RISM
ADC's FlexWave™ Prism is a compact radio head for macro gap coverage that
supports up to four frequency bands delivering high-performance coverage with
end-to-end management.
The FlexWave Prism enhances wireless networks in outdoor locations and large
venues in an easy and cost-effective manner. Based on patented technology and
ADC's 15-year leadership in outdoor wireless distributed antenna system (DAS)
technology, FlexWave Prism offers mobile operators a small, light, and flexible
solution for extending macro network coverage for 2G, 3G, and 4G services.
The new FlexWave Prism system is ideal for enhancing outdoor and indoor coverage
in cities, suburbs, canyons, tunnels, campuses, stadiums, and other public areas. It is
35 percent lighter and up to 60 percent smaller than the FlexWave URH product it
replaces, and is available in four different cabinet sizes to support one, two, three or
four frequency bands. Operators can future-proof their deployments by purchasing
a larger cabinet and adding more frequency bands when needed. FlexWave Prism uses
ADC's proven radio head technology and management system along with an IP-65
rated remote.
