I fantasized of using spray-on antenna for DAS world, by starting a business of those motivational posters you see hung in the offices (see one sample below); but in reality, it would be an indoor antenna. If nothing else, I can probably spray it on my balding head and become a human antenna.
But my excitement has slowly fizzled. It's been almost a year, and haven't really seen any spray-on antenna. Back in February of 2012, Chamtech stirred up RF community (at least me) with a claim of developing spray-on antenna, it said was more lightweight and energy-efficient than current technology. The antenna can be "painted" onto almost anything, including trees, walls and fabrics. Anthony Sutera, CEO of Chamtech, even presented this at Google's inaugural "Solve for X" shindig.

Managing a Large Scale DAS Deployment - Post 1
The concept of Iron Triangle comes from the field of Project Management. Iron Triangle "is a model of the constraints of project management. It is often used to illustrate that project management success is measured by the project team's ability to manage the project, so that the expected results are produced while managing time and cost." (Source: Wikipedia)
From deployment perspective, in DAS Project Management, there is also an Iron Triangle. They are:
These 3 are the most crucial factors for DAS deployment. If any of these 3 factors are compromised your project can be in jeopardy. In the next few weeks I will write about managing a large scale DAS project, what kind of problems you may face and how to resolve them.

Can Security Solutions be part of DAS components?
AT&T Mobility's CEO Ralph de la Vega recently announced that it can maximize the wireless platform for new revenue growth and is focusing on four key products and services. One of those products is AT&T's Digital Life home security and automation service, which AT&T plans to launch commercially in early 2013. Interesting aspect to me was that it is part of a wireless platform offering. Being in the DAS industry, I started thinking if security solutions can be part of DAS.
