Airspan Networks Launches MobileAccess Digital DAS Across Europe and UK
Airspan Networks Holdings LLC (“Airspan”), a leading global provider of wireless network solutions, today announced the official launch of its MobileAccess Digital DAS platform across Europe and the United Kingdom, marking a significant milestone in the company’s international growth strategy and its mission to deliver high-performance, mission-critical wireless solutions to enterprises, venues, and carriers. This expansion follows the widespread adoption of the MobileAccess portfolio in the US, where it has been deployed by major mobile network operators (MNOs), third-party operators (3POs), and Fortune 1000 enterprises across a diverse set of industries including healthcare, transportation, sports, automotive, and industrial environments where network uptime and performance are crucial.
Proven MobileAccess Portfolio Widely Adopted in the US
Airspan’s MobileAccess platform has been proven in thousands of deployments throughout the United States, demonstrating reliability, scalability, and superior network economics for both carriers and enterprise customers. Its extensive use in environments that demand low latency, high capacity, and seamless device interconnectivity has established MobileAccess Digital DAS as a trusted solution for complex wireless network needs. The platform is approved by leading MNOs and utilized by third-party operators to support mission-critical applications where connectivity performance directly impacts operational efficiency, safety, and customer experience.
Expanding Choice for In-Building Wireless Deployments in Europe
With the European and UK launch, Airspan aims to provide customers with greater choice for in-building wireless deployments that integrate both public carrier coverage and private network capabilities. The MobileAccess Digital DAS platform is designed to meet a wide range of use cases across carrier, enterprise, and venue networks, enabling organizations to implement high-capacity, low-latency wireless connectivity in environments where traditional solutions may struggle. Key benefits of the platform include an extremely compact form factor suitable for space-constrained locations with 2400MHz bandwidth, Wi-Fi AP-like multi-band low-power remotes enabling future-ready, all-optical deployments, and industry-leading mid-power remotes that support cost-optimized hybrid fiber-coax solutions.
Private Network-Ready Infrastructure
Airspan’s MobileAccess Digital DAS platform also features private network support, providing a unified infrastructure that enables multi-operator public coverage while simultaneously supporting private 5G networks. Several European countries, including the United Kingdom, allow enterprises to license spectrum in the 3.7–4.2 GHz range for private 5G deployments. MobileAccess leverages this spectrum, operating in licensed private 5G bands and integrating seamlessly with Airspan’s AOS 5G baseband software through open O-RAN interfaces. This integration creates the industry’s first DAS solution with a fully embedded private network capability, enabling enterprises to deploy private 5G networks within their facilities without additional complex infrastructure.
Open RAN Integration for High-Performance 5G
The MobileAccess Digital DAS platform supports O-RAN interfaces, enabling high-performance private 5G networks powered by Airspan’s MobileEdge solution. By adopting Open RAN technology, enterprises gain flexibility in deploying future-ready wireless networks while reducing vendor lock-in. This approach allows organizations to unify public and private wireless connectivity on a single infrastructure, supporting emerging enterprise applications such as real-time IoT monitoring, autonomous robotics, connected transportation solutions, and high-density venue connectivity, all while maintaining operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Enterprise Benefits Across Multiple Industries
The platform’s compact design, hybrid deployment options, and private network capabilities provide distinct advantages to enterprises in high-traffic venues, industrial environments, healthcare facilities, sports arenas, and transportation hubs. Organizations can achieve reliable low-latency connections, seamless device interconnectivity, and high-bandwidth support for mission-critical applications. Airspan’s MobileAccess Digital DAS platform also reduces total cost of ownership by consolidating multiple network functions into a single, scalable solution. Enterprises can deploy private and public coverage without additional infrastructure investments, thereby improving overall network economics while delivering superior end-user experiences.
Endorsements from Industry Leaders
“Advanced and mission-critical connectivity in high-traffic and marquee venues across Europe can now be delivered using our MobileAccess Digital DAS platform,” said Amit Jain, SVP & GM of In-Building Networks at Airspan. “MobileAccess is built to scale efficiently and reliably, while improving overall network economics for carriers, venues, and enterprises. Having demonstrated these benefits across thousands of US deployments, we’re excited to support our customers and partners in Europe with a future-ready digital platform that unifies public and private wireless connectivity.” Nick Vettraino, Vice President of Operations at KLA Laboratories, emphasized the proven reliability of Airspan’s solution, noting, “We’ve deployed MobileAccess Digital DAS across the US in environments where low latency, high capacity, and device interconnectivity are essential. Digital DAS has delivered measurable improvements in performance and reliability while lowering total cost of ownership across our deployments. As Airspan introduces Digital DAS into the UK and European markets, we’re excited to extend this proven approach to our customers across the region.”
Global Technical Support and Expertise
Deployments in Europe and the United Kingdom are supported by Airspan’s Wireless Center of Excellence located in Slough, UK. This facility works in conjunction with Airspan’s global RF design, systems engineering, and technical support organizations to ensure seamless implementation, optimization, and ongoing operational support. Enterprises and carriers benefit from Airspan’s extensive experience in designing, deploying, and maintaining high-capacity wireless networks, ensuring that MobileAccess Digital DAS solutions meet both current and future connectivity requirements.
