Fiplex introduces digital antenna systems designed for public safety at CCW2015
Fiplex Communications is showcasing its digital fibre distributed antenna system (DAS) solutions for TETRA and public safety, offering a new range of security features with simplified deployment, operation and maintenance.
The company has published a white paper comparing analogue and digital DAS, which considers the differences in requirements between consumer mobile services and public safety/mission critical needs.
The paper argues that the majority of deployed analogue DAS are band selective or fullband, which mostly came as a legacy from the cellular industry, in which certain limitations or application issues are not as sensitive or problematic as in the public safety sector. Fiplex says it is a mistake to believe that what is successful with consumer mobile devices will work with public safety radios.
With its digital DAS, Fiplex is looking to open a new era in the public safety telecommunications world. The Fiplex white paper can be downloaded here.
