The ADRF ADXV Series represents a comprehensive DAS solution, designed to cater to both commercial cellular and public safety needs. This series is a prime example of an Active DAS, utilizing advanced technology to ensure seamless RF signal transportation across various environments, from small buildings to expansive campuses. The system is built around two main components: the Head End (HE) and the Remote Unit (RU), connected via single-mode fiber, making it a versatile choice for in building DAS applications.

Head End (HE) Overview

The Head End acts as the central hub of the ADXV Series, collocated with the base station or bi-directional amplifier (BDA DAS). It supports daisy chaining of up to 15 units, which is particularly beneficial for managing multiple units from a single point in large venues. The HE also includes a built-in CW Generator and Spectrum Analyzer, and supports Automatic Level Control (ALC) of input RF power, which is crucial for maintaining optimal signal levels in complex environments.

Remote Units: Meeting Diverse Needs

The ADXV Series offers different types of Remote Units to cater to specific power requirements and applications:

  1. Commercial Mid-Power Remote Unit (MPR): Ideal for medium-sized venues, this unit supports up to six band-specific remote modules. It includes features like a built-in Spectrum Analyzer and Automatic Level Control, and is IP66 rated, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
  2. Commercial High-Power Remote Unit (HPR): Designed for larger venues, the HPR supports up to six band-specific modules with output power options of 20W/40W. Its high power output and optional pole mount kit make it perfect for expansive areas such as stadiums or large campuses.
  3. Public Safety Remote Unit (ADXV-R-3378P-U): This unit is tailored for public safety DAS applications, operating in the 700MHz/800MHz range. It features a 33dBm amplifier module and is UL 2524 listed, ensuring compliance with safety standards. The unit's NEMA 4 rating provides protection against harsh environmental conditions, making it a reliable choice for critical communication needs.

Advantages of the ADRF Converged Solution

The ADRF Converged Solution offers several benefits that make it a strong choice for DAS solutions:

  • Unified Support for Frequencies: It supports both commercial and public safety frequencies within a single head-end enclosure, simplifying infrastructure and reducing the need for separate systems.
  • Wide Frequency Range: The system can handle frequencies from VHF to 4 GHz, providing flexibility to accommodate various communication needs.
  • Cost Efficiency: By sharing architecture between commercial and public safety applications, the solution reduces equipment and installation costs, making it a cost-effective option for large-scale deployments.
  • Environmental Resilience: With an IP66/NEMA 4 rating, the system is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, ensuring durability and reliability in diverse conditions.

The ADXV Series is a reliable choice for those looking to enhance their DAS infrastructure. Its ability to support both commercial and public safety applications within a single system simplifies deployment and management. The series' flexibility and cost-effectiveness make it an attractive option for venues of all sizes, ensuring robust and reliable communication coverage. Whether the goal is to improve cellular connectivity or ensure public safety communications, the ADXV Series is equipped to meet these needs efficiently.
