Enhance DAS with Private 5G Coverage

Deliver seamless cellular coverage across your entire facility—without the complexity of managing multiple systems. GXC DAS extends private LTE and 5G networks into large, complex, or RF-challenged environments through a single, centrally managed platform.

Built-in CBRS Compliance:

Both Active and Passive DAS architectures operate under full SAS coordination and leverage the Onyx Edge for power and grant management, ensuring consistent, high-quality coverage while maintaining complete regulatory compliance through the Onyx Edge and Domain Proxy.

DAS Architectures

Choose between Active and Passive DAS based on your venue requirements, infrastructure, and budget.

Active DAS

High-Performance Fiber Distribution

GXC Active DAS Architecture

Active DAS distributes the Access Point’s signal using RF over Fiber from a DAS Head End to multiple Transmission Points. Fiber transport minimizes signal loss and enables precise power control across long distances and multiple floors.

Key Features:
  • RF over Fiber distribution for minimal signal degradation
  • Low signal loss over long distances (500+ feet)
  • Centralized power management via DAS Head End
  • Ideal for large, multi-floor venues with complex layouts

Passive DAS

Cost-Effective Coaxial Distribution

Passive DAS distributes the Access Point’s RF signal through coaxial cabling using passive components such as splitters and couplers. This architecture offers a simpler and more cost-effective option for smaller or less complex deployments.

Key Features:
  • RF coax distribution throughout the system
  • No active amplification required
  • Lower cost and simpler installation process
  • Best for small to mid-size venues with shorter cable runs

Supported DAS Equipment

GXC supports integration with generic DAS equipment for both Active and Passive architectures.

Why GXC DAS?

End-to-End Integration:

By combining DAS with GXC access points, edge gateways, and centralized orchestration, enterprises can deploy complete private LTE and 5G networks that scale from a single building to multi-site campuses.

  • Single pane of glass management via Onyx Portal
  • Flexible architecture choices based on your venue
  • Automated SAS compliance—no manual grant management
  • Seamless LTE-to-5G upgrade path

Where DAS Fits Best?

Understanding when DAS is the optimal choice for your deployment.

Ideal Use Cases

  • Hospitals & Healthcare – Ensure critical communications reach every floor, including basements and shielded imaging rooms
  • Hotels & Convention Centers – Deliver guest-expected connectivity without visible infrastructure
  • Manufacturing & Warehouses – Enable real-time IoT and autonomous systems across sprawling facilities
  • Underground & Parking Structures – Extend coverage where traditional signals can’t penetrate

DAS vs Multiple APs

DAS excels in dense, RF-challenging indoor environments where centralized signal distribution and discreet antennas are required. Multiple APs are often better suited for open areas, outdoor coverage, or capacity-driven deployments.

Hybrid Approach: Many large deployments use a hybrid approach—APs outdoors and DAS indoors—to achieve optimal coverage and cost efficiency.
