Case Study: BlueBird Bio achieves full-cellular coverage in its Durham facility with Waveform’s small cell passive DAS solution

BlueBird Bio deploys Small Cell Passive DAS across 85,000 sq. ft. with Waveform

BlueBird Bio faced significant cellular coverage challenges in their new 85,000-square-foot medical technology facility in Durham, North Carolina. The building's construction, which included stainless steel tiles and metal doors in labs and clean rooms, severely attenuated signal transmission for AT&T and Verizon. Seeking a robust solution, the company enlisted their previous vendor, Waveform, to address the inconsistent coverage for their staff.

Waveform designed and deployed a small cell passive DAS system, strategically using an increased number of antennas to ensure optimal signal propagation throughout the difficult building environment. The solution, powered by AT&T and Verizon small cells, now provides full-bar coverage across the facility. Waveform also provides 24/7 remote monitoring to ensure the system continues to perform at optimal levels, delivering a future-proof infrastructure for the customer.
