1 INTRODUCTION
The Multi-Band Fiber optic fed system encapsulates solutions for single or multi-operator use. It
offers seamless coverage in any indoor environment such as tunnels, subways and large buildings.
Signals are coupled off from a nearby base station using an Optical Master Unit (OMU) and then
distributed via Fiber to one or more MBF-40 repeaters.
The MBF-40's high output power allows for greater coverage whilst deploying fewer units. Even
though providing high output power, the MBF-40 uses convection cooling, subsequently increasing
the repeater's MTBF.
These remote units can be installed at a distance of up to 20 km from the base station site, offering
great flexibility when providing RF coverage in areas where off air transmission is not a preferable
solution.
A distributed antenna system (DAS) can be used to distribute the signal throughout the area to be
covered.
Cobham Wireless can provide a complete solution including design, site surveys and equipment
related to the POI (Point Of Interface) such as combiners, filters, cross band couplers, etc.
Note the following:
• For sites requiring FCC compliance, the system can only be installed for in-building applications.
• For sites requiring IC compliance (Canada), the system can be installed for both in-building and
outdoor applications.
