Maximum Output Power Per Carrier

Designing for Capacity Growth

Fusion Wideband systems are deployed to enhance in-building coverage and/or to off-load

capacity from a macro cell site. In many instances, subscriber usage increases with time and the

wireless provider responds by increasing the load on the installed Fusion Wideband system. For

example, the initial deployment might only require two RF carriers, but four RF carriers may be

needed in the future based on capacity growth forecasts. There are two options for dealing with

capacity growth needs:

1 D

esign the initial coverage with a maximum Power Per Carrier for

four RF carriers. This will

likely result in additional RAUs.

2 Design the initial coverage for two RF carriers, but reserve RAU ports on the Hub for future

use. The

se ports can be used to fill potential coverage holes once the Power Per Carrier is

lowered to accommodate the two additional carriers.
