Dean Fresonke, Executive Vice PresidentMany commercial building owners and facility managers routinely receive complaints from their tenants and employees about weak indoor cellular signal. As the overall use of cellular data grows, the available capacity of the cellular network decreases and in-building network performance suffers the most. While the rollout of 5G is making headlines, it does not solve the in-building coverage problem. “AT&T and Verizon are deploying outdoor 5G networks using spectrum that has virtually zero penetration into buildings,” noted Fresonke.
Businesses and building owners need to ensure reliable, uninterrupted cellular coverage, not only to improve productivity but also to retain employees and tenants. Distributed antenna systems (DAS) are a tried and true method to bringcellular service inside a building. However, a DAS installation requires both the distributed antenna system itself and radio sources from the mobile operators to enablethe cellular service. DAS equipment and installation services are available from a wide range of high-quality manufacturers and experienced installers. The missing link for many DAS projects is the cellular signal sources needed to power the DAS. With their focus on outdoor 5G, the cellular network operators have very little time and budget to supply signal sources for in-building DAS deployments. Unless the building is on the scale of a sports stadium, airport or convention center, the mobile network operators will likely decline to participate, leaving it to building owners to purchase their DAS and then try to figure out how to get a cellular signal source without assistance from the operators.
ClearSky is addressing this critical need for fully operator approved, in-building cellular signal sources for building owners, property managers, and tenants.
We effectively monitor and maintain the radio sources throughout the life of the project and act as the single point of contact for all interactions with the mobile network operators
The company has been offering managed cellular infrastructure as a service to wireless operators for almost two decades. Using this experience, ClearSky developed ForteNeutral Source™—a turnkey service that combines cellular radios and ongoing services to power in-building DAS. It’s a complete package of hardware, software, and ongoing management that effectively provides any combination of AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint cellular signal needed for a DAS installation. “With a relatively small increase to the overall DAS project budget, we can guarantee the delivery, installation, and ongoing operation of the cellular signal,” says Fresonke. ClearSky acts as the single point of contact for all interactions with the mobile network operators and monitors and maintains the signal sources throughout the life of the project.
With along history of working with the wireless network operators, ClearSky has developed strong relationships that ensure the DAS buyer gets the cellular service they need on a reliable schedule and within budget. “Our solution is tailored to quickly solve the problem of indoor cellular coverage for smaller buildings that do not have the attention of the wireless operators, including commercial buildings, hotels, hospitals, and manufacturing facilities,” explains Fresonke.
With the recent announcement from the Federal government on the availability of high-quality radio spectrum called “CBRS” for private use, the company has now begun offering private LTE within its portfolio of services. “Our customers and partners can count on us to power in-building projects across a range of needs, from traditional cellular networks to highly secure private LTE networks dedicated to the needs of the property and enterprise,” states Fresonke.

Shush Inc. partners with ClearSky Technologies to revolutionize Network Authentication and wireless data solutions across North America. #NetworkInnovation
DALLAS, TEXAS, UNITED STATES-- Shush Inc., a leading provider of innovative Network Authentication solutions, is excited to announce a strategic alliance with Orlando, Florida-based ClearSky Technologies, a premier provider of cutting-edge wireless technology solutions specializing in the optimization of wireless data traffic and A2P message delivery. This alliance marks a significant milestone in advancing Network Authentication solutions, leveraging the expertise and resources of both organizations to deliver comprehensive network solutions tailored to the evolving needs of enterprises across North America.
ClearSky Technologies delivers A2P services for regional carriers, OTT providers and MVNOs, including Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and One-Time Passwords (OTP). ClearSkyis partnering with Shush to further complement stability and trust in the authentication ecosystem. Enterprises are often attacked in the form of fraudulent numbers in A2P messaging and Artificially Inflated Traffic (AIT), causing billions of dollars to be lost.
The strategic alliance with ClearSky Technologies will enable Shush Inc. to offer Network Authentication to a robust foundation of Mobile Network Operators. ClearSky’s expertise in managing complex telecommunications issues, combined with their comprehensive suite of solutions that blend cloud-based components with local infrastructure, will greatly enhance Shush’s ability to deliver much-needed Network Authentication solutions to the wireless industry.
While top-tier carriers have invested millions in network authentication technologies, Shush and ClearSky are providing the same cutting-edge solutions to the entire industry at a fraction of the cost. This partnership brings advanced security within reach for all carriers but also significantly lowers the cost barrier, making it accessible to a broader wireless carrier market.
Eddie DeCurtis, Co-Founder & CEO of Shush Inc., expressed his enthusiasm about the alliance: "We are incredibly excited to partner with ClearSky Technologies. This collaboration significantly enhances our ability to deliver a comprehensive network solution to the wireless network marketplace. ClearSky’s managed services portfolio perfectly complements Shush Inc.'s expertise in Network Authentication, positioning us to meet and exceed the evolving needs of Mobile Network Operators. Together, we are set to revolutionize the landscape of wireless networks, offering unparalleled solutions that drive innovation and security."
Ron Willett, VP & GM of ClearSky Technologies, shared about the value of the alliance with Shush Inc.: "We are thrilled to join the Shush family and combine our product offerings with their state-of-the-art Network Authentication solution and deployment expertise. Together, we have a unique opportunity to bring enterprises a new and better way to authenticate users and increase customer satisfaction while protecting them from monetary exposure caused by AIT. This partnership will also allow our carrier partners to participate in a brand new revenue stream.”
