What is the IBS signal coverage solution?

IBS stands for In-Building Solution (or In-Building Services) for signal coverage. It's a system designed to improve cell phone reception inside buildings  where the signal from outside towers might be weak.

There are a couple of ways IBS can achieve this:

Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS): This approach uses a network of antennas and amplifiers to distribute the signal from outside towers throughout the building.

Small Cell Networks: These are miniature cell phone towers installed inside the building. They connect directly to the mobile network operator's core network, providing a dedicated signal source.

Mobile signal repeater: mobile signal repeater, also known as a signal booster, is another solution for improving weak cellular reception indoors. This solution consists of these 3 parts:  Outdoor Antenna: It captures the weak cellular signal from outside cell towers.

Amplifier: It boosts the captured weak signal.

Indoor Antenna: It rebroadcasts the amplified signal inside the building, creating a stronger signal for your phone.

Fiber optical repeater:  A fiber optic repeater, also known as an optical communications repeater, is a device used in fiber optic communication systems . Its primary function is to regenerate an optical signal to overcome signal loss caused by attenuation in the fiber optic cable.

Here's a breakdown of how fiber optic repeaters work:

Signal Reception: The repeater receives a weakened optical signal traveling through the fiber optic cable.

Signal Regeneration: The repeater amplifies and cleans the received signal, essentially recreating a fresh, strong copy of the original signal.

Signal Transmission: The regenerated, strong signal is then retransmitted onwards through the fiber optic cable.

By regenerating the signal, fiber optic repeaters allow you to extend the reach of your data transmission over long distances. They are particularly useful for applications where the fiber optic cable run is longer than what the signal strength can handle on its own. 

IBS is a good option for places with poor signal reception  like high-rise buildings, basements, or remote locations. It can benefit businesses that rely on good cell service for their operations or residents who want a strong and stable signal for their phones.
