Functional description
The BriteCell™ Fast system is a fibre optic distribution system for wireless signals. It consists of
a donor unit (TFLF) feeding up to 4 remote units (TFAF) in a star topology. Each remote unit
directly feeds up to two coverage antennas. The connection between the BTS and BriteCell™
FAST system can either be direct or through a repeater via a duplexed N-connector.
Both donor and remote units are powered at –48VDC (telecom supply). Donor and remote units
shall be connected with pre-connectorized composite fibre optic cable (cable with twin optical
fibre and copper wire for remote supply).
The system installation doesn’t require any particular calculation or setting, making it a real
plug-and-play system. Some useful functionalities, software and hardware, simplifies diagnostic
and commissioning:

•
Downlink optical power test point
•
Uplink adjustable gain setting
•
Link diagnostic by means of individual link LEDs
•
Downlink ALC (Automatic Level Control)
•
Optical AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
