InterReach Fusion Data Sheet

In-Building Wireless Networking System

InterReach Fusion offers the same superior performance as Unison in a multiband,
easy-to-install, economical package. It is ideal for mid-sized to large installations
containing dense, high-traffic environments such asconvention centers, sporting
arenas andairports.

Fusion

InterReach Fusion features an easy-to-deploy Double-star architecture with just

three types of components: A Main Hub that receives its radio frequency (RF)
signals from a FlexWave Focus system, a base station or a repeater; up to 4Expansion Hubs that connect to the Main Hub via singlemode or multimode fiber
optics; and up to 32- Remote Access Units (RAUs) that connect to the Expansion
Hub via CATV cabling. Each RAU sends and receives RF signals to wireless devices
located within its coverage area. Administration is web-based.

InterReach Fusion Data Sheet

The Fusion Hubs are 19" rack mountable units. The plenum
rated RAUs and the antennas connected to them are typically
mounted in ceiling spaces throughout a facility.
The main hub and expansion hub are connected using single
mode or multimode fiber. The CATV cabling between the
hub and each of the eight RAUs can be up to 130-150 meters
(426-492 feet) long using 0.21 inch (5.5 mm) diameter RG-59
cabling. This length can be extended to 140-170 meters (459557 feet) with use of RG-6 cabling, or to 235-275 meters (771902 feet) using RG-11 cabling. Different cable types can be
used simultaneously on a single hub.

With a minimum of components and use of industry-standard

75 ohm CATV cabling, InterReach Fusion is simple and
inexpensive to install, especially compared to heavy, inflexible,
and invasive coaxial cabling. In addition, because power for
the RAUs is provided over the CATV cabling, no local power
is required, further simplifying installations.

FLEXIBLE OUTPUT LEVELS

ALARMING

The system gain can be adjusted from 0 to 15 dB in 1 dB

increments. In addition, the output of any individual RAU can
be attenuated 0 or 10 dB to provide controlled coverage in
specific building areas.

Fusion monitors over 170 parameters within the system.

Three levels of alarms are available:

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The minimum configuration of a single Fusion system is
one Main Hub, one Expansion Hub, and one RAU (1-1-1).
The maximum configuration of a single system is one
Main Hub, four Expansion Hubs, and 32 RAUs (1-4-32).
Multiple systems may be deployed to cover larger areas or
campusapplications.

LEDs: Each unit has LEDs to indicate a fault in the

unit or a unit that is connected to it. For example,
if an RAU has a fault its LED will light red, the fault
information is sent to the Fusion Hub which also
displays a red LED at the RAUs port connector.
Contact Closures: Connect the Fusion Hub to a
base station or external monitoring equipment.
Status, Warning, and Fault messages: Displayed
on a PC/laptop that is running a standard Internet
Explorer browser or Standard Network Management
System SNMP application software tools.
