Firm trumpets 'less obtrusive' antenna plan (Greenwhich Time)

Opponents of cell tower construction may now have an alternative to give their public officials, in the form of a Distributed Antenna System. Illinois developer ClearLinx Network Corp. has proposed to build an unobtrusive network for cellular coverage in the form of compact distributed antenna systems.

Contracts between top wireless carriers for the distributed antenna system may also be in the works, which would appease residents who demand creative alternatives for wireless network coverage expansion.
