    REPEATER SYSTEMS OVERVIEW

    Repeater Solutions

    Distributed capacityAn airport has areas that need high capacity only at certain peak periods upon thearrival, when people are waiting for baggage, taxi, etc. To increase the trunking effi-ciency of the system, the solution should have a powerful base station that distributescapacity to a number of Repeaters for further coverage.

    Optimized capacity and extended coverageBy using Repeaters, you avoid having to over-dimension coverage, for example insparsely populated areas. And if the need for more capacity arises in the future, youcan easily replace the Repeater with a base station and then re-use the Repeater inanother low capacity area.

    Low infrastructure costsRepeaters are easy to install and require no expensive transmission equipment andless expensive site equipment.

    Multiband systemMore and more network service providers operate different systems and aim at re-using as much as possible of their infrastructure. Examples are AMPS/CDMA800,AMPS/TDMA800, CDMA 800/CDMA1900, TDMA800/TDMA1900, TDMA800/GSM1900 and GSM 900/GSM1800. A transition to 3G will accentuate this trendeven more.

    Multi-operator requirementsIn subways and similar situations, two or more network operators may have to shareRepeater equipment with the subway or railway operator.

    ManagementRepeaters, as well as other network products, must be controlled in a professionalway to ensure high system availability and reliability. Our Operation and MaintenanceSystem (OMS) is an excellent tool for controlling the entire Powerwave Repeaterproduct range.

    Todays network operators are concerned about operating costs, revenues and thepay-off periods for their investments. With this in mind, the optimal solution is obvious.The solution is Repeaters. The lowest total cost is generally related to a mix oftechnologies. The Repeater gives you the optimal solution.

    REPEATER SYSTEMS COMPACT REPEATERS

    Compact Repeaters

    The Compact Repeater The Compact Repeater is built on thesame concept as Powerwaves alreadywell-known repeater products, which arenoted for their advanced technology, flex-ibility and high quality. The genericdesign permits a wide range of productsin the 800 to 2100 MHz frequency bands.The current program covers GSM900/1800/1900, TDMA 1900 andAMPS/iDEN. The Compact Repeaterproduct range will also cover UMTS.

    The Powerwave Compact Repeater com-prises the well-proven adjustable filterdesign, which allows the operation toremotely adjust the filter bandwidth to spe-cific site conditions.

    In addition to its small size and low weight,the Compact Repeater is easy to install,operate and maintain. For some specificenvironments the Compact Repeater couldbe considered as an alternative to the high-power output Powerwave Repeater, thusoffering a cost-effective solution. Its modu-lar design means that the installed repeatercan be upgraded with additional bands at arelatively low cost.

    Volumes of mobile telephone traffic isincreasing in places such as shoppingmalls, sports facilities, parking garages,museums, on board trains, stations, air-ports and offices. Environments of thistype are complex and present major chal-lenges in terms of capacity and coverage.Network operators have a lot to gain interms of image and revenue by beingprompt in offering solutions which effec-tively satisfy users demands for opera-tional availability.

    The Powerwave Compact Repeater is acost-effective product thanks to its modu-lar design, professional monitoring toolsand great reliability. A solution which willprove over time to offer low operatingand maintenance costs. A system withlow TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

    Indoor Coverage The challenge is to provide radio cover-age in a flexible and efficient way.Among other things with reference to thedesign, it can be difficult to spread cov-erage all the way into side isles, narrowhallways, several storys, combined withdifferent building materials. Moreover, ifthere are many people constantly mov-ing, for instance in shopping malls, andthe demand for coverage varies fromone spot to another, as well as duringthe day and during the week, satisfyingthe growing demand for capacitybecomes a challenge. A distributedantenna system based on thePowerwave Compact Repeater concept,combined with an optimized radio basestation, provides a homogeneous cover-age in a complex environment in a costeffective manner.

    If you add Powerwaves ingenious andadvanced monitoring tool OMS(Operations & Maintenance System), itkeeps down costs related to frequencyplanning, service, and maintenancethroughout the systems life cycle.

    REPEATER SYSTEMS FIBER OPTIC REPEATERS

    Fiber Optic Repeaters

    THE POWER IN WIRELESS

    Powerwave fiber optic repeaters are fed with cellular signal over optic fiber instead ofover coaxial cables or from the air interface. The Fiber Optic Unit (FOU) is the genericinterface that fits all Powerwave design platforms. The FOU is a high performance, highdynamic unit, which converts the RF-signals to lightwave signals (and vice versa) anddistribute the RF signal over the fiber with far lower loss than coaxial cable.

    Special Features

    Long distance operation over singlemode fiber

    Adjustable gain for link optimizing Combined fiber operation by using WDM Full remote control of fiber optic

    repeaters Easy commissioning with Windows-

    based terminal software Alarm set-up and operation fully compat-

    ible with OMT and OMS software

    The basic building block of the network isthe transceiver board called Fiber OpticNode (FON). It is used as a sub-assemblyin the FOU which can be installed in anyPowerwave repeater, or as a stand-aloneboard in our Base Station Master Unit(BMU) or in LINDAS.

    The FON performs the conversationsbetween RF signal and light and vice versa.The FON also includes a sub-carrier to beused for data communication (fiber-to-fiber)between different nodes in the fiber opticnetwork. This feature enables the operatorto have full remote control of the fiber opticrepeater (or several) from only one accesspoint. The sub-carrier frequency is chosenso it has no effect on the cellular 800-2200MHz frequency band.

    The distribution system is built up by amaster unit and one or several fiber opticrepeaters. The system allows for themaster unit to be fed with a signal eitherdirectly from the BTS or through the air.The fiber optic repeater can distribute thereceived signal to the other co-locatedrepeaters.

    A single FOU can provide optical signalto a maximum of four other FONs andthe system is thus often built in eitherstar or chain topology. Multiple nodescan be used in a master unit to facilitatelarge distribution systems. In order toreduce the number of fibers required bythe system, wavelength division multi-plexing can be utilized to allow the samefiber to be used for both up and downlink.

    The Powerwave fiber optic distributionsystem can be seamlessly integrated intoPowerwave single-use or multi-useOperation and Maintenance System(OMS), which provides full access to allrepeaters.

    2120

    System building blocksThe Powerwave Fiber Optic Distribu-tion System consists of two basictypes of equipment. On one side is theMaster Unit either conected to theBase station over a coaxial link or overan air link. On the other side the fiberis connected to the fiber opticrepeaters and converts the optical sig-nal to RF for further distribution to theservice area.

    The system can in realtime be con-trolled from the Powerwave Operation& Maintenance Terminal (OM-Online)software or by the more sophisticatedbatch controlled Operation &Managment System (OMS).

    BMU-Basestation Master UnitThe standard Master Unit is usedwhen the Fiber Optical system is fedwith RF signal directly from one ormore BTSs over coaxial cable. TheBMU consists of a coupling field, anumber of FONs and an opticaldividers/ combiners network. Thecoupling field combines the differentsignals from different BTSs andpasses the combined signal to theFiber Optic Nodes. The opticaldividers/combiners are used after theFON to provide up to four outputs pernode. It can also include WavelengthDivision Multiplexing Modules, whenuplink and downlink are sharing thesame fiber.

    RMU- Repeater Master UnitThe Repeater Master Unit is usedwhen the distance from the BTS istoo long to feed the Fiber OpticDistribution System with signal viacoaxial cable. A standard PowerwaveRepeater is then used to provide thedonor signal to the Master Unit.Several repeaters can be used toprovide the donor signal if the distri-bution system is to handle multiplebands and/or operators.

    Expandable to accommodate all futurecellular technologies, the MosconeCenter Distributed Antenna System(DAS) currently supports CDMA, TDMA,EDGE, WCDMA GSM and iDEN as wellas SMR operations using 150, 450 and806-851 MHz frequencies. All systemcapacity resources are colocated inbase station hotels, which house BTSand Base Station Master Units (BMU). ABMU comprises the Point ofInterconnect (POI), where all RF signalsare combined, and the OpticalConversion Unit (OCU), which convertsRF signals into optical light. Optical sig-nals are distributed to remote units viafiber-optic cable.

    Powerwave technology requires only asingle common fiber for each remoteunit. At the remote units, the optical sig-nal is converted back to RF, then ampli-fied separately for each operator.Installed in non-public areas, the remoteunits are scalable, with a separateamplifier for each individual operator.After filtering and amplification, RF sig-nals are combined and fed to a commonmultiband antenna system. All activenetwork parts are remote-controlled viaan IP network.

    Capital outlayThe capital outlay between the describedsolutions is lower in the repeater casedue to only one BTS is used. Costs fortransmission, BSC connection and instal-lations are also reduced. The repeatersolution will add costs on antenna andfeeder but will overall be the most costeffective solution.

    Indoor Coverage

    Powerwave is offering a wider range ofrepeater products in the 800 to 2100 MHzfrequency range. The products are basedon a generic design platform, wellknown forhigh modularity, quality and reliability.Repeaters and other network productsmust be controlled in a effecient way toensure high system availability and reliabil-ity. The Powerwave Operation and Mainte-nance System, OMS, is an advanced soft-ware platform from which current andfuture Powerwave Repeaters can be moni-tored and controlled. Furthermore the OMScan be integrated into an overall operationand maintenance system.

    By using the OMS tool you will be able tohandle a fleet of repeaters in a multi-userenvironment with simultaneous dataaccess and high system security.

    The OMS is a completemanagement system featuring: Multi-user operation Multi-modem operation Alarm handling External alarm transfer Traffic statistics Complete security

    The system has well-developedfunctions for Operation andPreventive Maintenance, andrequires significantly less Emer-gency Maintenance. Due toPowerwaves advanced man-agement system the TCO for thePowerwave Repeater solution isfar more favorable.
