The document outlines the benefits and features of JMA Wireless' software-defined remote unit (SDRU) and highlights the significance of modular design in Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). It discusses the challenges of hardware modularity and emphasizes the cost-effectiveness and operational advantages of SDUs, including easier installation and maintenance. Additionally, it announces upcoming Nedas events and offers information on annual sponsorship opportunities to help businesses grow.

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
5

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
