April 7, 2016 — Northeast DAS & Small Cell Association (NEDAS) held its 4th Annual In-Building Wireless Summit in New York City on April 5 – 6. Over 100 attendees and 27 exhibitors gathered at the New York Academy of Medicine for the two-day event.

The first day comprised four educational workshops that covered topics: “Total Turnkey DAS,” ‘Understanding the Business Value of Addressing the DAS Near-Far Challenge”, “RAN & Subscriber Analytics” and “LTE Solutions with high Throughput Satellite Backhaul”.
Ilissa Miller, NEDAS President, kicked off the second-day program with “A Dose of DAS” introduction.

Throughout the day, a series of panels with industry participants yielded interesting discussions on “Digitizing our Arenas”, “Capacity Planning/Technology Developments” and “Fiber-to-the-X Trends”, “Integrator Solutions” and “Development in Mobile Antenna Technology”.
Presentations on special topics addressed “The Middleprise: They’re Not Too Big and Not Too Small, but They’re Just Not Right”, “The Edge: Where the End User Resides” and “The Carrier Conundrum: oDAS-Turnkey or Self Perform” along with highlights from several Case Studies.

A productive day left attendees looking forward to upcoming NEDAS events later this year.
