SureCall Industrial and Commercial Cell Phone Signal Boosters are Passive Distributed Antenna Systems (Passive DAS). What is the difference between these and Active Distributed Antenna Systems (Active DAS)?
Passive DAS is a more economical alternative to Active DAS and the typical timeline is shorter than an Active DAS. |

I know that you absolutely need active DAS in some situations, but if you don’t passive DAS has to be an attractive alternative for any business that has issues getting a strong cell phone signal. The cost benefits and quick installation time are markedly different than active DAS.
I hope business owners either read these blogs or have good IT people who keep up on ways to increase their building’s cell phone signals. There seem to be different options between active DAS and passive DAS, then you have the factor of the cell phone booster added in. Hope people are doing their homework so they can maximize the power of their cell phones.
I couldn’t believe some of those figures for active DAS. Looks like a substantial savings if you install a passive system. Commercial outfits looking how to improve cell phone signal strength probably don’t have the extra money for an active system. However, what true advantages are there in putting in an active system? Seems like a bit of extravagant spending.
