Forté Neutral Source®: Turnkey DAS Radio Source Solution


Solving the Problem of Obtaining DAS Signal Sources

Shifting work priorities and budgets make it virtually impossible for mobile network operators to directly provide radio sources for many DAS deployments. Even if a project gains operator funding, the operators’ schedules can stretch out more than a year due to budget cycles and available technical resources. CTS is the only supplier that can solve the growing problem of access to DAS signal sources through its Forté Neutral Source solution.


Take control of the budget and schedule for your DAS deployment. The Forté Neutral Source solution guarantees operator-approved radio services for any sized DAS in any type of building.
