The Unified Wireless Coverage Solution

Distributed antenna systems (DAS) provide indoor coverage using a series of hubs distributing the signal to multiple remote units feeding antennas. The system is fed by centralised service inputs from a basestation (BTS) or repeater.  Active DAS systems overcome the range restrictions of passive DAS, by distributing the signal over optical fibre and using active remote units to amplify it to the necessary level. This ensures good coverage regardless of distance from the central location. Thus active DAS systems do not suffer from the attenuation losses inherent in passive DAS systems, allowing them to cover larger areas and buildings.


Zinwave’s Active Wideband DAS solution transports the full wideband frequency range throughout the system, without filtering or frequency conversion, and delivers sufficient power per carrier to ensure an economic area of coverage. It is a high quality ‘true wideband’ in-building coverage system for multiple, simultaneous cellular/wireless services, combining the advantages of both passive and traditional active solutions.

Why Choose Zinwave's Wideband Active DAS? :


Frequency Flexibility

The same hardware in the hub and remote unit (RU), independent of the frequencies and number of bands to be distributed.


Scalability

The wideband feature and flexible architecture offering multi-star topologies make it ideal for all building sizes and number of services, from small single service to large multi-operator multi-service installations.


Flexible Connectivity

Zinwave’s fibre agnostic solution is the only solution that allows the distribution of multiple frequencies over multi-mode fibre over large distances, but it can also be used over single-mode fibre.  The connection to the remote units can be over fibre or coaxial cable giving further flexibility.


Low Cost

Lowest cost per square foot for any size building is achieved with:


  • a wideband system with common hardware that does not require overlay for additional services.
  • remote units that provide optimum power per carrier ensuring economic coverage areas.

Future Proof = investment protection

Adding new services in the future is easily accommodated without change to hardware or connectivity.  Frequency migration to other parts of the spectrum for existing services is also easily accommodated in the same way.
