Improve your indoor cellular coverage
Ameriband extends indoor cellular coverage by leveraging existing RUCKUS Wi‑Fi infrastructure, eliminating the need for traditional Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS).
Using standards-based Passpoint® / Hotspot 2.0 technology, mobile devices automatically authenticate to the network using carrier credentials, enabling secure, seamless voice and data connectivity indoors — without manual login or user intervention.
As mobile usage continues to increase and modern building materials limit signal penetration, particularly indoors, organizations are rethinking how to deliver reliable mobile connectivity. Ameriband enables them to address this challenge quickly by extending the network they already have into a platform for indoor mobile coverage.
Solution Overview
The combined solution extends Wi‑Fi infrastructure into an indoor mobile coverage platform. RUCKUS provides the network foundation, while Ameriband enables carrier-integrated voice and data services over Wi‑Fi, providing a simplified, scalable alternative to DAS without requiring additional RF infrastructure.
What This Enables
- Extend indoor cellular voice and data coverage using existing Wi‑Fi infrastructure
- , secure device connectivity using carrier credentials (no manual login)
- Improved mobile calling reliability and consistent user experience indoors
- Reduced dependence on costly and complex DAS deployments
- Scalable coverage across multi-building and campus environments
| Layer | Role |
|---|---|
| RUCKUS Networks | High-performance WiFi 7 infrastructure and connectivity foundation |
| Ameriband | Cellular extension platform leveraging Passpoint / Hotspot 2.0 |
