In this episode of DAS Talk, Gamma VP, Peter Weyhreter and co-host Gilbert Martinez sit down with Roman Salvador, a seasoned Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and public safety communications expert, to unpack what actually matters in real-world DAS deployments. Roman shares his unique journey from IT and structured cabling into the DAS and emergency responder communications space—bringing a field-first mindset that many OEMs and designers overlook. From grounding issues that plague installations to the critical role of design in life-safety systems, this conversation cuts through theory and focuses on execution. You’ll also hear about innovative testing equipment Roman developed to protect sensitive RF ports during field operations—saving time, money, and costly mistakes. Throughout the episode, one message is clear: “It’s a life safety thing.” This episode is a must-watch for field engineers, designers, integrators, AHJs, and anyone involved in public safety DAS, ERCES, and in-building communications.
