5.3. Multi-Sector Applications

For this example, a single operator is present, and 2-sector coverage is required. This

conﬁ guration reﬂ ects a North American scenario, where the coverage needs involve the LMR

800 MHz, LMR 900 MHz, and the PCS 1900 MHz band.

In this case, the entire area must be covered by:

• two LMR sectors (each one served both by the LMR 800 MHz and the LMR 900 bands);

• one PCS 1900 MHz sector.

The ION-B conﬁ guration required by such a scenario is shown in Fig. 5.3, and thecorresponding

rack conﬁ guration is shown in Fig. 5.4. Please note that such a simple conﬁ guration allows

the use of up to 32 ION-B Remote Units (16 sectors per each LMR sector), thus guaranteeing

optimum coverage for the most demanding environment.
