Various Applications Network Services Integrated Services Business Value Analog Voice Packet Voice IP / Ethernet Data IP Video Shared fiber infrastructure POL DAS Fiber Splitter PoE supported Desktop Computer Analog Phone VoIP Phone WiFi Access Point Building Automation Security Surveillance Video Conferencing POL positive TCO helps pay for DAS infrastructure DAS leverages the same POL fiber trunk resulting in reduced CAPEX Clients can manage and operate their own mobile network operator (MNO) neutral DAS Supports Public and Private Wi-Fi WAP Synergies with combined MDF, IDF, fiber management, powering and power backup In some cases DAS can be a revenue generation opportunity Public expectations and demands, for cellular coverage outside and inside facilities are met RF Video RF Video and IP Video Smartphones & BYOD 2016 Corning Incorporated
Various All Fiber Networks For Today s Discussion: GPON Extended Access Switching Active Ethernet All Fiber Distributed Antenna Systems Combining: Layer 2 with DAS 2016 Corning Incorporated
Requirements Gathering What applications are required to be connected at the edge of the network? Wi-Fi Aps IPTV IP Phone Building Management Controls LAN Ports Small Cell Cellular DAS Location Based Services Security systems (cameras, building access) Other 2016 Corning Incorporated
Requirements Gathering Of these applications, what will be the switching network to connect these IP connections back to the Data Center Core in the MDF? Extended Access Switching Passive Optical LAN (GPON) Active Ethernet Do the end devices require POE? If yes, what are the power requirements in watts per device? How many active components are required per zone? Essentially, how many ports are required per zone area? This will help determine the horizontal fiber count per zone / room 2016 Corning Incorporated
Requirements Gathering If the solution requires a zone box solution to be installed in the ceiling? What is the predominant ceiling type? Is there room for a 2 x2 ceiling mounted zone box that may be up to 12 deep? Where are the TR/IDFs located in relation to the zone areas? Are there multiple per floor? Can 1 TR serve multiple floors? What is the path from the TR to the end point location? What sort of power is available in the TRs? Where is the Head end / MDF located in the facility? How is it connected to each TR/IDF? 2016 Corning Incorporated
Requirements Gathering - Cellular If Cellular is a requirement, it is recommended to work closely with a DAS RF Engineer trained on specific Carrier approved DAS solutions Some DAS considerations include: Number of Cellular Carriers required Cellular Carrier Frequency Bands and Services Cellular Sector Count (Capacity Requirements) MIMO vs SISO Coverage Scope Fiber and Power Requirements for Fiber DAS Space Considerations MDF IDF Ceiling 2016 Corning Incorporated
