Distributed Antenna System Market by Technology, Type (Active, Passive, Hybrid), Coverage (Outdoor and Indoor), Operator (Carrier, Enterprise, Neutral Host) and Industry Vertical 2023

List of Tables

Overview:

This report assesses the Distributed Antenna System (DAS) ecosystem and its impact on wireless network infrastructure deployment and operations including outdoor and indoor environments.

It also analyzes the relationship between DAS and various supporting technologies such as self-organizing networks, artificial intelligence, and 5G smart antenna techniques. The report provides forecasts for DAS equipment, applications, services and system deployment from 2023 to 2028.

The report evaluates the market by coverage (outdoor and indoor), DAS type (active, passive, and hybrid), operator type (carriers, enterprise, and neutral hosts), and industry vertical use cases and related market opportunities.

Use cases include consumer devices, factory automation, connected vehicles and various IoT-enabled services (People to People, People to Machine, and Machine to Machine). The report takes into consideration many optimization issues such as coverage, capacity, and spectrum management.

Select Report Findings:

Global DAS market will reach $14.5B USD by 2028, growing at 14.2% CAGR

DAS market associated with 5G smart antennas will reach $7.8B USD by 2028

Indoor DAS has growth potential of seven times that of outdoor implementation

Active DAS deployments will lead the market followed by hybrid and passive DAS

North America will lead the overall market in terms of DAS deployments and revenue

5G smart antenna systems depend upon DAS and are therefore complementary markets

Leading ownership and control of DAS will be carriers, enterprise and neutral hosts respectively

DAS represents a network of spatially separated antenna nodes, connected to a common source via a transport medium that provides wireless service within a geographic area or structure. DAS leverages Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology, which allows networks to take advantage of multiple signals as a means of optimizing wireless communications.

A DAS installation includes antennas, control boxes, and fiber optics connected to a hub. These Nodes include small antennas that unobtrusively blend into their environment. Often deployed at existing public infrastructure (such as utility poles, light posts, and traffic signals), DAS networks rely upon the ability to seamlessly blend into their environment, which may be outdoor or indoors.

Fifth generation wireless is becoming a major catalyst for growth in advanced antenna systems. 5G antennas will be found virtually everywhere in metropolitan areas, but it will not be enough. While dramatically increased coverage will surely support many early 5G applications, such as fixed wireless (ISP alternative, back-haul, and front haul), it will not be enough to support continuous 5G mobility coverage.

This will be vitally important for certain applications such as self-driving cars and connected vehicle services. MIMO and DAS will play a critical role in supporting the RF environment necessary to support related applications.
