InCell™ Fiber Optic Distributed Antenna System Description
The subsystem consists of one or more Central Distribution Units (CDU) feeding multiple
Remote Antenna Units (RAU).
Figure 1. InCell™
This unit can drive up to 6 RAU’s. Additional CDU’s can be driven using one or more of
our Signal Distribution Units (SDU). The required signal distribution is built into the back-
plane of the chassis minimizing the need for interconnecting cables. Our design is
intrinsically optimized for new technologies operating at higher bandwidths.
Unlike other competing products, this product is designed for multi-operator, multi-service
capabilities with higher output levels and lower system sensitivities. This equates to greater
coverage range per antenna unit and hence lower implementation costs. When complete,
this product will be available in both single-band units, i.e., US Cellular, GSM 900, US
PCS-1900, and DCS-1800, and dual band units in which both low and high band services
are supported within the same unit using the same fiber pair.
