Top In-building Wireless Companies

The in-building wireless market is estimated to grow from USD 22.58 billion in 2025 to USD 39.46 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 11.8%, during the forecast period. The market is driven by the urgent need for high-speed, low-latency, and uninterrupted indoor connectivity across large, medium-sized, and small buildings. As wireless traffic increasingly shifts indoors, particularly in urban areas, organizations are prioritizing strong infrastructure that supports public and private networks.

Enterprises and neutral host operators are actively deploying distributed antenna systems (DAS), particularly active and hybrid configurations, alongside distributed small cells to ensure consistent coverage across complex environments such as commercial campuses, transportation hubs, and entertainment venues. At Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), a hybrid DAS with multi-operator support integrates head-end units, remote units, and network management software to manage peak 5G traffic and ensure uninterrupted coverage throughout terminals, even during high passenger loads.

In the healthcare sector, Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) in Singapore implemented a private LTE/5G network. This network uses femtocells, repeaters, and strategically positioned antennas throughout its wards and surgical units. It is supported by advanced network planning software and is continuously monitored through managed services. The setup supports low-latency communication for mobile medical devices, real-time location tracking, and smart diagnostics, while being deployed through specialized professional services, such as integration and network design. Across sectors, the emphasis is shifting from basic signal availability to intelligent, scalable, and mission-critical in-building wireless systems that tightly integrate hardware, software, and services with the operational priorities of each end user.

Top In-Building Wireless Solutions Companies include:

• CommScope (US)
• Airspan Networks (US)
• Ericsson (Sweden)
• Huawei (China)
• Nokia (Finland)

These players have incorporated various organic and inorganic growth strategies, including collaborations, acquisitions, product launches, partnerships, agreements, and expansions to strengthen their international footprint and capture a greater share of the in-building wireless market. These organic and inorganic strategies have allowed the market players to expand across geographies by offering in-building wireless solutions and services.

CommScope

CommScope recently advanced its position in the in-building wireless space by expanding its Era C-RAN architecture, enabling centralized deployment of head-end units and dramatically reducing the amount of fiber and onsite infrastructure required. This platform now supports dynamic software-driven features such as MIMO and virtual sectorization, essential for 5G densification across large buildings. Within its Venue and Campus Networks segment, CommScope delivers in-building wireless through ION DAS, ONECELL indoor small cells, and Era solutions, tailored to support public and private networks across healthcare, education, hospitality, and entertainment sectors.

For instance, CommScope deployed a hybrid DAS across Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, home to the NFL’s Raiders, integrating remote units, antennas, and network management software to handle massive data loads during sold-out events. Similarly, its deployment at the University of Tennessee enabled campus-wide 5G readiness with minimal disruption to the existing infrastructure, demonstrating how the company scales across high-density and mid-sized indoor environments using a blend of professional services and modular hardware systems.

Airspan Networks

Airspan significantly expanded its in-building wireless capabilities by acquiring Corning’s wireless assets, including the MobileAccess 6000/6200 DAS systems and SpiderCloud’s enterprise RAN solutions. This move strengthened its footprint in dense urban venues and enterprise campuses, with solutions that support distributed antenna systems, small cells, and multi-band support, including CBRS and C-band. Airspan’s new IBW portfolio is now aligned under its enterprise wireless unit, which combines hardware with network planning software, integration services, and managed services tailored for operators, neutral host providers, and large enterprises.

At a major commercial complex in downtown Chicago, Airspan deployed its rebranded MobileAccess 6200 system to support multi-tenant 5G coverage across three interconnected buildings, using a layered DAS and small cell setup to reduce shadow zones while maintaining carrier neutrality. In another case, a national logistics warehouse chain in the US adopted Airspan’s CBRS-based private network, powered by SpiderCloud, to improve indoor asset tracking and connected worker applications across large warehouses, depicting how Airspan’s IBW stack meets performance and business-critical application demands.

Ericsson

Ericsson, a leading Swedish telecommunications company, plays a significant role in the in-building wireless market by providing advanced indoor connectivity solutions. Through its Ericsson Radio Dot System, the company delivers high-capacity, energy-efficient indoor mobile coverage for venues such as offices, airports, hospitals, and shopping malls.
