Premier Contract PP-FA-2217 covers cellular and public safety Distributed Antenna System (DAS) and Emergency Responder Radio Communication System (ERRCS) solutions from CTS. Contracted offerings include turnkey cellular DAS, Forte managed signal source, MMRD monitoring and support, turnkey public safety DAS, and qualified cellular and public safety DAS as-a-Service models.
Project scope, eligibility, pricing, schedule, and site requirements are confirmed directly with CTS through the applicable member agreement.
Premier Contract PP-FA-2217 gives eligible members an established contract path for cellular and public safety DAS / ERRCS solutions from CTS.
Begin with an existing Premier agreement rather than building every commercial term from the ground up. Member-specific procurement requirements still apply.
CTS works with the member to define facility requirements, project scope, schedule, operating model, and locally negotiated pricing through the applicable member agreement.
CTS can support eligible participating facilities across hospital campuses, medical office buildings, outpatient locations, parking structures, administrative sites, and other covered healthcare environments.
Bring assessment, design, deployment, carrier coordination, monitoring, maintenance, repair, and lifecycle planning into one coordinated relationship.
Evaluate traditional capital projects, managed services, or qualified as-a-Service structures based on the facility, technical requirements, and financial priorities.
The contract can help streamline sourcing and contracting, but each Premier member retains its own procurement, approval, and competitive-bid requirements.
Healthcare facilities increasingly depend on reliable indoor cellular service for staff communication, patient and visitor connectivity, contractor access, and day-to-day operations. At the same time, carrier investment in enterprise in-building systems has become more selective and is often concentrated in the largest or highest-profile venues.
CTS is also observing changes to some legacy carrier arrangements and signal sources at healthcare facilities. A system can continue operating while its support model, equipment availability, or carrier path is becoming less certain.
Waiting for carrier intervention can turn a manageable infrastructure decision into an urgent replacement or remediation project. Health systems should treat in-building cellular as a planned enterprise infrastructure investment, with clear ownership, lifecycle planning, and a funding strategy.
Wait for carrier investment, approvals, or continued support.
Assess requirements, define ownership, select the right intervention, establish funding, and manage the system over time.
The earlier a health system understands its technical and commercial options, the more control it retains over timing, capital planning, and operational risk.
Obsolete equipment, limited replacement parts, changing carrier requirements, and uncertainty around the existing signal source can accelerate upgrade or replacement decisions.
Carriers may restrict or discontinue support for legacy repeater and signal-source arrangements. The DAS distribution system may remain usable even when the source feeding it needs to change.
Public safety radio coverage requirements are governed by applicable codes and the local Authority Having Jurisdiction. Aging, undocumented, or underperforming systems can create inspection, remediation, recertification, and compliance risk.
Equipment lead times, fiber availability, skilled labor, carrier coordination, and construction schedules can make reactive projects more difficult and more expensive than planned improvements.
The larger financial risk is often not the planned cost of wireless infrastructure. It is unplanned capital, accelerated replacement, compliance remediation, and operational disruption.
Forte is a managed, multi-carrier signal source service for enterprise DAS deployments, providing the carrier-connected source layer that feeds the DAS and supports coordinated access to AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.
CTS manages signal-source planning, carrier coordination, deployment, monitoring, optimization, and lifecycle support. Forte can support a new DAS or provide a path forward when an existing source is changing or no longer supportable.
CTS can design, deploy, operate, and support qualified cellular and public safety DAS infrastructure through a predictable service model. Where appropriate, this can reduce upfront capital requirements and align infrastructure costs with a recurring operating model.
Services can include 24/7 monitoring, maintenance, troubleshooting, defined response processes, and lifecycle management. Commercial structures vary by project and are confirmed during planning.
CTS designs and deploys multi-carrier cellular DAS for complex healthcare environments, including inpatient towers, emergency departments, imaging areas, below-grade spaces, parking structures, and support facilities.
Each system is engineered around the facility, required carriers, construction conditions, user needs, and long-term operating model.
CTS provides public safety DAS and ERRCS assessment, design, installation, testing, documentation, monitoring, maintenance, and recertification support.
Solutions are developed around applicable NFPA and IFC requirements and the direction of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction to support reliable first-responder radio coverage throughout the facility.
CTS MMRD provides 24/7 monitoring, preventive maintenance, remote diagnostics, repair coordination, and nationwide field dispatch for qualified DAS and wireless infrastructure.
The goal is to identify issues earlier, establish clear support responsibility, reduce complaint-driven response, and keep critical infrastructure supportable over time.
CTS helps Premier members identify the level of action that fits the condition of the infrastructure, carrier requirements, public safety obligations, operational priorities, and budget readiness.
Preserve viable infrastructure, establish visibility, and identify emerging issues before they affect service.
MMRD monitoring, maintenance, documentation, and lifecycle planning
Correct identified gaps, replace unsupported components, change the signal source, or add carrier support while retaining infrastructure that remains useful.
DAS remediation, upgrades, and Forte Neutral Source
Define the technical path, schedule, phasing, budget, and operational requirements before the system reaches a critical deadline.
Neutral Host DAS, public safety DAS / ERRCS, and coordinated lifecycle planning
Use an as-a-Service model when project requirements and commercial conditions support recurring investment and long-term operational accountability.
Cellular DAS as-a-Service, public safety DAS as-a-Service, Forte, and managed operations
The objective is not to force every system toward replacement. It is to preserve what remains viable, address immediate gaps, plan future investment, and avoid preventable urgency.

Premier Contract PP-FA-2217 covers cellular and public safety Distributed Antenna System (DAS) and Emergency Responder Radio Communication System (ERRCS) solutions from CTS. Contracted offerings include turnkey cellular DAS, Forte managed signal source, MMRD monitoring and support, turnkey public safety DAS, and qualified cellular and public safety DAS as-a-Service options.
Contact CTS through this page and identify your organization and project. CTS will confirm Premier member eligibility, discuss the facility requirements, define the project scope, and establish locally negotiated pricing and the required member agreement. Your organization’s procurement and approval requirements continue to apply.
Eligible participating facilities may use the contract for covered cellular and public safety DAS / ERRCS solutions. CTS will confirm the facility’s eligibility and applicable requirements with the member during the contracting process.
Timing depends on facility size, project scope, existing infrastructure, design requirements, carrier coordination, permitting, Authority Having Jurisdiction requirements, equipment availability, and construction access. CTS develops the project schedule after discovery and engineering so the member can plan around facility operations and capital priorities.
The Premier contract provides established terms that can help streamline sourcing and contracting. Each member sets its own procurement, approval, and competitive-bid requirements, so CTS will work with your supply chain or procurement team to follow the appropriate process.
The initial conversation helps clarify what changed, what is known about the current DAS and signal source, what documentation is available, which carriers are required, and what level of follow-up may be appropriate. It is not a free RF audit or system-health certification. Formal testing, engineering validation, carrier coordination, or detailed upgrade planning may require a separate paid scope.
Yes. CTS MMRD can provide 24/7 monitoring, preventive maintenance, remote diagnostics, repair coordination, and field dispatch for qualified CTS-deployed and third-party DAS infrastructure. CTS first evaluates the system, documentation, alarm condition, and supportability to define the appropriate service scope.
Where appropriate, Network-as-a-Service can reduce the need for a large upfront capital investment and shift qualified infrastructure costs toward a predictable recurring service model. The commercial structure depends on the facility, network architecture, service term, carrier requirements, and project scope. CTS works with finance, procurement, IT, and facilities stakeholders to determine whether the model fits the organization’s priorities.
