DAS case study: Connecting Toreo Parque Central in Mexico City

The market for in-building wireless connectivity is red hot with venue owners spending big on deployments for hotels, shopping malls, concert venues and more. In this DAS case study, learn how a JMA Wireless deployment currently supports Telefonica mobile services with plans to add more carriers.

The Toreo Parque Central in Mexico City, Mexico, is a 230,000-square-meter, high-end shopping complex comprising four floors of retail, including an indoor park including trees and other landscaping, an outdoor rooftop common area and a parking garage.

The complex, opened last year, is owned by the Grupo Danhos development company. JMA Wireless provided its Teko DAS platform and Intelli Site Solutions set up the in-building cellular network.

Using a single fiber optic cable, the Teko DAS connects 12 remote units throughout the mall. The system currently has three sectors with plans to expand to six; the DAS supports multiple carriers although Telefonica is the only current operator pending ongoing negotiations.

Ultimately, the DAS will supports GSM 850, UMTS 850, UMTS 1900, LTE 1900 and LTE 2100.

“From start to finish phase one of the project was very easy thanks to the Teko DAS platform and the JMA Wireless team,” Roberto Carlos Perez, Engineering Director for In-Building DAS Projects at Intelli Site Solutions, said.  “We are looking forward to working with the JMA Wireless team on phase two of this deployment. The Teko DAS was very quick and intuitive to deploy. The entire deployment experience was easy, and we are looking forward to working with JMA Wireless on Phase 2 of this project.”
