Real estate is not what it used to be. Nowadays it’s not enough to just have a great space in a brilliant location, there’s a whole more that goes into it. Water, gas, and electricity have a new companion, cellular connectivity. Ask any realtor about the importance of cell phone connectivity at their properties and they’ll tell you all about it. After all in-building connectivity has a direct impact on the ROIs of any property. From happier tenants to meeting safety requirements, connectivity is essential for all purposes of the modern world.
DAS Solutions increase the bottom line for CREs
The simplest way to increase in-building cellular connectivity is by using a technological solution for it; in particular – distributed antenna systems or DAS. DAS solutions promise seamless network coverage for all carriers which greatly improves the value of your property and gets you the highest value for your buck in terms of tenants and renters. And with the advent of IoT applications, the entire tenant experience is being reimagined to enable features such as efficient building operations using a building management system, enhanced tenant relationships, and new revenue generation opportunities.
In simple words, the use of technology is intertwined with commercial real estate (CRE). A smart building or an ultra-smart workplace is a huge selling point for several tenants and owners who are futureproofing their infrastructure are increasing their bottom line significantly.
So what does a DAS solution for CRE mean?
Apart from improving the in-building cellular coverage, there are a few other things to look at here: primarily cost reductions, improved security, and easier management.
Cost Reductions: The cost of installing a DAS system has come down drastically and this has made the solution a lot more feasible. In terms of the overall spending budget, DAS requires a small amount that goes a long way which can also be charged as a nominal fee to renters. So in the long run you can find this solution paying for itself.
Improved Security: There is a growing concern about security, both data and physical. In terms of data security, a secure cellular network is much better than a public Wi-Fi system. When it comes to physical security, a cellphone-enabled alert system easily triumphs over a shared Wi-Fi system. But that’s not all there is to it, good in-building communications for emergency first responders is a top priority as well. Commercial DAS has a key role in improving the safety of the tenants as well as the first responders.
Easier Management: By leveraging DAS to its fullest, enabling IoT solutions, and crafting custom experiences, owners find it much easier to manage their building. From foot traffic to repairs, these management solutions go a long way in reducing stress and last-minute problems. This also means happier tenants who like being in the building which allows for longer contracts and stays.
