Fiplex announced that it was recognized by the Safer Buildings Coalition (SBC), as a Silver Award recipient of their inaugural Safe Inside Annual Members Awards for Project of the Year.

The DFW Public Safety Centric DAS Upgrade and Expansion Project comprehends the design, integration, and turnup of a distributed antenna system providing quad-band, airport-wide coverage supporting VHF and UHF, for airport interoperability and 700/800 MHz, for public-safety bands. The network architecture consists of approximately 50, 5W, multi-band remotes which are fed by two head-end locations capable of fiber redundancy to ensure uptime reliability and uplink channel control to ensure communications during high radio traffic in the event of an extensive emergency response.
