Super-Cell D/S RF Requirements
RF Downstream• Typical coverage; 10 - 30 Miles• Usually tall broadcast towers; 300 - 800 feet• Integrated with existing video service• Mostly single sector D/S• Higher output power per channel
– Typical transmitters are 50W or 100W Channel– One transmitter per RF channel– Waveguide combining technique
Downstream FrequenciesMMDS 2500 - 2686MHz
5
Super-Cell U/S RF Requirements
RF Upstream• Typical coverage; 10 - 30 Miles• Usually tall broadcast towers; 300 - 800 feet• Use of tower-top LNAs (low noise amplifier) to overcome
RF coaxial loss– One per each sector
• Sectorized on the Upstream– 4 sectors; 90º antennas– 8 sectors; 45º antennas
• Frequency re-use

2. Multi-cell Overlay• New frequencies• Capacity/coverage “hot
spot” fill
STRATEGY: Enter market with super-cell, add mini-cells over time, may result in complete migration in some markets
3. Complete Migration

Multi-Cell Architecture
• 3 - 7 miles radius• Multiple modulations address intra- and
inter-cellular interference

Multi-Cell Strategy• Incrementally add targeted
capacity, or market entry in high-density areas
• Use of buildings, broadcast, and wireless tower sites
• Medium coverage• Medium to high capacity• Relatively fast to deploy
11
What’s needed for Multi-Cell RF Systems
• Reduce capital cost of RF• Scaleable Multi-sector cell support
– Use the bandwidth• Smaller size for hub equipment• Quick and efficient hub deployments• Less customization; standard repeatable hub
configurations• Improved efficiency• Very low maintenance and downtime

Axity BTS
Axity BTSD/S (IF to RF) & U/S (RF to IF)
• Broadband Design; supports single channel or multi-channel signals.
• Modulation independent– supports QPSK, 16QAM; 64QAM; OFDM
• Each chassis supports up to 4 sectors with redundancy; additional sectors supported with optional configurations
• Independently scalable upstream or downstream configurations
14
Integrated BTS
• Complete modular integration• Downstream components
– RF transmission; MMDS upconversion, amplifier, output filter
• Upstream components– RF reception; LNA, MMDS receive and down-
conversion• Other network equipment
– Frequency reference standard; GPS; ABS controller; Input and output switch matrices
15
Axity Deployment Configurations
• Co-locate with access equipment– Indoor or outdoor
configurations
• RF remotely located from access equipment– Ideal for RF roof-top
installations with access equipment
