1.2 Key Features

The Uniwave solution provides the following key features:

• Wideband 150 – 6000MHz capability

• Supports single star or double star topologies, supporting up to 64 Remote Units.

• Single mode Fiber (SMF) from head-end to antenna

• Supports Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD)

• Modular Primary and dedicated Secondary Hubs, with 48V PSU functionality for powering

Remote Units incorporated in Secondary Hub.

• Support for long fiber distances (typically 2 km per fiber) thanks to accurate measurement of

optical loss (5dBo max).

• Self-calibrating system - gain levels are adjusted automatically to accommodate different

cable length and optical losses.

• Hot-swappable Modules

• Web-based configuration and management system including SNMP v3 monitoring.

• Unique service distribution matrix on the Hubs provides flexibility on how the services are

routed within a deployment

1.3 Network Topologies

Uniwave supports a number of configuration topologies making it a flexible system that can support

small venues to very large facilities and campuses. This, coupled with Uniwave’s wideband attributes,

enable system growth for both coverage of additional areas or buildings, or for adding support for new

frequencies, wireless operators or services. The Uniwave system can range from a single Primary Hub

and Remote Unit (a 1-1 configuration) to a maximum configuration consisting of a Primary Hub, 8

associated Secondary Hubs, and 64 Remote Units (a 1-8-64 configuration).

1.3.1 Single-Star Configuration

In its single star fiber-to-antenna topology, Uniwave supports a Primary Hub with up to 8 Remote Units.
