InterReach®ICS – ADC's Digital Advantage for Improving Wireless Capacity
and Coverage
The InterReach In-building Coverage Solution (ICS) is used to extend wireless coverage to specific
areas within a building, multiple buildings, or throughout a campus environment. This digital
distributed antenna system (D-DAS) solution features unique, patented technology that
distributes wireless coverage digitally over optical fiber, enabling InterReach ICS to deliver
superior signal quality, flexibility, and overall performance. Its digitized optical RF transport also
future-proofs in-building wireless infrastructure for higher data rate services. The InterReach
product family offers service providers a flexible, scalable, all-digital platform to improve
customer retention and offer enhanced services to meet increasing subscriber demands.

In-Building Market Trends
With the increased proliferation of mobile wireless devices, subscribers expect to have wireless
coverage in any place they go. Providing seamless coverage everywhere can be challenging,
particularly inside buildings.
Carriers implement indoor coverage solutions to increase customer acquisition and retention. A
key explanation subscribers give for switching carriers is unsatisfactory network quality. Most often,
the highest value subscribers are business users. Providing indoor coverage at business locations can
improve subscriber satisfaction, extend service contracts and prevent costly churn. There is clearly an
opportunity for wireless service providers to improve profitability by creating a superior network that
includes indoor coverage. Nowhere else are mobile voice and data users able to so closely scrutinize
the quality of their providers network performance.
The onset of higher speed data services requires service providers to design their networks differently,
resulting in an increased priority for indoor coverage. Data users often use their mobile devices
within office buildings and will not tolerate dropped calls or inadequate service for transfers of data.
In addition, third generation services will result in smaller cell sizes, causing the macro network
coverage to be insufficient for thoroughly penetrating buildings, particularly new construction
materials with high RF attenuation properties. A dedicated indoor coverage solution can improve
macro network coverage because it offloads capacity from the macro network.
In-building needs are everywhere, including corporate campuses, traffic corridors such as tunnels
and subways, coverage holes, capacity hotspots, and public spaces such as airports, hospitals,
government centers and shopping malls. With increased attention on public safety, more cities and
counties are passing ordinances that require buildings of a certain size to have coverage systems in
place for the communication systems of public safety officials (Fire/Police/EMT). In such applications,
often 150,000 square feet or larger, the economics of passive solutions become less attractive.
There are many alternatives for providing indoor coverage at different price points. Beyond
the initial price, it is critical to consider long-term cost, benefits, and the limitations of each.
Given the constant changes in today's wireless landscape, the best choice is the most flexible,
scalable, reliable, and quality solution available.

Digitized RF
InterReach ICS distributes wireless coverage
digitally over optical fiber, which makes it the best
choice for signal quality, architectural flexibility,
and overall performance.
Fiber is completely immune to reception or
generation of electromagnetic interference,
making it easy to install alongside other wiring
without fear of noise or crosstalk. By using digital
optics, either single-mode or multi-mode fiber
can be used without degrading signal quality.
This allows users to utilize any dark fiber that may
already be in place within the building and flat
polished LC connectors.
Digital RF transport over fiber also offers the
lowest possible noise level, regardless of the
length of fiber. Digital transport is unaffected by
long cable runs, splices and signal splits. Digital
RF transport over fiber also enables complete
flexibility of design. Digital RF transport systems
split and add signals digitally, so the architecture
of fiber cable runs can be optimized for each
application, minimizing installation costs and time.
Coverage areas can be expanded by adding,
or even daisy-chaining, system components.
Multiple areas, floors, or even multiple buildings
can be covered with uniform digital quality signals
delivered to even the most remote antenna.
Additional components can simply be plugged
in. If the RF parameters have not changed, no
additional optimization is required. Furthermore,
digital RF transport provides greater flexibility for
converging indoor and macro networks.
Description
InterReach ICS, offered for 800 ESMR, 850
Cellular, and 1900 PCS applications, transports 18-
25MHzofcontiguousbandwidth.
The InterReach ICS system components include: a
DigitalHostUnit(DHU),optionalDigitalExpansion
Units(DEU),andDigitalRemoteUnits(DRU).
ADHUcanfeedeitherDRUsorDEUs.Digital
ExpansionUnitscanbedaisychainedwithout
affecting system performance*.
EachDHUandDEUisconfigurablewithupto
six single-mode or multi-mode optical transceivers.
Because the optical ports are independent of
one another, single-mode and multi-mode fiber
may be mixed and matched as needed between
elements. For example, a host unit may feed five
remotes with multi-mode fiber, and feed the sixth
remote via single-mode fiber due to distance or
to utilize available fiber in a facility. As
requirements change and future growth is
needed,additionaltransceiversandDRUscanbe
ordered and easily installed onsite. This modular
approach provides optimum design flexibility,
reduces the initial cost of an indoor wireless
solution, and delays further investment until it is
justified by growth. Likewise, any unused ports
may simply be turned off without affecting any
part of the system performance.
TheDHUandDEUareACpowered.TheDRUs
are CAT3/5 powered. For distances greater than
500 meters, ADC offers a local power supply for
remote power.
*ThenumberofDEUsthatcanbedaisychained
is limited only by the Noise Figure, which can be
calculated using the formula 8 dB + (10 log N).

Multiple Fiber Types
InterReach ICS accommodates any combination of single-mode and multi-mode fibers between elements
host, expansion, and remote units.
Free Space Optics (FSO) Installation
Only digital transport can utilize free space optics for building-to-building links where fiber is either not
available or cannot be deployed in a timely or cost-effective manner. Free space optics distances are
determined by service level availability, but are typically in the range of 500 meters to 1 kilometer.
Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM)
InterReach ICS typically is transported over dedicated strands of fiber (a pair of fiber for transmit and
receive paths.) Because of the digital transport, ICS can utilize WDM technology, essentially combining
two waves to one, reducing the required fiber count by half. Optical budgets will be dependent on
the added losses with WDM (the passive modules and added connectors) and the selection of the
SFP transceivers.
Pay As You Grow
Expansion units can be added as growth or capacity needs change by simply adding additional
transceivers, expansion units or remote units. Expanding the InterReach ICS system does not require
adding splitters at the host location or re-optimization as long as the RF parameters remain the same.
Conversely, non-utilized ports can simply be shut off without affecting system performance.
