AI Overview
RF attenuators in in-building solutions (IBS) reduce RF signal power, preventing receiver overload, mitigating interference, and balancing signal levels across DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) or small cell networks. They protect sensitive equipment from high power, ensuring optimal, stable signal quality for reliable 5G, Wi-Fi, and LTE indoor coverage.
