Converged wireless solutions deliver huge cost savings, future-proofing, and increased safety. Reach out to find out how a converged system could benefit your building.
Our Team has extensive experience in Cellular Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and Emergency Responder Radio Communication Systems (ERRCS), providing cutting-edge solutions tailored to enhance wireless service within various commercial environments. Our expertise encompasses both design and installation of systems that improve cellular coverage and capacity, especially crucial in areas with spotty or weak signals. By using advanced technology and strategic placement of antennas, Illuminati Labs ensures that clients and emergency responders have the consistent and reliable cell service they need. This capability is vital for maintaining connectivity in large buildings, multi-level structures, and densely populated commercial spaces.
We pride ourselves on providing turnkey services: from engineered designs and installation to testing and expert consulting, we ensure our clients have a seamless solution, tailored to their unique needs.
Our Engineers will evaluate your building and design you a custom solution to maximize coverage and minimize cost.
Our super-team deploys, commissions, and manages your project start to finish, ensuring an efficient, quality process.
We heat-map the property to determine which areas have deficient signal and then provide you with the results and a path to fix the issues.
Our experts help you determine the solution that’s best for your building, providing both design concepts and budgetary guides.
Fun Fact: reliable cell service is the #1 most requested amenity in multifamily buildings, with more than 90% of respondents saying they won’t rent without it. Every building’s residents, guests, and workers are clamoring for more reliable cell coverage to increase their quality of work and life.
State and local governments are increasingly requiring commercial buildings to install a public safety ERRCS to strengthen the first responders’ dedicated radio network. In fact, in most cases, an ERRCS installation is mandatory for building owners to obtain a certificate of occupancy.
This leaves property owners faced with the expense of adding a mandatory ERRCS to meet Code, and a cellular enhancement system to keep occupants living and working happily. Finding a cost-effective solution to deploying both systems is a top priority.
Along the way, we’ve learned that every property presents a unique set of challenges which must be trusted to a highly specialized team of experts.
Our vast experience and cross-disciplinary knowledge allow us to tailor the perfect-fit ERRCS and cellular solutions for your building’s 4G LTE, 5G and public safety needs.
More and more state and local governments are requiring commercial buildings to install a public safety ERRCS to strengthen the first responders’ dedicated radio network. In fact, in most cases, an ERRCS installation is mandatory for building owners to obtain a certificate of occupancy.
At the same time, the building’s residents, guests, and workers are clamoring for more reliable cell coverage of their own. Fun Fact: reliable cell service is the #1 most requested amenity in multifamily buildings, with more than 90% of respondents saying they won’t rent without it.
This leaves property owners faced with the expense of adding a mandatory ERRCS to meet Code, and a cellular enhancement system to keep occupants living and working happily. Finding a cost-effective solution to deploying both systems is a top priority – and why a converged solution makes so much sense.
When the same infrastructure – the cabling, antennas, and domes – for the public safety DAS are also allowed to carry the cellular DAS, the converged DAS systems can save up to 40% versus installing the two systems separately.
Ideally, you’ll see the greatest savings when a qualified integrator like Illuminati Labs is involved right from the beginning and can design and install both systems simultaneously. This also allows developers and owners to use a crucial component of public safety as leverage to obtain a valuable building upgrade. Integrating the cellular repeater system right from the start is a quick and painless way of getting far more bang for your buck.
A new client was trying to understand if cellular coverage + ERRCS were going to be needed in their project. They were evaluating budgets and couldn’t find a way to make both systems work. Since ERRCS is a code-required system, they knew that it would take precedent over a Cellular DAS system is one of them needed to be value engineered.
After analyzing the project, coordinating with the local jurisdiction, and pricing out a converged system design, the Illuminati Labs tea, was able to find a solution for the client that allowed them to stay within budget, while providing both systems in the property.
When compared against quotes the Client had received for two standalone systems, the converged solution saved a total of $.40 per sq/ft.
On their 500,000 sq/ft property, that added up to more than $200,000 in savings.
Almost every emergency response starts with a phone call to 911; and more than 80% of those calls come from a cell phone. This makes dependable cellular coverage the linchpin of your building’s safety protocol. Providing secure, dependable access to 911 for everyone on your property is simply the right thing to do and grants everybody peace of mind. Bonus: your ERRCS system may even function better once it’s converged with your cellular DAS!
As 5G technology rolls out across the country, having a reliable cellular repeater system will be essential to virtually every building. That’s because 5G frequencies are more easily impacted and blocked by building materials, foliage, and even rain, so 5G will produce worse indoor coverage than current cell signal.
By installing a converged ERRCS and cellular DAS system now, your property will get significant cost savings as compared to waiting to install separate systems later. You’ll also gain a future-proofed infrastructure that is highly adaptable and built with an intentional focus on the emerging cellular technologies of the next decade+.
In new construction, the local AHJ will need to approve our installation and merging the two systems. Some AHJs aren’t yet familiar with converged wireless systems and may be reluctant to give consent until they have a better understanding of how we design and implement these solutions to be 100% network safe.
As one of the premier companies in the country to deploy converged wireless systems, Illuminati Labs is at the forefront of this process, and we have found that once we establish that our converged systems are a part of FirstNet and will even enhance FirstNet capabilities, AHJs and first responder teams usually become keen supporters.

That depends on your local state and government regulations, but we have found that most municipalities and jurisdictions do permit converged solutions. Share your specific information with us to see if your property is eligible for a converged DAS system.
No! Just like a converged DAS solution will save up to 40% of the cost of two separate systems, it will also save about 40% of the installation time.
