Different Types of Remote Units
In order to allow radio coverage with different power and band requirements, the ION-B
architecture provides a wide variety of Remote Units. This allows the customer to choose the
solution which best fi ts its coverage and environmental demands.
Depending on the bands where the radio coverage has to be provided and on the signal
power required to cover the environment, your Remote Unit will fall into one of the topologies
shown in fi gure 3.1.1.
The following 4 sections of the manual refer to these 4 Remote Unit topologies. Please follow
the instructions described in the section corresponding to the case (A, B, R, R2, F) of your
particular Remote Unit.
The case of your Remote Unit can be easily identifi ed in Figure 3.1: or, as an alternative, you
could contact your Sales representative or check it on the offi cial ION-B Brochure (see fi g.
3.1.2),.
