CommScope Definitions: What is a Fiber Distribution Hub?
CommScope Definitions: What is a Fiber Distribution Hub?

Service Providers continue to deploy fiber deeper into their network. They are searching for innovative ways to deploy this technology that not only has a high fiber count, but also meets the restrictive permitting ordinances. In this blog, we describe the outdoor cabinets referred to as a Fiber Distribution Hub (FDH).

CommScope Definitions: What are Cell Clusters?
CommScope Definitions: What are Cell Clusters?

When planning a cellular network, operators typically allocate different frequency bands or channels to adjacent cells so that interference is reduced even when the coverage areas overlap slightly. In this way, cells can be grouped together in what is termed a cluster. Philip Sorrells explains more about cell clusters in today’s blog post, the latest entry in the CommScope Definitions series.

Technical Considerations for a Successful Neutral Host DAS
Technical Considerations for a Successful Neutral Host DAS

Much of the literature on neutral host distributed antenna systems (DAS) deals with the various funding models, ownership and usage rights and the sometimes complex relationships between carrier operators, venue owner and neutral host. CommScope’s new white paper “Technical Considerations for a Successful Neutral Host DAS” instead discusses some of the more common technical issues involved in designing, commissioning and maintaining a neutral host DAS. It is based on CommScope’s extensive experience in the design and implementation of multicarrier, multiband DAS solutions. See Nestor Salvado’s blog post for more.

Defining Today’s Intelligent Building
Defining Today’s Intelligent Building

The term “intelligent building” has been around since the 1980s, but more than 30 years later, there is still no clear-cut definition for an intelligent building. In his blog, Matias Peluffo talks about the different technologies and requirements involved in what is perceived in today’s intelligent buildings.

Understanding Wi-Fi Signal Strength vs. Wi-Fi Speed
Understanding Wi-Fi Signal Strength vs. Wi-Fi Speed

All other factors being equal, stronger signal strength is correlated with higher data transfer speeds up to the point where the maximum Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) rate is reached. The key is to have a rate adaptation algorithm optimally balance performance and reliablity to deliver peak AP output on the fly.
