6.1.3 Multiple Operator System Recommendations
As in any Unison Accel system, a multiple operator (neutral host) system requires
one Cat-5/6 cable between each Accel Hub and each RAU. In situations where Hubs
and/or RAUs will be installed in the future to support the addition of frequency bands
and/or wireless Operators, it is advantageous to install the necessary cabling initially.
Such deployment typically leads to substantial cost savings over installing parallel
cabling at separate times.
6.1.4 Distance Requirements
The following table shows the distances between Unison components and related
