In 2018, when the DAS project at Patio Victor Malzoni began to be designed with one of the country’s major operators, the opportunity for synergy with other buildings in the region became clear. The solution then evolved into a C-DAS that could serve the original building and share its capacity with adjacent buildings, drastically reducing the operators’ overall TCO. In this C-DAS architecture, signal sources, POis, and access units (master) are centralized in the Patio Victor Malzoni building. The access units (master) convert the electrical signal into an optical signal, and these are transported via a fiber optic network with geographic redundancy to the satellite buildings (Faria Lima Square and JK 1455), where the electrical signals are regenerated, amplified, and transmitted. With this solution it is possible to serve multiple locations, even kilometers away, without loss of performance.
In 2022, one of the region’s newest and most contemporary buildings – Birmann 32, known for the twenty-meter-long metal whale in front of its theater – received an independent Active DAS system with an indoor fiber infrastructure for the fixed network. The neutral fiber was installed during the construction of the building. In practice, each new company that moves into the building can connect to the fixed network infrastructure very quickly, with the service of the operator of their choice.
