Expanding the frontiers of the

wireless world, indoors and out.
Wireless users today expect the ability to place calls and
access data everywhere, all the time. That ever-increasing
demand for coverage and capacity presents complex
challenges to wireless providers, transportation operators
and enterprise owners.
Fortunately, there is a simple answer: Distributed Coverage
and Capacity Solutions (DCCS) from CommScope.
We specialize in integrated end-to-end solutions that
deliver reliable wireless coverage virtually anywhere
invast stadiums and tall buildings, dense urban areas
and even deep underground.
Since 1988, weve built distributed antenna systems
(DAS) in dozens of the worlds most demanding locations.
And if you need a solution that will answer todays
coverage demands while helping you prepare for the
futureall at a low total cost of ownership
CommScope is the right choice.

Intelligent. Integrated. Efficient.

When you choose a distributed antenna system built by CommScope, you get
far more than a patchwork of components and cables. You get an integrated,
single-source system thats built from the ground up to deliver outstanding
reliability, quality of service and energy efficiency.
We dont simply solve your coverage and
capacity challenges. We solve them in the
most effective and efficient way possible,
applying unique expertise and intelligent
technology to build solutions that address
your business needsnot just connectivity,
but also energy use, maintenance costs,
andlong-term adaptability.
Unlike other suppliers, who use components
from multiple manufacturers, CommScope
isa true single-source provider. We build
integrated solutions using CommScope
components that are engineered to work
together seamlessly. That leads to more
flexible deployments that save space, use
lessenergy, and reduce overall cost.

The difference is evident in our results.

CommScope systems have proven their
reliability in premier venues like the 2010
World Cup Stadium in South Africa; the Burj
Khalifa, the worlds tallest building in Dubai;
and the Worlds Most Famous Arena,
Madison Square Garden in New York.
Our proven record of innovation and
decades of experience are key reasons why
CommScope is a trusted partner of wireless
service providers and enterprises around the
world, and why were the right choice for
your project.

Advanced CommScope technology:

Top-level performance. Bottom-line value.
CommScope sets the worldwide industry standard in DAS technologyliterally.
Many of our technological advances have been adopted industry-wide.
Oursolutions are flexible and energy efficient, with total integrationthat
streamlines installation, simplifies maintenance and minimizes costs, all
withinacompact, space-saving footprint.
As the leading manufacturer of DAS
equipment, CommScope was the first to
develop an off-air repeater solution with
integrated interference cancellation, the first
to use heat pipe technology for active thermal
management in high-power optical DAS
repeaters, and the first to build a fully
integrated, multi-band/multi-operator optical
DAS platform.

Looking to the future, we are developing the

next generation of DAS technology, featuring
distributed intelligence that will allow system
components to integrate and interoperate like
never before. And as wireless demand
continues to evolve, well be there at every
step, with leading-edge technology and
reliable solutions that work simply, and simply
workcleaner, smarter, and more efficient.

Our relentless focus on innovation shapes

everything we do. Each of our products is
designed and built with an eye toward
integration. As a result, our end-to-end
solutions require fewer components and less
installation space, reducing hardware and
installation costs while also saving energy.

Innovative engineering. Leading-edge

products. And the knowledge and experience
to answer virtually any wireless coverage and
capacity need. It all adds up to the highest
possible quality of service, at the lowest total
cost of ownership.

Success Story:
Piloting connections and
coverageatDubai Airport
At 11 stories tall, with over 19 million
combined square feet of floor space,
Concourse 2 / Terminal 3 at the Dubai
Airport is the worlds second-largest building*,
serving over 40 million travelers annually.
No ordinary DAS could provide coverage for
that many wireless users in so large a space.
Complicating matters, the main terminal,
concourse and parking lot are all
underground, and the building lacks sufficient
vertical risers for wireless infrastructure.
To meet the challenge, our experts developed
an active solution using some of our most
advanced technology. The result: a virtually
invisible, future-proof DAS that handles tens
of millions of connections each year.

www.commscope.com

We deployed a fiber-optic distribution

system to provide large, high-capacity
cells for all wireless services, including
GSM900/1800, UMTS and Tetra.
Our solution supports up to three
commercial wireless operators, plus
airport operations and police
communications.
We also extended GSM and UMTS
coverage into the Dubai Metro Red Line,
the worlds longest automatic train
connecting Terminal 3 to Terminal 1.
To ensure seamless integration and
prepare for future expansion, we
implemented our system while the
concourse and terminal buildings were
stillunder construction.

Success Story:
Connecting 100,000 fans for one
extraordinary dayand beyond

To augment the stadiums existing

CommScope system, we delivered:

As the site of the 2010 Super Bowl, Dallas

Cowboys Stadium played host to a massive
influx of fans, media, and emergency
response agencies. Add in the routine
stadium communications, and it was the
perfect storm of wireless demand.

Structured cable and wireless tie-ins

supporting multiple services and
applications

Fortunately, CommScope had implemented

the stadiums existing DAS before it first

Success Story:
Reliable connections at 250 kph
under the Alps
The Gotthard Base Tunnel is a masterpiece of
engineering and construction. Once open in
2016, it will be the worlds longest rail tunnel,
with two bores running 57 kilometers
between Switzerland and Italy.
The tunnel will allow trains to pass beneath
the Alps at speeds up to 250 kph. And
thanks to CommScope, passengers on those
trains will enjoy reliable wireless connectivity
for both calls and data. Our network will also
enable communications for train operations,
helping make one of the wonders of modern
transportation possible.

CommScope is providing:
A custom DAS capable of seamless,
high-speed handoffs of wireless in one of
the worlds most challenging underground
environments.
An extensive GSM-R system with multiple
hardware and system redundancies,
providing 99.999% communications
reliability.
Support for multiple services, including
operational frequency bands for Tetra/
Tetra Pol, GSM-R, and all frequency
bands for GSM900, DSC 1800 and
UMTS commercial wireless technologies.
Complex coordination with project
contractors for the unique build of
thetunnel.
