18. Chassis and Controller/PSU
Each UDIT deployment requires at least one Chassis (Sub-Rack) and one Controller card.
The Controller:
Powers the Sub-Rack and POIs via connection to a -48VDC power supply.
Provides Ethernet access to the outside world for monitoring, alarming, and adjustment of each POI.
Monitors temperature of all modules and adjusts the fans on the Sub-Rack accordingly.
Model number is: UDIT-CM1D-XXEN, CS if required for the critical spares list.
Two RJ45 connections for local/remote access and daisy chaining UDITs
-48VDC input

19. Point of Interface Module, POI
BTS interface to the DAS: Conditions the duplex BTS input to simplex UL/DL with additional UL port for LMUs
The POIs are currently available for 700L, 700U, 800 SMR, Cell, PCS, and AWS bands
Each RF connection point is identified
BTS duplex 7/16 DINf – also identifies the module band ie, PCS
DAS UL simplex QMAf (SMAf also available)
DAS DL simplex QMAf (SMAf also available)
E911/MON LMU QMAf

20. Point of Interface Module, POI
High Power Jumper setting
Low Power Jumper setting
Each POI is configurable as High Power (+50dBm max) or Low Power (+40dBm).
Jumper connections on the front of the panel determine whether or not to insert a high power attenuator in the Downlink path to limit its output power.
In iBwave, these are separate parts with RF properties that match each jumper state:
High power POI, the Maximum Input Power parameter is set to +50dBm and Downlink Insertion Loss is set at a minimum of 15dB.
Low power POI, the Maximum Input Power parameter is set to +40dBm and Downlink Insertion Loss is set at a minimum of 5dB.
The parts were built this way in the database so that the designer would be able to get the correct link budget and warning notifications for each jumper option.

21. Point of Interface Module, POI
Uplink Configuration:
Designer can add 0 to 31dB of attenuation
Downlink Configuration:
Designer can add up to 31dB of attenuation in addition to the inherent insertion loss.
Oops. This is an iBwave BUG.
Temperature values that are written in the database in degC apparently transfer to degF with no conversion when the designer sets units to imperial instead of metric in the project properties. This range should be +140 to -40degF

22. Powering UDIT: External Power Supply or Fuse Panel
UDIT requires -48 VDC input
Current module comes with (-) & (+) terminal posts
We offer external AC to -48VDC redundant power supply
We also offer a -48 VDC GMT Fuse Panels + -

23. Redundant Power Supply

27. Quoting UDIT Questions to ask: Design Form Quick Quote

28. SISO, SIMO, MIMO or MISO for each band
Info We Need From You
SISO, SIMO, MIMO or MISO for each band
# of Base Stations and # signal streams from each
BTS Output Power (dBm)
Cable distance from BTS to UDIT
# Sectors, # Zones
How are each configured
DAS OEM vendor
Required DAS HE Input Power (in dBm)
Cable distance from UDIT to DAS HE
Is -48VDC available

29. How to Quote: Questions to Ask
SISO, SIMO, MIMO & MISO for each band?
SISO = 1 POI for each band
SIMO = 1 POI for each band into a splitter to feed multiple DAS zones
MIMO = 2 POI for each band
MISO = 2 POIs for the band into the Combiner to feed the DAS
Split Band?
Requires 1 POI for each Sub-band, then can combine them with a UDIT Combiner
Provides individual control (conditioning) of each sub band
External passive combining also available

30. How to Quote: Questions to Ask
# of Sectors and Zones?
Where is the splitting done?
Is splitting done between BTS and POI?
Is splitting done between POI and DAS?
Each job is unique with a mix of splits.
Today we have a 4:1 Splitter/Combiner
We have created passive zone splitter trays (ZMI) to address mix of splits (direct, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, etc.)

31. UDIT Quote Questionnaire
*MISO & SIMO: MISO - If customer wishes to combine two paths post-UDIT, it is MISO. Example: MIMO eNB feeding a SISO DAS…Paths 0 & 1 must be combined after POI. SIMO - If customer wishes to "split" signal post POI to feed 2 or more DAS Zones.
**What defines the sector? Need to know how many transmission cables are coming out of the BTS per band/sector.

32. How to quote UDIT- Example
For 700, AWS and 1900 the actual splits were as shown in this elevation
12 MIMO streams feed DAS direct sector for 12 sectors
6 MIMO streams feed DAS via 1:2 split for 6 sectors
3 MIMO streams feed DAS via 1:3 splits for 3 sectors
2 MIMO streams feed DAS via 1:4 splits for 2 sectors
With cable management and ZMIs
