Remote fiber link

Bring remote carrier signals to your DAS over one fiber.

A versatile RF over fiber link that carries multiple frequency bands over a single optical fiber, scaling from one sector to many.

When carriers can’t share one room.

Most large venues host multiple wireless carriers on their DAS. Ideally every carrier’s equipment sits in the same room, but finding enough space isn’t always possible, and a carrier may want to use existing equipment in a neighboring building. The carrier’s remote equipment still has to reach the DAS head-end, often through pathways where coaxial cable can’t run.

The Swiss Army knife for DAS projects.

The Intelibs Remote Fiber Link transmits multiple radio frequency bands over a single optical fiber. It accepts the carrier’s RF source over a wired or wireless interface, so remote carrier equipment can feed the DAS head-end cost-effectively, and it scales from a single sector to multiple sectors with simple hardware additions.

For neutral-host DAS operators, it converts a remote carrier’s RF signal to light and carries it over fiber. An add-drop fiber port also lets carriers combine different technologies within the same sector over the same optical cable.

How it connects.
