For some time I have been promoting the technical merits of this new entrant into the DAS space. (Well not realy new, 50,000 systems installed in the Far East..and the second year in North America). Integra Systems has been working with them to help position this in the healthcare vertical. Please find attached the most recent brochure completed for HIMSS in concert with Intégra Systems, Inc. They will change thé game in thé DAS space.

OK, what do a lot of Healthcare CIO(s), like about SOLiD? This is totally non-technical.
– First and only it is the only UL approved NEMA-4 rated remote unit. Yes, you could spray this down with a fire hose and everything would be fine! Rather than having a wall in the IDF all cluttered with combiners, diplexers and a big hunking box; you now have a small compact clean looking “lockable” remote unit. Thus, no one can harm your vital communications for 3G/4G, and it is free from collecting dust and dirt, which can decrease component reliability over time.
– You only need one or two (at most), strands of fiber from the MDF to the IDF. Most hospitals simply do not have 8 or 16 strands of fiber just laying around. Just cutting down on the fiber just makes a heck of a lot of sense, yet alone all the cost of fiber terminations.
– It looks just well made and it is. No birds nest of jumper wires all over, but SOLiD (no pun intended), actual hard wire connections, clean and well laid out.
– High power remote units cut down on the amount of equipment…saving costs.
– This is current and state of the art technology, not five plus year and older legacy DAS technology on the marketplace it seems today.
– Not coming into the healthcare market and promoting shared DAS with WLAN or WMTS which is not the model here in 2011.
– Not promoting a very limited ethernet broadband solution, which is not prepared for the future.
– Unlike a lot of technology providers in this space, “no out of the box failures”. The equipment is SOLiD (SOLID) in reliability.
– Very technical filtering, that at the end of day allows all the carriers and public safety signals to work the way that they should in the enterprise space.
