AxxceLTE eNodeB

Installation Guide v1.0 - 4 -

1 INTRODUCTION

This document is intended to provide basic guidance for properly installing an

AxxceLTE

eNodeB. This device is an integrated unit, combining the base station

network functions and radio control functions. The AxxceLTE

family of products also

make this functions available in separate units: the AxxceLTE BBU and AxxceLTE

RRH. Please contact Axxcelera Support for additional documentation of these products.

The first few sections of this document will explain the product along with the connection

and cabling that will be required while the last few sections will cover the physical

installation of the device(s), basic configuration of the eNodeB and antenna installation.

1.1 Exposure Warning

When servicing equipment and selecting a location for the AxxceLTE antennas, it is

important to note that a minimum distance of 138 cm (55 inches) is required between

personnel and AxxceLTE antennas to comply with a radio-frequency exposure limit of

5.0mW/cm

(47 CFR 1.1310 Table 1, (A) Limits for Occupational/Controlled Exposure).

1.2 Environmental Cautions

• Ambient Temperature – The eNodeB and antennas are outdoor equipment that are

designed to operate over a temperature range of -40C to +55C.

• Reliable Grounding – Reliable grounding of the equipment should be maintained.

Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections

to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

• Power Requirement – Each AxxceLTE product is labelled with its specific power

requirement. All outdoor AxxceLTE units are designed for use with a -48VDC supply,

and can function in the range of -40VDC to -60VDC. The integrated AxxceLTE eNodeB

has the largest power requirement at a maximum of 300watts, or 6.25A @ -48VDC.
