Description

The Base Station Interface Unit is the RF interface between the Radio Base Station and the Fiber-DAS system. This unit monitors the signal levels from the base station and has settable attenuators both in the uplink and downlink paths. The BIU connects to the Point of Interconnect (POI) which distributes the signals over the fiberoptic interfaces belonging to the same sector.
KEY FEATURES
Large selection of frequency bands available
Duplex or no duplex as option
Radio access technology agnostic
Multi operator and multi carrier
Two separate RF paths
Options with high or low input depending on type of BTS connection
Test ports for checking signal levels without interrupting service
Completely software monitored and controlled
Settable supervision thresholds for high/low operator input signals
External alarm interface with inputs/outputs
RoHS Compliant

The BIU exists in two versions, high power and low power. Where the specifications are different they are clearly marked for which version the specification is used.
