2. Introduction to the ModuLite™
Infrastructure for multiple services is currently provided through two different methods. The first
method is a parallel infrastructure based on a fiber or hybrid fiber-copper solution. In this system,
even though all operators provide mutual services with a potential for sharing, a complete
infrastructure is deployed for every operator. Multiple antennas need to be installed in every
radiation zone. Isolation between antennas is hard to control, and as a result, cross antenna
interference may cause degraded performance.
The second available solution is based on coax. Coax has different attenuation levels for
different frequencies. This leads to design constraints because the coax needs to match the
highest frequencies serviced and their respective attenuation levels. This requirement leads to
higher costs resulting from the larger diameter coax and from a more labor-intensive installation.
Foxcom Wireless’s ModuLite
TM
is a new approach. The ModuLite™ is a high-performance, cost
effective and modular In-Building system designed for multiple wireless services. It is
technically superior to other available infrastructures, and provides WSP’s and building
operators with an advanced platform for expansion and upgradability.

The ModuLite™ has unique advantages:
• Low attenuation: Singlemode fiber optic cables have virtually no attenuation (0.38dB/Km),
relieving the need to install amplifiers or any other signal enhancing in-line devices. This factor
alone greatly reduces the engineering and installation costs.
