One Managed Signal Source. All Three Cellular Carriers.

Forte Neutral Source delivers a fully managed, multi-carrier signal source service designed for DAS integrators, providing enterprise-grade cellular connectivity through a simple, subscription-based model powered by CTS.

Powered by Communication Technology Services (CTS). A trusted provider of enterprise cellular infrastructure and managed services.

The Problem

In-Building Cellular Has Become Too Complex

Delivering reliable, multi-carrier cellular service inside buildings now requires navigating a complex and fragmented signal source market, carrier-by-carrier approvals, large upfront capital costs, and unpredictable upgrade cycles.

For DAS integrators, this often means:

As celluar network requirements continue to evolve, traditional approaches are no longer sustainable

The Forte Solution

A Fully Managed Signal Source Service

Forte Neutral Source replaces a fragmented signal source industry with one managed service that guarantees connectivity to all three major U.S. cellular carriers.

Owned and operated by CTS, Forte delivers multi-carrier connectivity as managed infrastructure, not a one-time hardware install. Integrators deploy with confidence, while Forte manages performance, connectivity, and lifecycle over time.

The result is simpler designs, faster approvals, and a cleaner long-term ownership model for both integrators and building owners.

Core Value Pillars

Fully Managed Signal Source

Forte is delivered as a managed service, not equipment. CTS owns and operates the signal source, managing carrier connectivity, performance, upgrades, and lifecycle so integrators are not left carrying long-term operational risk.

Benefit: Clear accountability and reduced post-install burden.

Guaranteed Connectivity to All Three Carriers

Forte guarantees access to all three major cellular carriers through a single, centralized signal source. No fragmented donor solutions. No carrier-by-carrier negotiations.

Benefit: Faster approvals and simpler system designs.

Predictable Subscription Model

Forte is delivered through a transparent subscription model that replaces large upfront capital expenses with a predictable operating cost. Upgrades, carrier changes, and ongoing support are built into the service.

Benefit: No surprise reinvestment cycles or hidden costs.

Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure, Powered by CTS

Forte is backed by the technical depth, operational scale, and carrier credibility of Communication Technology Services. This ensures long-term stability and enterprise-grade reliability.

Benefit: Reduced vendor risk and stronger customer trust.

Built for DAS Integrators

Designed to Strengthen, Not Replace, the Channel

Forte Neutral Source is purpose-built for DAS integrators. It eliminates the complexities of working with the carriers to obtain active signal sources in time when carriers are resisting further deployments of repeater or off-air signal sources.

By simplifying access to active signal sources and managing long-term connectivity, Forte enables integrators to:

  • Deliver compelling proposals with state-of-the-art equipment
  • Reduce design and approval complexity
  • Minimize long-term operational risk
  • Focus on what they do best: deploying high-quality DAS solutions

Forte integrates seamlessly into existing integrator workflows and project lifecycles.

Deployment Environments

Built for Complex, High-Demand Facilities

Forte Neutral Source is ideal for mid-sized and large buildings where reliable, multi-carrier cellular coverage and capacity is critical.

Common deployment environments include:

  • Class-A office and mixed-use developments
  • Corporate and industrial campuses
  • Civic and municipal buildings
  • Healthcare and education facilities
  • Transportation hubs and public venues

Frequently Asked Questions

Forte uses carrier-approved cellular radios that are connected back the carriers’ core networks through IP backhaul. Accessing and managing the carrier radios requires a compex business relationship with the carriers and as a result CTS must maintain ownership and responsibility for operations. As a result, Forte is a fully managed signal source service, not a hardware product. CTS owns and operates the infrastructure, manages carrier connectivity, and handles upgrades and lifecycle over time through a subscription model.

Yes. Forte Neutral Source guarantees connectivity to all three major U.S. cellular carriers through a single managed signal source.
Forte is delivered as a predictable operating expense. The subscription includes connectivity, ongoing management, upgrades, and support, eliminating large upfront capital costs and future reinvestment cycles. Specific pricing and terms are discussed during the project engagement phase.

Forte is ideally engaged during the design phase to simplify architecture, accelerate carrier coordination, and streamline approvals. However, it can also be introduced during retrofit or expansion projects.

Forte Neutral Source is owned and operated by Communication Technology Services. CTS provides the technical operations, monitoring, and long-term support for the service.

Yes. Forte is designed to support enterprise, civic, education, healthcare, and other regulated environments that require reliable, long-term cellular infrastructure.
