6. Zinwave Technology

7. Unique 3000 System Features
Active Wideband, No Filtering
Multiple Services from VHF through WiMax on a Single System
Low Parts Count – No Service Specific Components – Simple Spares
Multimode Fiber, Single Mode Fiber or a Mix
MMF or SMF with Standard Optical Connectors (APC Not Required)
Single Star, Double Star or Mixed Configuration
Selective Routing of Services
Automatic self calibration (cable loss compensation)
Can carry TDD services along with FDD (Separate Tx & Rx Paths)

8. RADIO OVER FIBER TECHNOLOGY
The Wideband approach is enabled by:
Core optical technology: high frequency RF over MMF
Installed base of MMF, allowing re-use
Fiber agnostic means MMF or SMF can be used
Wideband active Remote Unit technology
High linearity, high composite power wideband amplifiers
Dual Port antenna design
High isolation (>40dB) twin element in single housing

9. 3000 Key Components – low parts count
Hub (Front & Rear)
Optical Module
Service Module
Central Power Supply
Remote Unit - Fiber
Dual Wideband Antenna

10. SYSTEM 3000 ARCHITECTURE Remote Unit Secondary Hub Primary Hub Signal
Sources
Primary Hub feeds up to secondary Hubs
Secondary Hubs feed up to 8 Remote Units
Secondary Hub link is fiber
Remote Unit link over fiber optic cable
All fiber links either SMF or MMF
Single antenna with dual port

11. SIGNAL DISTRIBUTION MATRIX
Hub RU
Cell-CDMA RU RU
PCS-EvDO
4x4 Dist. Matrix RU
LTE 700 RU
4x4 distribution matrix both Primary
and Secondary Hubs
Configurable via the management
system
Enables routing of services into Hub RU
AWS RU RU

12. 3000 Key Components: Remote Units (RU)
Small Wideband Remote Units, can be wall mounted or placed behind ceiling voids
One unit supports any number or combination of services (VHF - WiMax)
Fiber connection
Remotely powered (local powering option for)
Configured and Managed via the Primary Hub
Requires Separate Tx and Rx Antennas
Compact aesthetic design dissipating only 28W can be installed almost anywhere
RU slides into wall mounting bracket

13. Installation Options Component Box fits in suspended ceiling frame.
Many suppliers – common for WiFi A/Ps
Antenna mounted on nearby ceiling tile.

14. DUAL PORT WIDEBAND ANTENNA
Zinwave also offers unique dual port Wideband antennas for use with its DAS system:
Small unobtrusive form factor
Ceiling mounted
Omni-directional coverage
Wideband frequency range:
800 – 2700 MHz
698 – 2700 MHz (under
development)
Unity Gain nominal
Guarantees the required isolation for Zinwave’s wideband system
Mounting bracket screws into ceiling. Antenna fixed into place with locking screw.
Off the shelf antennas can also be used (with the right spacing) for any specific coverage requirements

15. Installation Example: Zinwave Dual Wideband Antenna

16. ANTENNAS THAT CAN BE USED (one each for Tx and Rx)
Andrew CellMax-O-CPUSE Omni; Freq: , 1710 – 2700 MHz
Mars MA-WOLTE-2X Omni; Freq: 698 MHz GHz
Separate the Omni Tx and Rx antennas by 20 ft to ensure 40 dB Isolation

17. ZINWAVE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: EMS
Intuitive, web based GUI – Resident in Hub – NO SEPARATE CONTROLLER
Only Requires a Standard Browser – NO DEDICATED SOFTWARE
SNMP interface from the Primary Hub, for integration into higher level NMS systems
View and manage your DAS systems from wherever you are
In-built software into the system elements
No management system controller unit
No management software to install on client pc
No proprietary software required to view or monitor you DAS installations, other than a standard web browser

18. CARRIER APPROVALS AT&T – Approved for Network Connection
Tested thoroughly in Independent lab, Bechtel – Passed for GSM, UMTS and Mixed Mode
Verizon – 2G & 3G, 4G Approved, in PeopleSoft
Sprint – Approved for Network Connection
Tested thoroughly in Sprint RAN Labs – Passed for iDEN, CDMA, Ev-DO and Mixed Mode
T-Mobile – Approved, Market Decision

19. PUBLIC SAFETY COVERAGE
Typical Minimum RF Level Design Requirement is -95 dBm
Much Lower Than -85 dBm to -75 dBm Commercial Requirements
Requires Very Little Power Share in Zinwave Multi Service RU – Essentially add for Free
Public Safety Often Wants Dedicated DAS
Liability Issues
NFPA code Requires Emergency DAS Remotes to be NEMA4
Because of Low RF Levels, a Parallel Public Safety DAS adds Little Cost to Overall Project When Included with a Commercial DAS
