The GPS Fiber Transport Link by Optical Zonu provides a simple, cost-effective and reliable RF connection between the GPS antenna and receivers in those instances where coaxial cable is impractical and is the standard with all US mobile wireless service providers. Each link is wideband and supports any of the global GPS frequencies – current or future. The high dynamic range of the system ensures a transparent pass-through with no distortion. A low noise pre-amplifier ensures a margin on signal-to-noise ratio while keeping the signal in the most linear operating range of the fiber optic link.

Optical Zonu’s GPS-Over-Fiber for Small Cells provides and easy-to-install and cost-effective method of bring-ing the GPS signal directly to one or multiple small cells. The solution supports eFemtos, PicoCells and DRAN architectures. The RFOver-Fiber connection from the Fiber Optic Antenna Unit can be optically split up to 8 ways. This optical splitter is collocated with the small cell backhaul router and each single fiber from the splitter is combined with a CAT5 backhaul cable to the small cell locations. Here, the small Base Unit recovers the GPS signal which is connected to the Small Cell auxiliary GPS port.
