A signal distribution system for distributing signals, such as for outdoor
wireless networks, comprises a number of remote hubs, each of which can
direct wireless signals to a number of antennas. The antennas are used to
provide wireless service to the service users, such as mobile units,
within their geographic coverage area. The remote hubs are connected to
main hubs, which are usually located centrally. Each main hub can support
a number of remote hubs. The main hubs are connected to a number of base
stations (again usually located centrally) in a flexible and
re-configurable manner using a switch matrix. Some remote hubs may also
include switched matrices for a further level of signal routing.
