Cellular coverage as the newest amenity
In a competitive real estate market, seamless indoor cellular is no longer a luxury — it is an expected amenity. Owners and managers must meet the demands of a tech-savvy workforce and resident base that relies on always-on connectivity for work, collaboration, security and everyday convenience. On a corporate campus, employees expect the same signal to follow them from building to building. And the things that make a modern building efficient are the same things that stop a signal — the better the envelope performs, the worse the coverage.
ANDREW® brings the mobile operators’ networks inside and distributes them across building cores and interior floorplates, elevators, stairwells and service corridors, parking structures and below-grade environments, amenity spaces, lobbies and common areas, residential towers and multi-dwelling interiors, and multi-building developments and campuses. Whether the answer is a building-wide distributed antenna system (DAS), targeted small cells or both, ANDREW designs it as a true neutral-host foundation — energy-efficient and ready to scale.
Challenges and opportunities
Reliable coverage now shapes tenant experience, building operations and property value. This is where in-building cellular coverage matters most.
Workplaces
Tenants expect mobility, collaboration and uninterrupted communication — delivered reliably throughout the property, floor to floor and between meetings:
Residential & mixed-use
Pervasive connectivity across living, working and entertainment spaces enhances resident satisfaction while supporting long-term property value:
Operations & security
A growing ecosystem of connected systems must function reliably throughout the property — including the challenging indoor and below-grade environments where connectivity is usually worst:
Deployments
Office buildings and corporate campuses
Business and technology parks
Multi-dwelling units and residential towers
Mixed-use developments
Parking facilities and transportation hubs
Large multi-building developments

Frequently asked questions
Answers about indoor signal, DAS, small cells, carriers, Wi-Fi and multi-building coverage.
The macro network was built to cover ground, not to get through it. The things that make a modern building efficient are the same things that stop a signal: low-emissivity glass that keeps heat out and RF with it, dense floor slabs, concrete cores and levels of parking below grade. A strong signal at street level can be nothing on the interior of the thirtieth floor — and adding towers outside does not fix it, because the building is the obstacle.
A DAS distributes every operator’s network across a large or complex building on one shared system; a small cell adds focused cellular capacity in a specific area. ANDREW offers both — the ERA® DAS platform and ONECELL® in-building small cells — and helps match the right approach, or a combination, to your building or campus portfolio.
Yes. ANDREW’s platform is one infrastructure, approved by global operators, carrying public cellular, private networks and public safety from pre-4G through 5G.
Yes — they do different jobs. Every property has Wi-Fi, usually several networks — base building, each tenant’s own, guest. A DAS or small cell brings the operators’ cellular networks to everyone, automatically, with nothing to join — and only cellular carries E911 that knows where the caller actually is rather than where the account is registered, Wireless Emergency Alerts to every device in the building and public-safety communications.
Yes. ANDREW scales from a single building to a multi-building campus portfolio on one shared system, so coverage follows people from building to building on any carrier.
Proven. ANDREW’s all-digital DAS is operating at scale today on more than a decade of digital deployments, and is first to connect all three major U.S. operators, across every major RAN vendor, digitally on one DAS — deployed at scale, not promised on a roadmap.
Let’s discuss how ANDREW can help get you there.
