ZTE Signal Source for 3rd Party DAS

l The existing DAS passive components usually only support 800M~2.7GHz. For 700M and 3.5G NR DAS, all the current DAS system components need to
support new band 700M and 3.5G, including combiner, splitter, antenna, etc, so all the DAS system may need to deploy again.

l ZTE is only responsible of all 4G/5G signal part, the interfaces of all passive components shall be in the charge of the operators. RRU need to support
xT/xR according to the existing DAS channel and the output power of RRU need to meet the DAS system design requirement.
