System Operation

Figure 2-6 Example Neutral Host Application

Neutral host systems are deployed as shared or dedicated systems.

• Shared System: Multiple wireless Operators use the same set of LGCell hard-

ware to distribute RF signals.

• Dedicated System: Each Operator uses an independent LGCell system.

In order to simplify coverage planning and minimize installation costs, the equipment

is “clustered” and installed in groups. The number of Hubs and RAUs required for a

system is determined by their ability to be shared.

The configuration shown in Figure 2-7 supports up to 7 Operator bands.
