Digitized RF
Description
InterReach ICS distributes wireless coverage
digitally over optical fiber, which makes it the best
choice for signal quality, architectural flexibility,
and overall performance.
InterReach ICS, offered for 800 ESMR, 850
Cellular, and 1900 PCS applications, transports 18-
25MHz of contiguous bandwidth.
The InterReach ICS system components include: a
Digital Host Unit (DHU), optional Digital Expansion
Units (DEU), and Digital Remote Units (DRU).
A DHU can feed either DRUs or DEUs. Digital
Expansion Units can be daisy chained without
affecting system performance*.
Fiber is completely immune to reception or
generation of electromagnetic interference,
making it easy to install alongside other wiring
without fear of noise or crosstalk. By using digital
optics, either single-mode or multi-mode fiber
can be used without degrading signal quality.
This allows users to utilize any dark fiber that may
already be in place within the building and flat
polished LC connectors.
Each DHU and DEU is configurable with up to
six single-mode or multi-mode optical transceivers.
Because the optical ports are independent of
one another, single-mode and multi-mode fiber
may be mixed and matched as needed between
elements. For example, a host unit may feed five
remotes with multi-mode fiber, and feed the sixth
remote via single-mode fiber due to distance or
to utilize available fiber in a facility. As
Digital RF transport over fiber also offers the
lowest possible noise level, regardless of the
length of fiber. Digital transport is unaffected by
long cable runs, splices and signal splits. Digital
RF transport over fiber also enables complete
flexibility of design. Digital RF transport systems
split and add signals digitally, so the architecture
of fiber cable runs can be optimized for each

needed, additional transceivers and DRUs can be
ordered and easily installed onsite. This modular

delivered to even the most remote antenna.
Additional components can simply be plugged
in. If the RF parameters have not changed, no
additional optimization is required. Furthermore,
digital RF transport provides greater flexibility for
converging indoor and macro networks.
The DHU and DEU are AC powered. The DRUs
are CAT3/5 powered. For distances greater than
500 meters, ADC offers a local power supply for
remote power.
*The number of DEUs that can be daisy chained
is limited only by the Noise Figure, which can be
calculated using the formula 8 dB + (10 log N).

Digital Host Unit
The DHU provides the input interface for RF
signals from a base transceiver station (BTS), or a
bi-directional amplifier (BDA). The DHU converts
the RF signal into a digital format and distributes
the digitized signal over fiber to multiple output
ports, either Digital Expansion Units or Digital Re-
mote Units. The DHU also performs power and
alarming functions for the system. Alarms are
accessible via dry contact closures. The DHU also
has alarm status LEDs. The DHU is typically wall-
or rack-mounted in a basement or other point of
entry within a building requiring coverage.
Digital Expansion Unit
The DEU is used when more than six remotes are
required to serve a building. The DEU receives
the digitized signals from the DHU and distri-
butes them over fiber to multiple digital outputs.
These outputs can be Digital Remote Units or
additional Digital Expansion Units. The DEU has
alarm LED indicators. The DEU is typically wall-
or rack-mounted in a wiring closet within the
building requiring coverage.
Digital Remote Unit
The DRU receives the digitized signals from the
DHU or intermediate DEU, converts the signals
back into RF, and interfaces with the antennas to
amplify the RF signals throughout the building.
The Digital Remote Unit is a compact module
that is typically mounted above ceiling tile.
Total Solution Support
ADC offers turnkey EF&I services for in-building
applications and can provision all ancillary
equipment needed to support various applica-
tions. In addition, the company can provide
infrastructure such as fiber, CAT5, connectors,
and patch panels. From its skilled wireless
systems engineering staff to its Professional

Free Space Optics (FSO) Installation
Only digital transport can utilize free space optics for building-to-building links where fiber is either not
available or cannot be deployed in a timely or cost-effective manner. Free space optics distances are
determined by service level availability, but are typically in the range of 500 meters to 1 kilometer.
Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM)
InterReach ICS typically is transported over dedicated strands of fiber (a pair of fiber for transmit and
receive paths.) Because of the digital transport, ICS can utilize WDM technology, essentially combining
two waves to one, reducing the required fiber count by half. Optical budgets will be dependent on
the added losses with WDM (the passive modules and added connectors) and the selection of the
SFP transceivers.
Pay As You Grow
Expansion units can be added as growth or capacity needs change by simply adding additional
transceivers, expansion units or remote units. Expanding the InterReach ICS system does not require
adding splitters at the host location or re-optimization as long as the RF parameters remain the same.
Conversely, non-utilized ports can simply be shut off without affecting system performance.
