About Public Safety DAS and Fiber DAS Solutions
When emergency responders enter a building, they need to know that they can call for support or coordinate with fellow responders to protect the people inside as well as themselves. It’s quite simply a matter of life and death.
Since 2009 national building codes have mandated that emergency responder communications systems (ERCES / ERRCS) shall be installed in new and existing construction to assure that our Fire, Police, and EMS professionals have the communications they need inside buildings. Westell has been providing the equipment to support ERCES for over 20 years, and the requirements have changed substantially.
Westell is one of the only ERCES equipment manufacturers to offer nearly the entire solution – from the outdoor donor antenna, BDA, battery backup, and passive components, to the indoor service antennas. Offering a wide range of solutions covering all bands used by first responders in Class A and B BDAs, Fiber DAS, and Class B BDAs! Contact us to learn more.

CS45 Series 2.5W ProtectLink BDANew! PLV2 Public Safety Fiber DAS
PLV2 CS45 Series 2.5W 700/800 MHZ Fiber DAS
Westell’s ProtectLinkV2 (PLV2) Fiber DAS HE (headend) and RE (remote end) allow for fiber connectivity with CS45 Series 2.5W 700/800 MHz public safety BDAs (bi-directional amplifier) and ORUs (optical remote unit), and they provide fiber to RF conversion and communication between the headend and remote units.
PLV2 Fiber HE can support fiber connectivity for up to four remotes with single mode fiber connecting an existing BDA to the PLV2 HE.
1. Headend (HE)
3. Primary BDA
PLV2 CS40 Series UHF/VHF Fiber DAS
Westell’s ProtectLinkV2 (PLV2) Fiber DAS HE (headend) and RE (remote end) allow for fiber connectivity with CS40 Series UHF BDAs, CS40 Series VHF BDAs, and ORUs (optical remote unit). They provide fiber to RF conversion and communication between the headend and remote units.
PLV2 Fiber HE can support fiber connectivity for up to four remotes with single mode fiber connecting an existing BDA to the PLV2 HE.
PLV2 UHF/VHF FIBER DASProtectLink™ CS40 Series 700/800MHz Class A/B Fiber DAS
Westell’s innovative Fiber DAS ready BDA allows for the addition of fiber remotes for expanded coverage.
With the addition of an Optical Master Unit (OMU) mounted below or next to the master BDA, the Fiber DAS ready BDA includes all necessary connections to interface with the OMU while keeping a service RF port to provide the signal to the area around the master BDA. Each OMU accommodates up to 8 Optical Radio Amps, each connected to a Fiber Optical Remote Unit over a single strand of single-mode fiber.
This feature allows integrators to purchase only the number of Optical Radio Amps needed to support the number of remotes installed, reducing installation costs. Up to two OMUs can be added to each system, supporting a total of 16 remotes per Master BDA.
