Outdoor Distributed Antenna System RADIUS is intended to provide GSM-R, LTE, UMTS, and GSM coverage along railways, roads and rural areas. The system allows increasing network capacity efficiency and reducing infrastructure cost (CAPEX/OPEX).
oDAS RADIUS is designed for integration with GSM-R, LTE FDD, UMTS, and GSM networks, and provides serial distribution of up to 4 sectors (frequency bands) of a base station (BTS) to cover long-distance territories such as roads and railways.
RADIUS FSC is installed at the site with a base station and receives from BTS (RRH or RSU) the GSM-R, GSM, UMTS, and LTE carriers, converts them to MWL or to fiber optic channel and transmits over a distance.
RADIUS FSR is installed at the remote site and receives and converts two carriers (optionally, up to 4) from MWL or fiber optic to cellular signals providing remote sectors similar to BTS (one carrier in each sector). In addition, it amplifies and transmits the received signal further along the line (using fiber optic or integrated MWL) to the next site equipped with RADIUS FSR.
SM module is designed to generate additional sectors at the site equipped with FSR, and to provide MIMO technology as well.
