DAS Installation
We lay the groundwork for efficient cellular DAS installations with state-of-the-art equipment and thorough site surveys.
We are America’s trusted partner for DAS Installation and Integration.
Our installs are predicated on fully understanding your RF environment, so that we can build custom solutions that address the specific needs of the property. Illuminati Labs uses state-of-the-art technology, including the industry-leading PCTEL SeeHawk system, to perform a detailed site survey of your property, which ensures we know exactly what issues our best-in-class DAS integrator field teams will face when deploying, commissioning, and managing your DAS installations.
In-building cell signal enhancements are only as effective as their installation. When we deploy a cellular enhancement or ERRCS system at your property, our innovative and dependable installation processes will make clear why we’ve become the nation’s most trusted and highly recommended DAS (Distributed Antenna System) installation company.
With our vast experience across industries like healthcare, industrial, hospitality, multifamily, and general commercial spaces, Illuminati Labs has the cross-disciplinary knowledge and expertise necessary to guarantee your signal repeater installation progresses flawlessly. We go out of our way to avoid disrupting the day-to-day affairs of your guests, tenants, staff or residents because we believe our installation should be a simple, straightforward experience for you and everyone at your property.
Distributed antenna systems, also known as DAS, are a very broad classification of technology that includes any system where antennas and cabling are used to disperse RF signal throughout a building (or buildings). These systems are used to enhance cell phone signal throughout the property — from the rooftop to amenities areas and even car charging stations in deep underground garages.
An Emergency Responder Radio Communication System, also known as ERRCS, is the classification of technology that enables first responders to have a dedicated system on which they can communicate with their two-way radios (walkie talkies) during an emergency. These systems are mandated in response to the massive number of in-building emergencies that require coordination and communication from the first responders on the scene.
A converged wireless solution is a method of using the cabling and antennas from your Code-required public safety DAS (Distributed Antenna System), as the backbone for integrating your cellular DAS system as well.
At Illuminati Labs, our team is a collective of innovators and problem solvers dedicated to transforming how connectivity is experienced within commercial spaces. Our philosophy is to question everything and defy the norms to make cell signal work for people in every commercial building. Harnessing a blend of technical expertise and creative thinking, we tailor solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations, ensuring that every project is a step towards a more connected future.

Consultation: we’ll discuss your coverage problems/concerns and review your architectural plans to determine whether or not a site survey might be required. If it is, we come to your site and take readings of available signal strength inside and outside the property.
Survey: We complete our survey by using a PCTel SeeHawk which is widely recognized as the most accurate and reliable test equipment for RF on the market. This survey will show what carriers and areas the signal is deficient for in the building.
Proposal: We compile all the information on your site, including your budget, to create a proposed solution that will deliver the most bang for your buck.
Order: Once the proposal is approved and signed, we place your equipment order to begin the installation process.
Schedule: At proposal signing, we contact your GC and/or ownership to coordinate schedules.
Installation: We wire and install your cellular or ERRCS DAS system according to schedule. llluminati Labs strives to make our installations as seamless as possible. With no hyperbole, our teams believe in being the best on-site contractor you have ever worked with. Period.
Commission: This is the exciting part where we ensure that the system is working flawlessly.
Report: We create a post-install heat map, similar to our initial survey. This mapping will show us the delta between the initial survey and the survey with a functioning cellular DAS system.
Next Site: We partner with our clients and developers to help them on any subsequent projects, always working to make our project integration flawless.
The time it takes from consultation to finished cellular or ERRCS DAS installation depends entirely on your property’s construction schedule plus a variety of other considerations. These can include how accessible the site will be, infrastructure needs such as conduit, which type of signal we are enhancing – cellular or ERRCS – and if your project is a new build or a retrofit. When we provide you with our proposal, we will give you an estimation of the time needed for installation from start to finish.
Ideally, we like to perform your installation during the construction phase but that isn’t always possible for a variety of reasons. When a client needs a cellular enhancement system installed in a “live” building, we make every face to face encounter with residents, workers, patients, or guests as accommodating and unobtrusive as possible. This means we sometimes work at night and we carefully clean up each work area before moving on to the next. We go the extra mile to be courteous and respectful to everyone on site, even going so far as helping a resident find a lost pet and answering every question with a “yes sir” or “no ma’am.” We’ve deployed signal repeater installations in fully booked hotels, offices packed with workers, 100% occupied apartment highrises, and hospitals brimming with patients and staff.
Our work is performed by our own W2 employees so that we can ensure the DAS installation is done to our quality standards and the installers uphold our company values.
