Microlab Demonstrates New Smart Coupler Technology for Real-Time Public Safety Wireless System Monitoring

Microlab, a Wireless Telecom Group Company (NYSE American: WTT),
today demonstrated the world’s first radio frequency (RF) coupler
with embedded signal monitoring intelligence. The patent-pending
smart coupler capitalizes on Internet of Things (IoT) technology
for remote sensing and reporting. Designed for in-building public
safety wireless networks, the smart coupler will be revolutionary
in terms of monitoring a passive communications network of RF
coaxial cables, components, and antennas. The technology will
enable public safety authorities, building owners, and system’s
integrators the ability to continuously supervise in real-time
their emergency first responder, in-building network’s
performance.
“Our smart coupler technology demonstrated real-time monitoring
of a passive coaxial system in our lab experiments,” said Dino
Giordano, VP of Product for Microlab. “Service antenna failures
were detected through multiple nodes and alarms were relayed within
the coaxial network then collected at the head-end gateway. The
alarms were reported both remotely via Ethernet interface and
locally on the gateway. System failures captured in our experiments
would often go undetected in a real-world deployment without the
monitoring the smart coupler technology provides.”
Unlike commercial wireless cellular systems, conventional
two-way, push-to-talk, public safety radio systems do not have
constant network traffic, as these critical communication systems
are only used during an emergency event. Radio coverage of public
safety systems are typically certified only at the time of a
building’s initial testing and then only undergo periodic grid
testing, as required by International Fire Code (IFC) and National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) building codes. But connectivity
issues may not be found until the next yearly test or, at worst,
during an emergency. A network which includes smart coupler
technology will give building owners and first responders
confidence that the communications systems are continuously
operational.
The smart coupler replaces the required tappers and couplers
that are typical in DAS networks with all power, diagnostics, and
control signaling sent from and received to each coupler from a
single rack unit, headend gateway, over the RF coaxial transmission
lines. The gateway node provides local and remote TCP/IP based
alarming connectivity to a convenient GUI dashboard with e-mail,
SMS, and SNMP protocols. These units together enable continuous
monitoring of an entire passive DAS system giving system
integrators and operators visibility deep into a building from the
head-end’s RF source. Systems integrators can provide a value-added
service through their network operations center (NOC) providing
faster restoration in the event of an outage. It will also reduce
troubleshooting time, as faults can be pinpointed to specific
locations in the passive network.
Microlab plans to introduce products with smart coupler
technology in 2019 to its broad portfolio of RF components for
in-building public safety wireless networks.
