IOT automation and data collection system
First Claim
1. An automation system comprising:
- a distributed antenna system (DAS) for receiving at least one cellular service from at least one base station, the distributed antenna system (DAS) comprising a head end unit (HEU) and a plurality of remote antenna units (RAU), the head end unit (HEU) being configured for routing the at least one cellular service to the plurality of remote antenna units (RAU);
at least one of the plurality of remote antenna units comprising;
a first transceiver configured for uplinking and downlinking a signal of a cellular service; and
at least one second transceiver configured for uplinking a signal of at least one electrical element, the electrical element configured to generate an electrical signal on the occurrence of an event and to transmit the generated signal to the at least one second transceiver;
a router configured for connecting to the at least one of the plurality of remote antenna units, the router configured for routing data from the at least one second transceiver received from the electrical element; and
an automation controller configured to determine adjustments to the automation system based on the received electrical element data or on demand.

Abstract
A system and method for automating a deployment site served by a distributed antenna system (DAS) is disclosed. The deployment site is configured with a plurality of remote antenna units (RAU). At least one of the plurality of remote antenna units includes a first transceiver for uplinking and downlinking a signal of a cellular service and at least one second transceiver for uplinking a signal of at least one electrical element. Data from the at least one second transceiver received from an electrical element is collected and routed to an electrical element data collector configured to aggregate the collected data. Adjustments to and optimization of a device within the deployment site are based on the collected data.
