gGENESIS DAS

Robust, Flexible In-Building
Wireless Technology

Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) is a proven technology, reliably delivering increased wireless coverage and capacity in stadiums, subways, airports, tunnels and places where the macro network falls short.

Every day around the world, millions of cellular users connect to a SOLiD DAS. Unfortunately for most, their connected experience ends once they enter a building. SOLiD’s unique linearisation method maximizes system power efficiency and saves the total cost of ownership (TCO).

The flexible and scalable structure of the headend and remote units (gRFU, gMU, gLRN, gMRN, and gHRN) provides flexibility in upgrading, adding, and changing configurations which can save cost.

SOLiD gGENESIS DAS is a robust property technology plug-in that solves a property’s cellular problems for 5G. Using the same prop tech infrastructure, gGENESIS delivers private 5G wireless network connectivity for IoT and prop tech communications and multi-operator cellular service for the property’s staff, tenants and visitors.

Flexible, Scalable Architecture

SOLiD’s gGENESIS DAS uses standards-based structured cabling for communications and power distribution. Cat 6A and fibre infrastructure deliver both superior performance and a significant economic advantage over traditional ½ inch coax cable.

This means our robust architecture makes efficient use of your infrastructure investment by leveraging your building’s existing plant. gGENESIS DAS is both scalable and flexible to meet the requirements of any building or venue.

Less Power More Options

SOLiD has always led the industry with the broadest portfolio of remote amplifiers. The gGENESIS solution continues the tradition by offering a low-power remote node (less than 1W) that pushes the use of Cat 6A infrastructure, beyond the riser, beyond the closet, to the edge. Cat 6A connectivity to the LRN eliminates the need for coax and the associated challenges of material bulk, installer specialisation, RF power distribution, testing, and PIM. Replacing coax with Cat 6A makes installation easier, faster, more secure, and results in better performance.

gGENESIS gLRN and gLRN OCT and its flexible, scalable infrastructure elevates traditional DAS thinking. Installations and management of the wireless network are enterprise-scoped and more “WiFi-like” than DAS. However, it still performs like a DAS.

The GENESIS gLRN supports up to four frequency bands per enclosure, while gLRN OCT supports up to eight frequency bands per enclosure. Either can be installed practically anywhere and be easily added or relocated to meet building and tenant improvements.

GENESIS Universal Point of Interface

gGENESIS Universal Point of Interface. The UPOI is an optional, passive signal attenuator providing up to -20 dB of attenuation. The UPOI is used in unlikely cases where the incoming signal exceeds the input threshold of the gRFU. It’s a cost-effective, small-footprint option that saves rack space and engineering efforts.

Features:

Passive, low PIM attenuator
Wideband, module supports 600-3800 MHz
Number of ports matches the number of ports in the gRFU

gGENESIS RF Interface Unit

gGENESIS RF Interface Unit receives RF signal from gNB and transmits it to gMU via optic cable. It is a cost-effective, small-footprint option that saves rack space and engineering efforts.

Features:

Supports multiple bands and multiple operators
400 MHz/800 MHz bandwidth over single/dual fibre
Wideband RF input (3.4–3.8 GHz, OBW 100 MHz)
Provides 8 RF ports interface

gGENESIS Main Unit

gMU is the heart of the gGENESIS headend. Interfacing with the signal source, it distributes signals to the distributed remote nodes. Each gMU supports up to 1,152 gLRNs (or 96 gHRNs) across multiple sectors.

Features:

Signal aggregation and rerouting
Supports maximum 4 gRFUs with 12 optical branches
Automatic detection of 5G NR TDD switching signal configuration
400/800 MHz bandwidth over single/dual fibres

gGENESIS Hub Copper Unit

gHCU distributes data to the gLRN via Cat 6A cable. Each gHCU supports 8 gLRNs. The gHCU also provides electric power to the gLRN via PoE function. The gHCU can support seven additional gHCUs for a total of 8 gHCUs per gMU branch.

Features:

Supports daisy chain wired up to 8 gHCUs
Supports 4 optical ports interface for gMU or daisy-chained gHCU
Provides 8 Ethernet ports interface for gLRNc

gGENESIS Hub Optical Unit

gHOU distributes data to the gLRN via fibre-optic cable. Each gHOU supports 12 gLRNs. The gHOU can support seven additional HOUs for a total of 8 HOUs per gMU branch.

Consider these important gGENESIS gHOU features:

Supports daisy chain wired up to 8 gHOUs
Supports 16 optical interfaces: 4 for gMU & gHOU, 12 for remote nodes
400/800 MHz bandwidth over single/dual fibres

gGENESIS Low Power Radio Node

There are two types of 5G low-power remote nodes: gLRN and gLRN OCT. gLRN can accommodate 4 PAs for n78 band in one enclosure while gLRN OCT can accommodate 8 Pas, allowing flexible mix and match of Sub-3 bands and n78 bands. The configuration may vary such as Sub-3 bands only, n78 bands only and mix of them together into one enclosure. There are also two types of gLRN for Cat 6A and optical interface while gLRN OCT can support both of Cat 6A and optical interface in one enclosure.

Features:

Two types of gLRN availability according to the interface type: Cat 6A or optical
