3.1 Fusion Wideband Main Hub Overview
The Fusion Wideband Main Hub (shown in Figure 3-1) distributes two individual
(Band 1 and 2) downlink RF signals from a base station, repeater, or MetroReach
Focus system to up to four Expansion Hubs, which in turn distribute the signals to up
to 32 Remote Access Units. The Main Hub also combines uplink signals from the
associated Expansion Hubs.
Fusion Wideband is a multi-band system. One RF source (Band 1 or RF1) goes to the
60 MHz band and the other RF source (Band 2 or RF2) goes to the 75 MHz band. The
system installs in a 19" equipment rack and is usually co-located with the RF source
in a telecommunications closet.
