Abstract
People and businesses need seamless and robust wireless coverage. Lack of coverage, dropped connections, and
poor quality signals from Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) decrease productivity and frustrate
users. Today’s construction techniques and block materials weaken internal and external wireless communication
signals inside buildings which causes poor reception in offices, parking garages, hotels, malls and airports etc.
leading to dropped calls, and loss of revenue in some cases. Organization's viability and growth especially in this
ever-increasing competitive world depend on employee productivity and access to important information and
people when necessary. To achieve a workplace or organization with comprehensive wireless or GSM coverage,
Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is employed to distribute and enhance the cellular signal of mobile operators
within a building with high quality mobile communication for office indoor environment around Electrical and
Computer Engineering department situated within the College of Engineering and Technology building, Kwara
State University, Malete. The result presents a significant improvement of the network signal coverage around the
areas of interest.
