2.1 Introduction

The basic components of an ION-B system (please refer to ﬁ g. 2.1.) are the following:

• a Master Unit, able to bring the mobile signals from the BTS to different Remote Units and

vice-versa, thus remotising the distribution and collection of any mobile signals via ﬁ beroptic

cables;

• a variable number of Remote Units, conveying and receiving mobile signals through low-

power antennas.

A brief introduction to the main components of the ION-B system’s Master and Remote

Units is presented in the following text. The details of each component can be found in the

subsequent sections of this manual.
