While excavating for a new building it was discovered the land was an ancient burial site, and construction was stopped. When it resumed after three years, the originally specified DAS hardware manufacturer, FiberSpan, had filed bankruptcy. Additionally, carrier technologies and performance requirements had changed significantly, requiring a complete system VE redesign to minimize budget impact. Increased antenna density required painstaking coordination with our install team and other trades to reduce device clutter in the ceiling, maintain adequate isolation from all possible sources of RF interference, and preserve the wood panel ceilings in the hallways. While tight budgets made it impossible to meet 100% of the carrier requirements. DAS Simplified worked with the end user and carriers to negotiate acceptable performance levels.
