Tempest Telecom Solutions, a supplier of infrastructure
equipment and related services to carriers and network operators, announced its
acquisition of Leaf Communication Services, a Western Regional DAS and
In-building wireless Design, Implementation and Maintenance company, further
diversifying Tempest’s broad capabilities in the 2G, 3G and 4G network services
market.
Carriers are focusing their resources on increased
network capacity and coverage to satisfy the overwhelming demand that mobile
data and smart devices are placing on their networks. Much of this demand
occurs indoors; in office buildings, schools, stadiums, hospitals, and other
large enterprise campus environments across the country.
This trend is driving the need for more distributed base
station solutions and the deployment of more Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)
to increase the signal strength inside these complex facilities. DAS solutions
are widely considered the most efficient and effective method to boost
in-building signals that provide quicker data transmission rates and increased
network capacity overall.
Virtually all of our Wireless Carrier customers are
seeing a growing need to more broadly deploy sophisticated In-building wireless
and DAS systems to further enhance their network performance. However, they
were having a hard time finding qualified, reliable, and adequately capitalized
service partners to do so,” said Jessica Firestone, chief executive officer of
Tempest.
And now with our acquisition of Leaf Communication
Services, one of the leading providers of In-building and DAS solutions for
major carriers in the Western United States, Tempest is very well positioned to
meet this growing need,” Firestone added.
With this acquisition, Tempestwelcomes Dan
Leaf, president and founder of Leaf Communication Services, to its management
team as their Director of Operations, DAS Division.
In this newly created position, Dan will continue to
focus on providing industry leading customer service and quality in the
delivery of the most advanced and affordable DAS and In-building wireless
solutions available in the marketplace.
In order to fully respond to the growing demand for our
services, and to insure that my customers are best served, I selected a partner
that could not only provide the infrastructure and capital resources necessary
to meet this growing demand, but also one that shared my vision for building a
national DAS and In-building wireless capability, specifically designed to meet
the unique needs of the demanding Carrier Services Market,” said Dan Leaf,
director of Operations, DAS Division at Tempest.
