65.3. Coverage method
The greatest benefit of Britecell fibre optic distribution system is the possibility to
place non obtrusive antennas where the coverage is needed, i.e. near the mobile
users.
The coverage targets, in terms of signal levels, are meant to be achieved by
placing radiating points inside the building.
Antenna locations are selected in order to:
• minimise path loss to mobiles in the public areas of the building,
• minimise number of remote antenna sites.
A careful planning of antenna position allows to achieve a low attenuation radio
link, since it minimises the effect of obstacles and it brings the radiating points
close to the mobile stations, often achieving a quasi line of sight propagation.
This also greatly reduces the fading effects. As a result, good quality radio links
can be achieved with low down link and up link transmit powers.
The low power Distributed Antenna System (DAS) provides uniform and well
confined coverage inside buildings.
