1 Introduction
The Multi-Band Fiber optic fed system encapsulates solutions for both indoor and
outdoor environments for single or multi-operator use. It offers seamless coverage in
any indoor environment such as tunnels, subways and large buildings. Signals are
coupled off from a nearby base station using an Optical Master Unit (OMU) and then
distributed via Fiber to one or more MBF-40 repeaters.
The MBF-40's high output power allows for greater coverage whilst deploying fewer
units. Even though providing high output power, the MBF-40 uses convection cooling,
subsequently increasing the repeater's MTBF.
These remote units can be installed at a distance of up to 20 km from the base station
site, offering great flexibility when providing RF coverage in areas where off air
transmission is not a preferable solution.
A distributed antenna system (DAS) can be used to distribute the signal throughout the
area to be covered.
Axell Wireless can provide a complete solution including design, site surveys and
equipment related to the POI (Point Of Interface) such as combiners, filters, cross band
couplers, etc.
The MBF-High Power product family includes single, dual, triple and quad band options
conveniently co-located in a single, compact enclosure, as well as a five-band option
that requires an Slave unit.
