supports up to four frequency bands delivering high-performance coverage with
end-to-end management.
The FlexWave Prism enhances wireless networks in outdoor locations and large
venues in an easy and cost-effective manner. Based on patented technology and
ADC’s 15-year leadership in outdoor wireless distributed antenna system (DAS)
technology, FlexWave Prism offers mobile operators a small, light, and flexible
solution for extending macro network coverage for 2G, 3G, and 4G services.
The new FlexWave Prism system is ideal for enhancing outdoor and indoor coverage
in cities, suburbs, canyons, tunnels, campuses, stadiums, and other public areas. It is
35 percent lighter and up to 60 percent smaller than the FlexWave URH product it
replaces, and is available in four different cabinet sizes to support one, two, three or
four frequency bands. Operators can future-proof their deployments by purchasing
a larger cabinet and adding more frequency bands when needed. FlexWave Prism uses
ADC’s proven radio head technology and management system along with an IP-65
rated remote.

1.2 BASIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS
A very basic Prism system consists of a Host Unit (Host) and a Remote Unit (Remote):
•• The Host is a three rack unit high chassis with multiple cards that mounts in a
standard equipment rack.
•• The Remote consists of multiple electronic and optical modules mounted in an
outdoor enclosure.
On an optional basis, the Prism system supports reverse path diversity. In addition,
various accessory items including a passive Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM)
system, Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer (CWDM) system, and expansion
panels are available as accessories.
Control and monitoring functions are provided by the FlexWave Element
Management System (EMS).
Some examples of FlexWave Prism Systems are shown in Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2,
Figure 1-3.

1.3 MULTI-HOST SYSTEMS
ADC’s FlexWave Prism provides a Multi-Host feature that allows a Prism Remote to be
shared by multiple Host Units. To accomplish this:
•• One Host is designated as the IP Manager for a set of Remotes; this Host can serve
as IP manager for multiple Remotes. As the IP Manager, the managing Host
controls the exchange of management data with the Remote(s).
•• There is no Host to Host connectivity.
•• A Prism Remote can receive bands over multiple fibers that originate on different
Hosts. However, only one Host, the IP Manager, can manage the Remote. If a Host
attempts to manage a Remote already under the management of an IP Manager,
the second Host causes an IP Conflict fault (see “Viewing Host SeRF Optical Ports”
on page 224).
•• All the Hosts in a Multi-Host network can be configured to serve as clock master.
Each Host will be configured with a priority level in the range of
with the priority level of
distributes the clock in the network. If the Host
designated as clock master fails or shuts down, the Host with the next highest
priority level takes over. (For information on setting the master clock, see “Set the
Clock Priority Level” on page 150.)

•• The Host that manages the Remote must be able to provision one or more
passbands on that Remote for which the Host does not have a DART card. Remote
DARTs are linked back to one or more Hosts in a Multi-Host system.

1.5 E911 SUPPORT
The DART type determines the maximum number of links, where there can be up to
8 DARTs for a 35MHz spectrum and up to 4 DARTs for a <
E911 support may be achieved by using a configuration similar to the one shown in
Figure 1-8. Remote simulcasting in this configuration requires analog splitting and
combining to and from the individual Host DARTs. External analog
splitting/combining ensures that the E911 system receives uplink signals from each
Remote location before they are combined with uplink signals from the other
Remotes in the simulcast.
