Introduction
In a split Radio Base Station (RBS) architecture the typical RBS consists of a Base Band Unit (BBU) and Remote Radio
Heads (RRH) connected by cabling. Power to the RRH is provided through copper cables traveling from the base station to
the top of the tower or roof top. This creates a conductive path, making the active equipment at the top and the base of the
site vulnerable to damage by direct lightning strikes. Protection systems installed in front of both the BBU and the RRH must
be able to withstand direct lightning currents in order to protect the sensitive equipment. Raycap’s RRH solutions featuring

®
SPD technology significantly enhance the reliability & availability of the RRH site by providing superior electrical
protection at the RRH and BBU. PowerPlus is Raycap’s solution for an intelligent and dynamic power transmission to the RRH
units of a DAS Telecommunication site. PowerPlus is a system installed at the PSU output that increases the voltage at the
base of a cellular site to compensate the voltage drop on the DC power cables that provide power to the RRHs.
