Microlab Expands Portfolio of Award-Winning SMART Passives System Strengthening Its Position as the Leader in Real-Time Public Safety DAS Monitoring
September 27 2021 - 8:00AM
Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. (NYSE American: WTT), announced
its Microlab brand has expanded the portfolio of products using its
innovative, patent pending SMART (System Monitor, Alarm, Report
Technology) capabilities. The first Microlab SMART product, the
SMART Coupler, won the 2020 Connected Real Estate Tech Award for
Best In-Building Public Safety Solution. That same technology and
capability are now being deployed in two new SMART couplers. Along
with the new SMART couplers, Microlab is introducing a series of DC
Pass Tappers that enable network designers to more cost-effectively
and flexibly deploy SMART technology.
The new SMART couplers are narrowband devices
(380 MHz – 520 MHz and 700 MHz – 960 MHz), that provide the same
functionality as the original SMART couplers but are now
public-safety-band specific and more economical for larger
deployments where a greater number of couplers are required. The DC
Pass tappers cover 137 MHz – 960 MHz. Combined with the existing
portfolio of SMART Couplers and the head-end SMART Gateway, the new
SMART Couplers and DC Pass Tappers provide active diagnostic tools
for system monitoring with failure detection and isolation
capabilities, ensuring Public Safety DAS owners can depend on the
operation of their critical communication systems.
“Since the introduction of the SMART Passives
System in 2019, Microlab has provided this unique monitoring and
diagnostic solution to system designers and integrators working on
new construction and retrofits of critical public safety
infrastructure,” said Tom McCabe, Public Safety Business
Development Manager. “Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) are
developing fire codes and safety requirements calling out the needs
to specifically monitor components in a Public Safety DAS, and
Microlab is well positioned with its expanded line of SMART
passives to provide an economic method to monitor, alarm, and
report necessary system diagnostics to get buildings into
compliance.”
The SMART Passives System is made up of a SMART
Gateway at the head-end and SMART Couplers deployed in the DAS.
Each coupler reports the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) at each
port based on a calibrated CW tone generated by the gateway. By
storing and comparing the VSWR at each port over time, the SMART
Passives System can report network degradation and failures, such
as an open or short circuit. The gateway then communicates the
alarm via e-mail, SMS, or SNMP and pinpoints the location where the
failure occurred. SMART Couplers are designed to replace the
required tappers and couplers already used in a passive DAS network
and require no additional hardware, special tools, power, or
Ethernet connectivity. Power for the SMART Coupler and all
communications back and forth with the SMART Gateway is done over
an existing RF coaxial cable.
Microlab will show its full portfolio of public
safety monitoring solutions and DAS components at the International
Wireless Communications Expo (IWCE) September 27 – 30, 2021, in Las
Vegas, NV.
