Head End
Varis’ Smart Com VHF Head End (HE) is the interface between Base Station equipment such as Repeaters and the Smart Com Leaky Feeder network. Smart Com Head End units have a pre-amplifier which compensates for the splitting losses in the Head End and performs system Automatic Gain Control (AGC). The Head End unit also injects DC power onto the Leaky Feeder cable to power Smart Com Line amplifiers located near the basestation.
