The NEDAS Live Seminar Series 2017: Software Defined Remote Units: An Industry Game Changer was held on December 13, 2007.
The event was presented by Andrew Otete, Product Line Engineer- TEKO DAS for JMA Wireless.
The program provided an overview of the various requirements for assuring indoor coverage and performance including:
-The leading organizations that provide specifications for network performance and testing
-How the various jurisdictions are adopting and adapting these for their own use
-What are the requirements and various ways they are applied
-Key challenges to putting requirements in place and enforcing them
-Effective solutions to overcome these challenges, including live demonstration
-Case studies of successfully assuring performance
This seminar was sponsored by JMA Wireless.

5. Objectives
Understand what a Software Defined Remote Unit is
Define the need for a Software Defined Remote Unit
Identify the challenges faced by other solutions
List the advantages of the SDRU
Relate features to the total cost of ownership

6. Solving the Rollout Puzzle
Different carriers have different time frames when
joining a DAS system
Different carriers will add bands at different times
Carriers sometimes postpone joining a DAS for one
reason or another
When the decision is made to join a DAS then
implementation is a priority
Constricted time-frames for access are sometimes a
problem
6
7. Flexibility and phased rollouts create a strong case
for modular design
Hardware vs. Software
Software modularity is more desirable and cost effective solution
Introduction: Modularity
7
8. Installation Challenges for Hardware Modularity
Certified technicians required
Difficult to access remote units
Potential mistakes & added points of failure
Time consuming
System recommissioning
Increased cost to the operator

12. Legacy Solutions vs. SDRU
Requires physical transport & logistics
Inventory planning of modules
Requires more physical space & weight
Upgrades require time and impact uptime
High cost per-remote for field upgrades
Repeated access may impact IP rating Maintains NEMA/IP ratings
Upgraded remotely via SW
Inventory is a license key
Apply in seconds, unilaterally
Virtual shipping over the Internet
SDRU is compact in design
Fully integrated, eliminates fault pointsRequires backplane or cabling

13. Optimizing DAS Installation
• Time to install physical equipment and
cabling infrastructure
• Time to identify, configure and
commission a system
• Time to optimize the parameters for the
best user experience
• Time to add bands and or power is
minimized
14. TCO Benefits:
Overall reduced OPEX and CAPEX!
Fully integrated and compact BTS interfaces
Options for Low Power to High Power RF
Support for all RF sources
Integral to the overall administration of the system
Minimizing Equipment Footprint
15. Smaller footprint reduces cost
Remote Units can vary in size significantly
Power classes are important
Should be able to mix and match power classes as needed
Minimizing Equipment Footprint
16. It is more than signal level
RF signal quality (like EVM, NF) impacts the
performance and business case
