Introduction   

1.1

 

Intended   Audience   

The EXPRESS DAS user documentation is intended for technicians responsible for planning, 

administering, configuring and maintaining the EXPRESS Single-Carrier Distributed Antenna System 

(DAS). Technicians using the manual should already have completed the EXPRESS Single-Carrier DAS 

online training course offered through SOLiD University. 

SOLiD recommends technicians be familiar with the concepts of fiber optic cabling, networking and 

wireless communication technologies, and SNMP. We further recommend training programs offered 

through CIBET (Certified In Building Engineering Technologist) and BICSI (Building Industry Consulting 

Service International).
