprises five components which include primary hub, a secondary hub, optical module, service module, and a remote unit.

ComFlex DAS is designed for indoor distribution for both, commercial public mobile telecommunication network and private mobile network. The system contains two main components namely, Master Unit (MU) which serves as an interface for mobile base station and the Remote Unit (RU) which is known as amplification unit. The DAS system makes use of single optical fiber for supporting the multiband and duplex operation.

This innovation is attributed to the company’s international research and development efforts, the ComFlex DAS is developed by the veteran R&D team in the United States. The module is created in Mainland China with the design refined as per the customer need in the Hong Kong R&D center.

Key attributes of the ComFlex system are listed below

• Modular Design: This is capable of supporting highly flexible frequency band and redundancy configuration for adapting different scenarios and requirements, specifically in subways and railway tunnel.
• Flexible System Architecture: This supports daisy-chain of multiple RU clusters for extension of coverage.
• High power efficient and linear amplifier technologies: patented technologies for supporting multiple-technologies, multiple operators, signal amplification, in addition to minimizing the distortion of the original signal in high power application.
• Robust Fanless Mechanical Design: Particularly designed for extremely harsh environment.

Since the launch of the ComFlex DAS system in the market, it has been adopted in Hong Kong South Island Line, and Brazil 2014 World Cup, 2016 Summer Games stadiums. Also, these are applied in large venues, shopping malls, high-speed railway tunnel, metro, and stadium at the global level. Furthermore, this provides a wide-ranging wireless connection for mobile users around the globe.
