ANS designs, deploys, and supports carrier-grade small cell solutions for carriers, municipalities, commercial property owners, and enterprise clients. From initial planning and site evaluation through engineering, deployment, and ongoing support, our team delivers scalable infrastructure solutions that strengthen wireless networks while preparing organizations for the future of connectivity.

Enabling Smarter Networks

What are small cells?

Small cells are compact, low-powered wireless radio systems strategically installed on utility poles, streetlights, buildings, campuses, and other existing infrastructure to improve localized wireless coverage and network capacity. Working alongside the broader wireless network, they bring connectivity closer to users, helping deliver faster speeds, improved reliability, and enhanced performance in areas where demand is highest.

Why Small Cells Matter

Today's wireless users expect uninterrupted connectivity whether they're working, shopping, attending events, traveling, or accessing critical services. As network demand continues to grow, additional capacity becomes essential to maintain performance and support next-generation technologies. Small cells help eliminate coverage gaps, reduce network congestion, improve data speeds, and enhance the overall user experience. They also serve as a foundational component of 5G deployments, enabling the high-capacity, low-latency connectivity required for smart cities, IoT applications, autonomous technologies, and other emerging digital infrastructure.

Private LTE

In Building Wireless FAQs

What are in-building wireless solutions?

In-building wireless solutions are systems designed to improve cellular coverage and capacity inside buildings where signals are weak or unreliable. Technologies such as Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), Small Cells, and Private LTE networks help ensure consistent voice, data, and mobile connectivity throughout a facility.

What types of buildings benefit from in-building wireless systems?

In-building wireless solutions are commonly deployed in hospitals, hotels, office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, educational campuses, stadiums, and other large or complex structures where building materials, size, or user density can impact cellular performance.

What is the difference between DAS, Small Cells, and Private LTE?

A DAS distributes cellular signals throughout a building using a network of antennas, making it ideal for larger facilities. Small Cells are compact wireless access points that enhance coverage and capacity in targeted areas. Private LTE provides a dedicated, secure wireless network for organizations that require greater control, reliability, and performance for business-critical operations.

How do I know if my facility needs an in-building wireless solution?

Common signs include dropped calls, poor signal strength, slow mobile data speeds, and inconsistent coverage throughout a building. In many cases, modern construction materials, energy-efficient designs, and LEED-certified buildings can significantly impede cellular signals, creating indoor dead zones. A professional RF site survey identifies these coverage gaps and recommends the optimal solution based on your facility's size, layout, occupancy, and wireless requirements.
