ERA®

All-digital in-building wireless solution

Distributed antenna system and highly scalable 5G

In both enterprise settings and large-scale public venues, the crucial importance of seamless, multi-operator in-building wireless connectivity leveraging Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is undeniable. These DAS networks are integral to amplifying the productivity of a mobile workforce while simultaneously enriching customer experiences using 5G.

For key players such as mobile network operators, third-party operators, and skilled system integrators, the cutting-edge digital DAS with Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) offers a robust, high-capacity in-building 5G solution. This is augmented with backward compatibility for 4G LTE, 3G, and older technologies, ensuring a flexible and future-proofed solution that keeps pace with the dynamic evolution of wireless technology and growing consumer demands.

As an industry pioneer, CommScope and ERA® delivers a comprehensive offer, including DAS hardware and DAS antennas with the flexibility to deploy in either cloud-based or on-site solutions. Further complementing our offerings is our cost-effective, IT-centric approach to deployment and management. As your strategic ally, we are fully committed to shaping the next chapter of your wireless communication infrastructure.

 

ERA®'s cutting-edge technology seamlessly integrates 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G--excelling in providing versatile wireless coverage that flexibly scales wherever you need it. ERA® is the ideal choice for deploying DAS networks in diverse environments in commercial real estate, hospitals, manufacturing and warehousing, stadiums and arenas, transportation hubs, and campuses.

ERA® Digital Distributed Antenna System

ERA is a complete, multi-operator, 2G/3G/4G/5G solution. This distributed antenna system consists of:

  • A head-end, located either on-premise or in a centralized RAN hub, that takes RF and CPRI from service provider base stations, and digitizes them for transport across the building’s fiber or copper cabling
     
  • Distributed transport extension nodes (TENs) that extend the signal throughout the building, venue or campus
     
  • Access points with associated antennas and passive devices that convert the digital signal back to radio frequency (RF) for over-the-air transmission
     
  • AIMOS management system for automated and robust fault, configuration, and inventory management capabilities.
     

The system is fully modular, allowing any combination of signal inputs, transport media, frequency bands and radio transmit power levels to meet the needs of any environment, ranging from carpeted office buildings to multi-building campuses, airports and stadiums.
