The URH improves wireless network coverage and capacity by extendingservices from existing cell sites, to hard-to-reach areas by distributing coverage from acentralized radio suite.Utilizing a centralized distributed architecture, service providers are able to recognizesignificant CAPEX savings through a shared Base Station Hotel (multiple BTS co-locatedtogether), as well as a shared Remote Radio Transceiver approach. The URH’s flexibilityand scalability offers service providers an optimal solution for multiple applications suchas; a dense urban center, dense suburban area, campus, enterprise buildings, subwaysand tunnels. The URH’s distributed architecture and small form factor allows serviceproviders to cost-effectively increase coverage and capacity in these hard-to-reach areas.Features and Benefits:Flexible Architecture- Supports multiple frequency bands and wireless protocols in oneenclosure- Scalable and modular- Multiple non-contiguous segments of 1.5 to 35 MHz- BTS interface supporting RF and OBSAI/CPRI (future) standards- Transport rates supporting Dark Fiber and Millimeter Wave- Field upgradeableUser Friendly- Embedded element management system, supports web based access andSNMP- Fully sealed, maintenance free, for harsh outdoor applicationsCost Effective- Efficient use of CAPEX equipment and real estate

To resolve this issue, it requires serviceproviders to extend coverage and/or increasecapacity within the non-coverage areas. This hasbeen traditionally accomplished by adding newmacro cell towers; however, with city centersbecoming more congested and local governmentzoning regulations becoming more stringent,obtaining permits for new macro cell sites isbecoming increasingly difficult. The URH offersservice providers a flexible, small form factorsolution to extend coverage and capacity whereneeded, as well as support for the increasingnumber of protocols and frequencies availabletoday and in the future.ApplicationThe URH uses patented digital-over-fibertechnology to distribute RF to desired locations.The URH digitizes the entire designated RF bandand digitally transports RF over dark fiber ormillimeter wave (MMW) links and reconstructsthe signal at full bandwidth, regardless ofmodulation technology at the remote location.ADC’s digital RF transport allows RF signals to bereplicated at full dynamic range, independent ofthe link length, for improved data throughput.As service providers migrate to 3G and G4networks, high data rate broadband services,networks utilizing a URH backbone will be ready.The URH offers a flexible architecture todistribute wireless coverage and capacity. Itsversatility and small form factor allows serviceproviders to quickly deploy networks in areaswhere zoning restrictions often hinderinstallation of traditional macro cell towersand base stations.Centralization of base station capacity canalso be realized using URH. This allows serviceproviders to further benefit by reducingcapital expenditures and annual operatingcosts.System DescriptionThe URH is a flexible and cost effectivesolution for Distributed Antenna Systemapplications: Microcell and/or CPRI/OBSAIRemote Radio Head applications:Next Generation DAS; optimized formultiple frequency bands, scalable RFbandwidth & transport ratesFlexible SeRF Technology: serial RFprocessing, enabling scalable frequencybands and bandwidthsDigital RF Transport: Digitally transportRF from the BTS to remote locations fordistribution of RF signalsFuture Enhancements Will Include:CPRI/OBSAI; flexibility to support BTSinterface standardsMicrocell; fully contained capacitysolution utilizing cost efficient lowbit-rate IP backhaulIP ready platform; smooth integration toIP front/backhaul networks9/07FlexWave™Universal Radio Head
FlexWave™Universal Radio HeadUniversal Radio Head for Flexible Outdoor Coverage and CapacityH o s t U n i tThe rack-mountable Host Unit is typically locatedat a Base Station or a facility housing a suite ofBase Stations. On the forward path, the Host Unitreceives the RF signal from the BTS and digitizesthe designated RF band and digitally transports itover singlemode fiber or a millimeter wave link toa Remote Unit. In the reverse path, the Host Unitreceives the digitized RF signal from the RemoteUnit and converts it back to RF for the BTS.The URH Host Unit is completely modular indesign, with all major modules; SeRF (Serial RF)card, DART (Digital/Analog Radio Transceiver)card, Power Supply, System board and Fan beinghot swappable.The URH Host Unit supports up to eight DARTcards (supporting up to eight remote units) and iscapable of simulcasting signals up to as many aseight Remote Units.The Host Unit utilizes an embedded elementmanagement system for system configurationand network monitoring. The embedded EMScollects alarm information from both the Host andRemote Units. For multiple link deployments,multiple Host Units can be networked together atthe same BTS site. Host Units can bedaisy-chained together to allow monitoring andcontrol of multiple Remote Units from a singleuser interface.In addition to sending alarm notifications to theElement Management System (EMS) throughsoftware, the URH Host Unit also features frontpanel alarm reporting. LEDs on the front panel ofthe Host Unit will change color depending on thestatus of the unit. LED displays provideinformation regarding the following items:PowerSystem mode (active/standby)Indicate faulty unitRF conditionsR e m o t e U n i tThe URH Remote Unit utilizes a modulardesign, which supports up to three bands.Each side panel/door represents a singleband allowing for future upgrades and easyfield access. Mounting options for theRemote Unit include: pole-mount, insidepole-mount, wall-mount, strand-mount(singe-band unit only), and sub-terrainvault-mount.The URH Remote Unit is a fully sealed IP-65rated enclosure, which minimizesmaintenance and is ideal for harshenvironments. Fiber, antenna, and powerinput/output connectors are all sealed formaximum protection.On the forward path, the Remote Unitreceives the digitized spectrum from theHost Unit and converts the spectrum backinto RF to be distributed via an externallymounted antenna system. On the reversepath, the Remote Unit digitizes thedesignated RF spectrum and digitallytransports it over singlemode fiber or MMWto the Host Unit.In addition to sending alarm notifications tothe EMS software, the URH Remote Unitalso features LED alarm reporting.

Alarm and Management SystemThe URH utilizes an embedded networkmanagement for system configuration andnetwork monitoring. The elementmanagement system (EMS) utilizes a webbased interface or SNMP protocol for easyaccesses to the system.The Element Management System (EMS)provides operational and maintenancecapabilities for the URH system (Host andRemote). The EMS can be used to accessand monitor status of any Host and anyassociated Remote Units. The EMS has theability to view status and parametersettings, download software, changeparameters and monitor systemperformance and alarmsAccess and troubleshooting can also beaccomplished on-site at either the HostUnit and/or the Remote Unit by utilizing acraft interface. Thus, allowing techniciansthe ability to plug-in a laptop and access allassociated units connected to it.Host Site CapabilitiesThe EMS performs the following functions atthe Host site:Provides real-time information regardingfaultsSet up simulcast ratiosDigital timing delaysDisplays various system level values (voltages,RF, power, etc.)Records and generates history reportswith time and date stampsAdjusts performance related parametersof the Host Unit and Remote UnitPermits placement of Host Unit andRemote Unit into standby modeAllows download of new softwareversions to the Host Unit and RemoteUnitsNetwork Monitoring CapabilitiesThe embedded EMS allows for remote alarmmonitoring and network control of the URHcan also be performed from an off-sitelocation or Network Operation Center (NOC).Communications to the NOC can beperformed using the web based interface orSNMP protocol.The EMS performs the following functions atoff-site locations such as the NOC:Provides real-time informationregarding faultsDisplays various system level values(voltages, RF, power, etc.)Adjusts performance-relatedparameters of the Host Unit andRemote UnitPermits placement of Host Unit andRemote Unit into standby modeAccess records and generates historyreports with time and date stampsAllows download of new softwareversions to the Host Unit and RemoteUnitsFlexWave™Universal Radio HeadUniversal Radio Head for Flexible Outdoor Coverage and Capacity9/07FlexWave™Universal Radio Head
