1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides basic description, application, and configuration information about the
Digivance SMR 20 Watt System. Throughout this publication, all items referenced as
“accessory items” are not furnished with the basic product and must be purchased separately.
2 SMR 20 WATT SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Digivance SMR 20 Watt System is an RF signal transport system that provides long-range
RF coverage in areas where it is impractical to place an Enhanced Base Transceiver Station
(EBTS) at the antenna site. High real estate costs and community restrictions on tower and
equipment locations often make it difficult to install the EBTS at the same location as the
antenna. The Digivance system is designed to overcome equipment placement problems by
allowing base stations to be hubbed at a central location while placing remote antennas at
optimum locations with minimal real estate requirements. With the Digivance system, RF
signals can be transported to one or more remote locations to expand coverage into areas not
receiving service or to extend coverage into difficult to reach areas such as canyons, tunnels, or
underground roadways.
2.1 Basic System Components
The basic components of a Digivance 20 Watt System and their functions are shown in
Figure 1-1. A 20 Watt system consists of the Host Unit (HU) and the Remote Unit (RU). Both
an indoor and an outdoor remote unit are available. Control and monitoring functions are
provided by the Digivance Element Management System (EMS), a PC-based software program.
In addition, various accessory items are available separately including a passive Wavelength
Division Multiplexer (WDM) system, an active Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer
(CWDM) system, primary interface panels and expansion panels (for interfacing multiple HU’s
