Hi,

A DAS is a distribution system for radio signals trough big buildings like hospitals shopping malls airports and metro networks. It connects a single base station to multiple small antennas covering the entire system. At the same time it can serve multiple radio networks.

As any RF system like GSM LTE TETRA or Analor PMR radio can use a DAS I expect that Lora can use it too.
Due to the narrowband character of the signal I expect no problems with transport trough the DAS.
As of the positive linkbudget of LoRa i do expect a gateway to be able to receive a direct signal from some nodes and the same signal trough the DAS. LoRaWAN can handle this situation with no problem.

You may send me a DM for further discussion on this topic.
