1 System Overview
Zinwave’s Uniwave in-building wireless solution provides cellular and public safety access services to
buildings, campuses, and venues, delivering end-to-end all fiber service on a single converged system.
Zinwave’s unique wideband architecture supports any service mix, protocol, or modulation scheme
over a wide frequency range. The 308-XXXX product components cover 150 MHz to 6000 MHz (NB
308-0007-x currently support 150 – 5000 MHz). Uniwave provides RF coverage over large areas and
supports a multitude of wireless and IP data services, irrespective of carrier frequency or signal
protocol.
The components of Uniwave are:
• Primary Hub
• Service Module - installed in Primary Hubs
• Optical Module - installed in Primary Hubs
• Transport Module - installed in Primary Hubs to bring Services over fiber to a downstream
Primary Hub
• Secondary Hub – incorporates 48V DC Power Supply Unit (PSU) for Remote Units
• Remote Unit
• Configuration Graphical User Interface (GUI) - supplied on Primary Hubs
• Central 48V DC Power Supply (Optional) – used for powering any Remote Units directly
connected to Primary Hub
The system’s network infrastructure uses standard structured cabling, broadband Single-mode optical
fiber.
1.1 How Does It Work?
At a high-level, the standard solution provides a complete in-building wireless infrastructure with a few
core components. Radio Frequency (RF) source inputs come into the Primary Hub’s Service Module
directly or indirectly. The Primary Hub converts these RF signal inputs to optical and connects via
optical fiber directly to Remote Units or through a Secondary Hub. The Secondary Hub connects up to
8 Remote Units via optical fiber to one optical slot of a Primary Hub. The Remote Units connect to
antennas, taking the optical signal back to RF and amplifying it for wider distribution.
