All,
We've been approached by wireless company to install a DAS
(distributed antenna system) throughout our campus. They would then
market the system to local carriers, which would increase their
coverage (we have pretty poor AT&T service on campus). There would be
revenue sharing and they've offered to assist in expanding our 802.11
coverage as well.
Just wondering if anyone else has entered into a similar agreement
with a wireless company, and how it's working out for you.
We worked a deal where verizon contracts with a third party to build a
DAS system on our campus. This system is a multi-vendor system with
verizon as the primary vendor. We are currently trying to get AT&T on
the system as well. We have about 5 buildings on it currently and are
doing a couple more this summer. The upside is it is all on verizon's
dime. The downside is it is also all on their schedule.
