2.1 System Overview
InterReach Fusion Wideband is an intelligent fiber optics/CATV, multi-band (fre-
quencies) wireless networking system designed to handle both wireless voice and
data communications over licensed frequencies. It provides high-quality, ubiquitous,
seamless access to the wireless network in larger buildings.
Fusion Wideband provides RF characteristics designed for large public and private
facilities such as campus environments, airports, shopping malls, subways, conven-
tion centers, sports venues, and so on. Fusion Wideband uses microprocessors to
enable key capabilities such as software-selectable band settings, automatic gain con-
trol, ability to incrementally adjust downlink/uplink gain, end-to-end alarming of all
components and the associated cable infrastructure, and a host of additional capabili-
ties.
The Fusion Wideband system supports major wireless standards and air interface pro-
tocols in use around the world, including:
• Frequencies: 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz,
2100 MHz, 2500 MHz, 2600 MHz.
• Voice Protocols: AMPS, TDMA, CDMA, GSM/EGSM, WCDMA, LTE, WiMAX
