NEXT GENERATION · 50% LESS RACK SPACE
The MCC300 Series™ is a passive modular carrier combiner that serves as the point of interface for neutral host D-RAN and in-building or outdoor DAS, from SISO through 4×4 MIMO. It combines RAN remote heads or head-end services for RF distribution. Low-band ports start at 617 MHz, AWS ports cover AWS-1 and AWS-3, and the n77 port covers C-Band, 3.45 GHz, CBRS and future n77 applications.
We redesigned it around what customers need most: rack space. Two filter modules now fit in a single rack unit with no sub-rack, so a 3-WSP 2×2 MIMO system drops from 8RU to 4RU. Each module handles 100W per input, and the new hybrid combiners are rated to 300W.
The filter cards take full radio power directly, so there are no external attenuators to buy or install. The system is passively cooled, with no fans or external power. And it’s still modular, so you buy only what you need and add modules as the network grows.
Custom Fixed Point of Interface (POI)
Microlab offers also a wide variety of combining-only DCC solutions for In-Building Distributed Antenna Systems. Available bands range from 136 MHz to 6GHz, including public service channels and Tetra usually in the range from 380 to 520 MHz, cellular services extending from LTE 700 to WiMAX/LTE-2600.
DAS Signal Conditioners
Fiber DAS systems operate with certain input signal strength, usually 0dBm. Small, Macro, Micro or Pico cells deliver much higher levels. To ensure that the fiber converter input is not distorted or even damaged, incoming Tx signals have to be attenuated. Furthermore, if the DAS deployment has to handle multiple carriers, our DAS Carrier Conditioners combine incoming frequency bands and equalize different power levels.
Patch Panel
Microlab low PIM patch panels are designed to establish a point of demarcation between a distributed antenna system (DAS) and base station equipment. These assemblies provides an aesthetic means of integrating a DAS deployment.
