CommScope ION-U

March 3, 2017
When it comes to large venues like college campuses, sports arenas, office buildings and industrial parks, ION-U is one of the smartest distributed antenna systems (DAS) solutions around. It supports multiple operators, frequency bands and technologies via one unified, low- and high-power system.
When it comes to large venues like college campuses, sports arenas, office buildings and industrial parks, ION-U is one of the smartest distributed antenna systems (DAS) solutions around. It supports multiple operators, frequency bands and technologies via one unified, low- and high-power system.

ION-U is a complete system that features:

  • A unified indoor-outdoor, low-power and high-power platform in a single master unit that reduces space requirements and the number of cable runs
  • Embedded intelligence that clearly guides the design, planning, installation, setup, commissioning and optimization of your DAS with start-to-finish simplicity
  • Automatic documentation that includes bill of materials, system configuration file, interconnect diagrams, rack elevation drawings according to power/thermal loading specs, and commissioning records
  • Built-in monitoring for measuring network quality, monitoring interference and PIM and conducting detailed uplink/downlink spectrum analysis
  • Remote configuration tools that enable operators to re-sectorize and access auto-leveling functions from anywhere in the world or right at the head end
  • Smart alarms that provide useful information that details impact to service quality — keeping troubleshooting from turning into a prolonged hunt for the problem and helping your people work more efficiently.

Judge's comment: "Looks like a well thought out solution to a tricky problem - designing a custom wireless system."
