Distributed Antenna Systems (DASs) have become a vital component for in-building cellular coverage, especially in the U.S. and Asian markets. However, many legacy DASs are facing challenges incorporating 5G and increasing the overall capacity of the systems.

The global RAN (Radio Access Network) baseband and small cell equipment market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of over 8% to exceed $32 billion in 2025, according to a new report published by ABI Research. These sales take into account both outdoor and indoor RAN equipment including macro basebands, outdoor small cells, indoor small cells, and DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems).
