Manley Solutions designed and deployed a multi-carrier indoor DAS supporting approximately 500,000 square feet at a U.S. military installation.
Large government facilities often suffer from poor indoor cellular coverage. Reinforced concrete, structural steel, low-emissivity glass, and below-grade areas block cellular signals from reaching the building interior. For military installations, reliable indoor wireless coverage supports operational communications, personnel connectivity, and safety.
Solving indoor cellular coverage across a large facility requires a professional RF assessment to understand the signal environment, followed by a system design tailored to the building's construction and coverage requirements.
Manley Solutions' IndoorDAS division conducted a comprehensive RF assessment to measure signal strength from available carriers throughout the facility. The assessment identified coverage gaps and informed the design of a multi-carrier distributed antenna system (DAS) appropriate for the building's size and construction.
The system design selected the appropriate DAS architecture — passive, active, or hybrid — based on the facility's coverage requirements. Equipment selection, antenna placement, and cabling infrastructure were engineered to provide uniform indoor coverage.
Following design, the system was installed with professional installation of donor antennas, amplifiers, cabling, and indoor coverage antennas. After installation, the system was commissioned and tested to verify that coverage met design specifications throughout the facility.

The project drew on several Manley Solutions capabilities:
Indoor cellular coverage is increasingly essential for operational communications, personnel connectivity, and safety within large government facilities. This project demonstrates Manley Solutions' ability to assess, design, and deploy indoor wireless infrastructure at scale within a military environment — where reliability and professional execution are critical.
The engagement also illustrates the importance of a professional RF assessment before selecting a coverage solution. A signal booster and a DAS are not interchangeable; the right solution depends on building size, construction, and the signal environment.
