Zinwave to Demonstrate Public Safety DAS at Critical Communications MENA

System Delivers Public Safety Service Plus Future-Proof Support without Hardware Upgrades

DALLAS - Monday, October 31st 2016 [ME NewsWire]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Zinwave, a global provider of wideband distributed network solutions for in-building wireless, today announced that it will showcase its UNItivity distributed wireless access solution (DAS) at the Critical Communications MENA show being held on November 7-8 at the Dubai World Trade Center in Dubai. In booth A6, Zinwave will demonstrate the industry’s only DAS that supports all current public safety frequencies and can accommodate the addition of future frequencies without the need for hardware upgrades.

UNItivity’s wideband architecture supports frequencies from 150 to 2700 MHz, providing access for any public safety frequency. In addition, UNItivity uses a streamlined design that includes just two components: a primary/secondary hub, and a thin, ceiling-mounted remote unit, so installation and maintenance is less expensive than with other, more complex DAS systems. Zinwave also offers a waterproof enclosure for remote units that protects the DAS from water, smoke and other environmental factors.

As an all-fiber system, Zinwave’s UNItivity DAS is an ideal solution for large facilities like airports, hospitals, and hotels because cabling can extend for more than a dozen kilometers while delivering uniformly high performance at each antenna location. UNItivity also delivers the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) because it natively handles a wide range of current and future public safety frequency bands, so expensive equipment upgrades aren’t needed when new bands go into service.

“Public safety wireless coverage is a requirement in many new buildings, and a DAS is the most effective way to provide it,” said Scott Willis, president and CEO at Zinwave. “Zinwave’s wideband DAS architecture delivers outstanding performance with the industry’s lowest TCO, making it the best choice for public safety deployments.”
