The distributed antenna system (DAS) market rose 11 percent in H1 2014 to $1.1 billion, said Infonetics Research.
DAS revenue in H1 2014 grew 19 percent in North America. The report noted a slight pickup in the Chinese telecom market due to a shift from LTE 4G coverage deployments to coverage and capacity enhancement.
DAS drivers include coverage, capacity, spectrum efficiency, interference mitigation, data support, scalability, and adaptability.
Axell Wireless, CommScope, Corning Mobile and TE Connectivity are some of the leading vendors in the global DAS market.
“The U.S. has reached its DAS spending peak for LTE coverage and capacity enhancement, posting double-digit year-over-year growth during the first half of 2014 and signaling an upcoming slowdown,” said Stephane Teral, principal analyst for mobile infrastructure and carrier economics at Infonetics Research.
