PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Spectrum supports up to 8 bands in a single system. Each antenna location supports those bands in modular, group pairings. Each location includes a Main Remote Access Unit (MRAU) that can power up to three additional Secondary RAUs (SRAUs), each of which support two power amplifier pairs for a total of eight amplifiers. MRAUs and SRAUs are grouped logically based on common service provider groupings and include: 850/1900, 700/700 MIMO, 800/900 SMR, 700 SISO/AWS, and so forth (see plugging in an SRAU to the existing MRAU (see Table 3 on page 19 through Table 5 on page 21 in “Specifications”).

RAUs are available in two different output power options: Standard and High Power. These can be “mixed and matched” on a system to meet the specific needs of a venue.

Since Spectrum can be configured to support as many as four cascaded runs of sixteen total Expansion Module Groups, the system configuration possibilities are seemingly endless and can scale to single systems that include as many as 128 MRAU locations, with each of those locations supporting between one and eight RF bands. And each of those band locations offers 26 dBm (P1dB) or 31 dBm (P1dB) of output power based on selecting Standard or High Power (HP) RAUs.

The system may be scaled to add new bands or RAU location sites as-needed and offers great service flexibility and performance relative to shared, wide-band amplifier systems. Each service provider may control their band of interest and enjoy the predictability in consistent service at each RAU location independent of what other operators are doing or the length the signal travels to the service area.

The RAUs are typically mounted above ceiling tiles or in out-of-sight locations as close as possible to the service area.

Figure 1 illustrates how RF and IF signals are sent between Spectrum units and modules.

NOTE: All FWD ports on all Modules are color-coded red and all REV ports are color-coded blue, which makes the DART

Remote Unit (DRU), IFEU, and RAU cabling process easier to complete.
