Bird on a Wire……

This blog is industry related folks but not what we typically blog about at Harris Communications.  My day started with the routine cup of coffee and logging onto my computer.  I went to the local online paper this morning and I had to laugh when I read an article that talks about birds using a cell tower as “home”.

It is important to be able to determine the cellular signal in and around your building for us to provide an accurate budgetary cost to you. Check out the information below that details how to put the various cellular phones in test mode. If you do not see your particular cellular phone on our list feel free to contact us directly.

BDA’s are similar to the cellular broadcast towers used to broadcast by the network providers, but are much smaller, usually intended for use by one building. Modern cellular repeater amplifiers work by rebroadcasting cellular signals inside the building. The systems usually use an external, directional antenna to collect the best cellular signal, which is then transmitted to an amplifier unit which amplifies the signal, and retransmits it locally, providing significantly improved signal strength. The more advanced models often also allow multiple cell phones to use the same repeater at the same time, so are suitable for commercial as well as home use.

Harris Communications implements a multi- carrier repeater solution for the physicians lounge at Cleveland Regional Medical Center

Shelby, NC (February 23, 2009) Cleveland Regional Medical Center was seeking in-building cellular signal enhancement for the physicians lounge to facilitate cellular signals in a confined area. As an answer, Harris Communications custom designed and implemented the Distributive Antenna Solution (DAS) for all carriers to ensure adequate in-building cellular phone signal for the physicians lounge and surrounding area.
