Businesses can use distributed antenna systems (DAS), which are specific to the indoor environment and the signal emitted by small antennas distributed in different locations.
The 17 stations of the Linha 5-Lilás, 12 of which are underground. At the end of Tunisia there is 12 km of extension, which prevents signal penetration from existing antennas at the solo level.
