1.3 Basic System Architecture
Broadband RF distribution over fiber-optics infrastructure transfers converged wireless services from the IHU at the headend
towards the MRUs deployed at the remote-end locations according to user defined configuration. The IHU is a compact unit
designed to accommodate small/medium size deployments. The IHU interfaces up to eight RF sources, conditions the signals
and performs the RF to optic conversion of the signals which are then routed towards the MRU at the remote site over
single-mode fiber. Configuration and management of the system elements (i.e. IHU, and MRU) are performed via local/remote
connection to the headend control module installed in the IHU.
