Supports Comprehensive Wideband Wireless Coverage for Areas
Such as Subways, Airports and Stadiums
GSMA Mobile World Congress 2010, BARCELONA, Booth 8b109 – Powerwave
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:PWAV), a global leader in end-to-end wireless
coverage and capacity solutions, today introduced its Fiber Base Unit
(FBU), a flexible and modular platform for wideband coverage distributed
antenna systems (DAS), designed to support wireless coverage in a range
of venues including subways, airports, office buildings, shopping malls
and stadiums. |

As mobile
users continue to demand seamless wireless access wherever they roam,
dedicated in-building coverage systems are the ideal solution for
improving quality of service. Critical market requirements for these
systems include flexibility, broadband functionality, easy installation
and swift upgrades to ensure a future-proof solution. Powerwave’s FBU –
which converts and reconverts RF signals to optical signals – is easy to
install and maintain, and provides network operators, integrators and
OEMs with a cost-effective, configurable and multi-standard system for
feeding in-building coverage solutions based on Powerwave’s Nexus FT and
fiber optical repeaters.
“Operators are always challenged with providing comprehensive coverage,
especially in settings such as urban centers, transportation systems and
terminals,” said Khurram P. Sheikh, chief product and development
officer, Powerwave Technologies, Inc. “Our Fiber Base Unit offers a
small footprint with significant flexibility and functionality to ensure
repeater networks large or small can address wireless coverage system
needs today and as they evolve in the future.”
Composed of individual modules with defined functionality – such as RF
filtering, combining, remote control, alarming, optical interface and
more – the FBU is configurable with up to six fiber optical nodes with
optional wave division multiplexing (WDM). Designed for mounting in a
19-inch rack system, the unit features slot-in design for each module,
providing for easy serviceability and reconfiguration. Powerwave’s FBU
offers long-reach fiber optic distribution, and can manage up to 24
remote units per rack.
Powerwave’s FBU can be managed remotely through
Powerwave’s Netway™ Vision – an SNMP-based platform that centrally
monitors and manages critical network interconnected remote-controlled
devices – and via a third-party SNMP-compliant NMS software package.
