Cell phone coverage improves on the Danforth Campus

Record: Cell phone coverage improves on the Danforth Campus.

Several cellular towers and antennas were installed on campus by carriers, and the University also constructed a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to address in-building cellular reception in Simon Hall, the Knight Center, the Danforth University Center and its underground garage. The DAS uses antennas placed throughout buildings to capture and relay cell phone signals through interior space.
