#WirelessWednesday – How is Dali’s ability to cascade multiple hosts and the ability to daisy-chain remote units different?
Cascade Multiple Hosts: Dali has the ability to cascade multiple headends and enables the connection of many base stations. Through connecting many BTS to the SDN Radio Router™ network, the capacity can be freely distributed amongst all connected remotes in a star, chain or hybrid topology. This is the many-to-many relationships – M:N routing.
In addition, mixing of different base station vendors is possible, as is the pooling of the base station resources. The base stations need not necessarily be physically co-located, but rather, the base station resources can be interconnected physically and logically via a network of SDN Radio Routers.
When more capacity is needed, more base station resources can be added, while leaving the rest of the physical RF distribution network intact.
Daisy-Chain: Dali is the only vendor that has the ability to daisy-chain remotes without introducing noise along the “chain”. This is because Dali’s solution is all-digital and the noise-floor is unaffected even when the radio remotes are daisy-chained. In addition, since the connections between remotes are through fibres, the optical budget remains the same along the “chain”.
