1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides basic description, application, and configuration information about the
Digivance SCS system. Throughout this publication, all items referenced as “accessory items”
are not furnished with the basic product and must be purchased separately.
2 SCS SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Digivance Long Range Coverage Solution (LRCS) system is an RF signal transport system
that provides long-range RF coverage to 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 LRCS system overcomes equipment placement problems by
hubbing base stations at a central location and placing antennas at remote locations with
minimal real estate requirements. The LRCS system transports RF signals to 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.
The SCS system provides the same functionality as the LRCS system but incorporates a low
profile, low power, low cost remote unit. The SCS system remote unit complements the high
power remote unit used with LRCS systems. The primary application includes urban areas
where multiple, strategically placed, low power remote units provide better coverage than high
power remote units.
2.1 Basic SCS System Components
The basic components of a typical Digivance SCS system and their function are shown in
Figure 1-1. A basic SCS system consists of a Host Unit (HU) and a Remote Unit (RU). The HU
consists of a rack-mountable chassis that is designed for use in an indoor environment. The RU
consists of a sealed enclosure that is designed for use in an outdoor environment. Control and
monitoring functions are provided by the Digivance Element Management System (EMS).
