OVERVI EW

The Matrix PS public safety system is a digital-over-fiber distributed antenna system that

delivers mobile coverage and capacity in all types of environments.

The Matrix PS system ensures that public safety communications function reliably and

without interruption within commercial and residential buildings, airports, government

establishments, tunnels and metros.

This chapter introduces the Matrix PS system, including:



Matrix PS system architecture



hdHost PS base station host unit



airHost PS off-air host unit



hd33 PS remote radio unit



Matrix Console PS system controller
