IBC‑DAS In‑Building Coverage Solutions

Reliable Mobile Coverage Inside Your Building

In‑building mobile coverage is now critical for safety, productivity and customer experience. AM2PM Group delivers IBC‑DAS (In‑Building Coverage / Distributed Antenna System) solutions that provide strong, consistent mobile signals in areas where outdoor networks struggle, including basements, lifts, car parks, plant rooms and large commercial floors.

What is IBC‑DAS?

IBC‑DAS is a dedicated in‑building system that captures mobile signal from nearby towers or base stations and redistributes it through a network of internal antennas. This engineered approach overcomes concrete, glass and steel that typically block or weaken mobile coverage, ensuring staff, tenants and visitors can make calls, use data and access critical apps wherever they are on site.

An IBC‑DAS solution typically includes:

External or rooftop donor antenna
Signal source and headend equipment
Fibre or coax cabling backbone
Ceiling or wall‑mounted internal antennas
Monitoring and management systems

Why your facility needs in‑building coverage

Poor indoor coverage is more than an inconvenience. It can affect:

Safety: impacting emergency calling, duress alarms and critical communications
Operations: slowing workforce apps, Wi‑Fi calling and field service tools
Customer experience: frustrating visitors, shoppers and guests in your venue

A properly designed IBC‑DAS solution supports all major mobile network operators and is sized to handle high device density during peak times, such as shift changes, events or emergencies.

IBC‑DAS solutions for complex environments

AM2PM designs and delivers IBC‑DAS for:

Commercial offices and high‑rise towers
Hospitals, aged care and health campuses
Shopping centres and entertainment venues
Industrial sites, logistics hubs and warehouses
Tunnels, car parks, basements and back‑of‑house zones

Every project is modelled to account for building fabric, layout, capacity requirements and carrier integration, ensuring coverage where it matters most.

Our IBC‑DAS capabilities

AM2PM provides end‑to‑end IBC‑DAS delivery, including:

Site surveys and coverage benchmarking
RF design, capacity and technology selection
Civil, electrical and internal build works
DAS installation, commissioning and testing
Integration with existing telecom infrastructure
Ongoing maintenance and performance monitoring

Our in‑house teams coordinate closely with builders, facility managers, carriers and safety stakeholders to deliver projects on time with minimal disruption.

Compliance, safety and industry standards

In‑building coverage systems must comply with Australian safety, RF exposure and carrier requirements. AM2PM designs IBC‑DAS installations in line with relevant guidelines and industry codes, including carrier design frameworks and mobile carrier forum standards for distributed antenna systems. Our teams follow robust WHS procedures across all sites.

Rope-Access Support for Hard-to-Reach Areas
In complex buildings, some DAS and in-building coverage works require specialist access. AM2PM Group deploys rope-access technicians for:

Vertical risers, shafts and high-level pathways
Plant rooms, ceiling voids and restricted-access zones
Running cabling and mounting antennas where conventional access equipment cannot be used

IBC‑DAS project process

Discovery and requirements

1. 1. Understand building use, pain points and performance goals.
  2. Review existing network infrastructure and drawings.

Site assessment and RF survey

1. 1. Measure existing coverage and signal quality indoors.
  2. Identify external signal sources and optimal donor locations.

Design and proposal

1. 1. Produce a coverage and capacity design with equipment specification.
  2. Provide a clear programme, cost estimate and staging plan.
2. Installation and integration
  1. Complete cabling, antenna installation and equipment commissioning.
  2. Coordinate with builders, other trades and building management.

Testing, optimisation and handover

1. 1. Validate coverage and performance across all zones.
  2. Provide documentation, as‑built drawings and training as required.

Support and lifecycle services

1. Ongoing maintenance, optimisation and upgrade paths as technology evolves.

When to consider an IBC‑DAS upgrade

You should explore IBC‑DAS when:

Staff or tenants regularly complain about weak mobile signal indoors
You are delivering a new commercial development or major refurbishment
Your building hosts critical services, events or high‑density occupancy
Compliance or safety frameworks rely on dependable mobile or radio coverage
