Overview
With the increasing popularity and reliance on
wireless voice and data services, subscribers
expect to have coverage at anytime, anywhere.
In addition to increased wireless device usage,
wireless service providers implementing 3G
technologies have recognized a reduction in
coverage patterns within existing coverage
footprints, opening coverage “holes” within the
network. To resolve this issue, it requires service
providers to extend coverage and/or increase
capacity within the non-coverage areas. This has
been traditionally accomplished by adding new
macro cell towers; however, with city centers
becoming more congested and local government
zoning regulations becoming more stringent,
obtaining permits for new macro cell sites is
becoming increasingly difficult. The URH offers
service providers a flexible, small form factor
solution to extend coverage and capacity where
needed, as well as support for the increasing
number of protocols and frequencies available
today and in the future.
Application
The URH uses patented digital-over-fiber
technology to distribute RF to desired locations.
The URH digitizes the entire designated RF band
and digitally transports it over dark fiber or
millimeter wave (MMW) links and reconstructs
the signal at full bandwidth, regardless of
modulation technology, at the remote location.
ADC’s digital RF transport allows RF signals to
be replicated at full dynamic range, independent
of the link length, for improved data throughput.
As service providers migrate to 3G and 4G
networks, high-data rate broadband services,
networks utilizing a URH backbone will be ready.
The URH offers a flexible architecture to distribute
wireless coverage and capacity. Its versatility
and small form factor allow service providers
to quickly deploy networks in areas where zoning
restrictions often hinder installation of traditional
macro cell towers and base stations.
Centralization of base station capacity can also
be realized using the URH. This allows service
providers to further benefit by reducing capital
expenditures and annual operating costs.
