E3 Systems - ADC Distributed Antenna System (DAS)

ADC Distributed Antenna System (DAS)

Product Code: IT00000

A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is used to enable GSM phones to be used below decks on vessels either with an onboard GSM base station when out of range of local services when working through the VSAT onboard or to access the local cellular services when in range.

Many cruise ships and yachts do not have sufficient network infrastructure to provide efficient communication services to passengers and crews. While demand for seamless wireless voice and data service on ships is greatly increasing, connecting with the world through a satellite phone or through a laptop is no longer sufficient.

Owners, guests and holiday makers often desire the same convenient and cost-effective communication methods as they have at home while traveling.

In fact, cruise lines and charter yachts that offer the ability to use your existing mobile devices are winning more business. We offer wireless solutions that address improved customer experience and improve staff communications and efficiency.

For cruise ships and other maritime vessels, ADC features UltraWAVE solutions. The all-IP IRO solution includes a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) and Mobility Gateway. Calls can be locally switched on the ship or through the on-shore switching centre, greatly improving staff communications and minimizing cost while offering guests seamless mobility. ADC's UltraWAVE Network-In-A-Box (NIB) provides an ideal solution for maritime communication applications such as large cruise ships, ferries and yachts.

When combined with ADC's InterReach DAS, coverage areas can be evenly distributed throughout the vessel. Local switching can be provided for passengers and crew, minimizing valuable satellite links. The NIB solution also offers the ease and flexibility to increase additional capacity by simply adding more BTS.
