In addition to increased wireless device usage, wireless service providers implementing 3G technologies have recognized a reduction in coverage patterns within existing coverage footprints, opening coverage “holes” within the network. To resolve this issue, it requires service providers to extend coverage and/or increase capacity within the non-coverage areas. This has been traditionally accomplished by adding new macro cell towers; however, with city centers becoming more congested and local government zoning regulations becoming more stringent, obtaining permits for new macro cell sites is becoming increasingly difficult. The Prism offers service providers a flexible, small form factor solution to extend coverage and capacity where needed, as well as support for the increasing number of protocols and frequencies available today and in the future. Features and Benefits:Flexible Architecture • Supports multiple frequency bands and wireless protocols in one enclosure –Scalable and modular –Multiple non-contiguous segments of 1.5 to 75 MHz each –BTS interface supporting RF and OBSAI/CPRI standards (Future) –Transport rates supporting Dark Fiber and Millimeter Wave –Field upgradeable –User Friendly• Embedded element management system, supporting web based access and SNMP –Fully sealed, maintenance free electronics for harsh outdoor applications –Cost Effective• Efficient use of CAPEX equipment and real estate –FlexWave™ – ADC’s Next Generation of Wireless Solutions for Improving Wireless Capacity, Coverage, Flexibility and Customer RetentionADC’s FlexWave™ Prism is the most flexible, scalable and complete solution for addressing coverage and capacity needs for current and emerging wireless networks. The Prism improves wireless network coverage and capacity by extending services from existing cell sites, to hard-to-reach areas by distributing coverage from a centralized radio suite. Utilizing a centralized distributed architecture, service providers are able to recognize significant CAPEX/OPEX savings through a shared Base Station Hotel (multiple BTS co-located together), as well as a shared Remote Radio Transceiver approach. The Prism’s flexibility and scalability offers service providers an optimal solution for multiple applications such as; dense urban centers, dense suburban areas, campuses, enterprise buildings, subways and tunnels. The Prism’s distributed architecture and small form factor allows service providers to cost-effectively increase coverage and capacity in these hard-to-reach areas.

The Prism digitizes the entire designated RF band and digitally transports it over dark fiber or millimeter wave links and reconstructs the signal at full bandwidth, regardless of modulation technology, at the remote location. ADC’s digital RF transport allows RF signals to be replicated at full dynamic range, independent of the link length, for improved data throughput. As service providers migrate to 3G and 4G networks, high-data rate broadband services, networks utilizing a Prism backbone will be ready.The Prism offers a flexible architecture to distribute wireless coverage and capacity. Its versatility and small form factor allow service providers to quickly deploy networks in areas where zoning restrictions often hinder installation of traditional macro cell towers and base stations. Centralization of base station capacity can also be realized using the FlexWave Prism. This allows service providers to further benefit by reducing capital expenditures and annual operating costs.System DescriptionThe FlexWave Prism is a flexible and cost effective solution for Distributed Antenna System applications: Microcell and/or CPRI/OBSAI Remote Radio Head applications:Next Generation DAS; optimized for multiple frequency bands, scalable RF bandwidth & transport rates• Flexible SeRF technology; serial RF processing, enabling scalable frequency bands and bandwidths• Digitial RF Transport; Digitally transports RF from the BTS to remote locations for distribution of RF signals.• Digital simulcast; signal is digitally combined and split to mulitple remotes• Future enhancements will include:CPRI/OBSAI; flexibility to support BTS interface standards• Microcell; fully contained capacity solution utilizing cost efficient low bit-rate IP backhaul• IP ready platform; smooth integration to IP front/backhaul networks• BaseStation 1BaseStation 2BaseStation 3OBSAI/CPRI toSeRF Converter RF to SeRF Converter RFRFRF to SeRF Converter SeRF BoardBackhaulDataMultiplexed SeRF over Fiber Multiplexed SeRF over mm-wave SeRF SeRFSeRF Multiband, protocol-agnostic Universal Radio HeadMultiplexed SeRF over mm-wave OBSAI/CPRIHOSTREMOTESSample System Configuration (3 Band 3 Remote Simulcast)

On the forward path, the Host Unit receives the RF signals from the BTS and digitizes the designated RF bands and digitally transports them over single mode fiber or a millimeter wave link to the Remote Units. On the reverse path, the Host Unit receives the digitized RF signals from the Remote Unit and converts them back to RF for the BTS. The Prism Host Unit is completely modular in design. Digital/Analog Radio Transceiver (DARTS) are hot swappable providing easy upgrades to addtional bands without interrupting existing service. The Prism Host Unit supports up to eight DART cards (supporting up to eight Remote Units) and is capable of simulcasting signals up to as many as eight Remote Units. The Host Unit utilizes an embedded element management system for system configuration and network monitoring. The embedded EMS collects alarm information from both the Host and Remote Units. For multiple link deployments, multiple Host Units can be networked together at the same BTS site. In addition to sending alarm notifications to the Element Management System (EMS) through software, the Prism Host Unit also features front panel alarm reporting. LEDs on the front panel of the Host Unit will change color depending on the status of the unit. LED displays provide information regarding the following items:Power• System mode (active/standby)• Indicate unit fault condition• RF conditions• Host Unit
