Reducing power consumption and rack space with new high-density POIM

Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. (ADRF) has launched the new POIM (Point of Interface Medium Power Module) for its flagship ADXV DAS. The ADXV POIM offers up to 63% in rack space savings, 75% reduction in components, and 78% lower power consumption compared to the legacy POI (point of interface) module.

The POIM enables mobile carriers' RF sources to connect to the ADXV DAS head end, performing the combining, filtering, and level management that allows multiple carriers and RF bands to feed into a single in-building wireless system.

Additional key features of the ADXV POIM include:

• Three RF inputs or triple that of the legacy POI
• Supports signal source input power up to 37dBm
• Lower power consumption compared to the legacy POI
• Covers the full spectrum of RF bands, including 700MHz, 850MHz, PCS, AWS, WCS, BRS, and C-Band
• Backward compatible with the ADXV-H-NMS-AC/DC/AC-N4

"Our customers' demand for wireless technologies continues to grow, but the areas they install the equipment do not," said Victor Mejia, product manager of ADRF. "The POIM gives them the same powerful connectivity in a smaller package, cutting both costs and power use at a time when AI is using more energy than ever. We are committed to adapting our products to evolving system integrators' needs, making it easier for them to bring connectivity indoors to buildings and facilities of all sizes."
