Abstract
Systems and methods for unified facility communications systems with device location are provided. One system embodiment comprises: a master unit and a plurality of remote antenna units defining a DAS. The master unit communicates with a base station to receive a base station downlink RF signal and to transmit a base station uplink RF signal. The remote antenna units radiate a remote downlink RF signal into a coverage area and receive a remote uplink RF signal from the coverage area. The master unit comprises uplink and downlink circuitry to transport user device communications, and a facility supervisory module to process facility device traffic associated with wireless facility assets in the coverage area. Facility device traffic is transported via the remote antenna units. Within the master unit, user device communications is routed via the uplink and downlink circuitry and facility device traffic is routed via the facility supervisory module.
