2.4. ION-B additional options
The basic ION-B structure described above can be furtherly expanded or supported by a
range of ION-B options, including:
• A supervision unit (TSUN), enabling to supervise and manage the ION-B system through
any PC or Laptop, thanks to a web-interface supporting the TCP/IP, FTP, HTTP, protocols,
and fully compatible with general purpose SNMP managers.
• RF boosters, which can be connected to the auxiliary channels of the ION-B Remote
Units, thus providing RF coverage in some particular frequency bands (e.g. AWS 1700 MHz
in US, Wi-Fi, or Wi-Max);
• A wide range of Interconnect Link options (TIL), i.e. a set of master-slave modules which
enable to expand the ION-B system through additional subrack stations, up to 20 km
away from the main one.
• A Remote Powering Unit (TRSN), providing -48Vdc power supplying through composite
fi beroptic/copper cables
Table 2.3 shows an overview of these ION-B accessories and of the corresponding Andrew
bulletins you should refer to for further information.
