Microconnect distributed antenna

Microconnect distributed antennas (MDA) are small-cell local area (100 metre radius[1]) transmitter-receivers usually fitted to lampposts and other street furniture[2] in order to provide Wireless LAN, GSM and GPRS connectivity. They are therefore less obtrusive than the usual masts and antennas used for these purposes and meet with less public opposition.
