Antenna System

Andrew's InCell fiber-optic distributed antenna system for in-building wireless communications improves and extends RF coverage in hard-to-penetrate indoor areas. To support future growth, the system can be upgraded to accommodate 3G services. It uses single-mode optical fiber cable to distribute RF signals between a central RF hub and remote antenna units (RAUs). The system comprises a central distribution unit (CDU) that interfaces with up to six remote antenna units placed throughout the building to provide RF coverage. The CDU distributes and collects voice and data signals through individual pairs of fiber cable from each RAU. Multiple InCell systems may be cascaded together to support more than 240 antennas from a single sector to provide RF coverage in areas such as multistoried office and apartment buildings and airports. - www.andrew.com or 972-952-9700
