Legacy DAS & Heritage Consulting
Independent consulting for legacy and “heritage” systems with a focus on in-building RF, distributed antenna systems (DAS), and long-lived infrastructure. Drawing on over 20 years of field and leadership experience, we help you understand what you have, what you need, and how to move forward safely and cost-effectively.
What We Do
Legacy DAS & RF Infrastructure
- Review of existing DAS, repeaters, and in-building RF systems
- Assessment of coverage, capacity, and aging components
- Migration strategies toward modern architectures and bands
Heritage Systems & “What Do We Have?”
- System walk-downs and inventory of installed equipment
- Documentation recreation: block diagrams, as-built notes, topology
- Risk & priority mapping for future upgrades or decommissioning
Life-Extension & Replacement Planning
- Identify what can be tuned, repaired, or repurposed
- Plan phased upgrades instead of “rip and replace”
- Budget-aware roadmaps that align with operational needs
Vendor-Neutral Guidance
- Independent second opinion on proposals and designs
- Comparison of options, trade-offs, and long-term impacts
- Support during RFP, design reviews, and acceptance testing
