Network Applications
 The ZXRAN V9200 supports the
star or chain networks with
RRUs/AAUs through optical fibers.
 Star network: Each RRU or AAU is
connected to the ZXRAN V9200 in
point-to-point mode, see the following
figure.This networking mode has higher
reliability, but requires more
transmission resources. It is applicable
to more densely populated areas.

5
Network Applications
 Chain network: Multiple RRUs or AAUs are connected into a chain, and then connected to the ZXRAN
V9200, see Figure 2. This mode requires fewer transmission resources, but has less reliability.
