When Seconds Matter… Coax Cables for Distributed Antenna Systems

There are times when poor radio reception is a minor annoyance. And there are times when it’s a matter of life and death.

As more and more wireless communications devices saturate the market, the number of cellular phone calls originating indoors continues to rise. In fact, some reports indicate that nearly 80 percent of all smart phone use occurs indoors, including a growing number of calls to 911, according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Many of the construction techniques and materials recommended to maximize building safety, conversely, can impact the safety of individuals in the building by weakening or even blocking external wireless communications signals. A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) can help resolve this dilemma by enabling reliable access to in-building wireless service for voice and data. [Read more…]

Rugged Coax Cables Aid Communication, Transportation Safety for DOT

American roads and bridges are the arteries that connect our businesses, communities and people. Information about road construction, weather conditions and traffic is important to the safety of the traveling public. Even more critical is timely communication about emergency situations to police, firefighters and other emergency services personnel.

Federal and state Department of Transportation (DOT) agencies are tasked with assessment and repair of the nation’s highways and interstates, as well as the communications networks needed to ensure transportation safety. For example, PennDOT recently installed a wireless communications network along the rural roads of Northwestern Pennsylvania.

Rugged Teflon coax cables from ABR are ideally suited for this type of DOT coax cable application. These thin coax cables are efficient and offer extremely high power capabilities, while delivering the durability needed to handle the elements along the nation’s back roads and urban highways.
