1 Introduction
The MRU is a mid-power (2 W) remote solution for the Corning ONE™ wireless platform. The MRU provides remote indoor and
outdoor coverage. It is a fiber-fed, compact and scalable multi-service solution designed to complement the Corning ONE
wireless platform by providing complete RF open space coverage for large-scale public venues such as campus applications.
The MRU consists of a compact enclosure that houses the RF modules, power elements and the required interfaces,
supporting up to seven bands in various combinations. It enables multiple wireless technologies and operator services to be
distributed over a single broadband infrastructure. The MRU can be deployed in new sites or alongside existing lower power
RAU/RAU5 remotes, sharing a common headend and element management system. Alongside Corning ONE Wireless
Platform deployments, the MRU provides a comprehensive indoor and outdoor coverage solution for varying site requirements,
supporting everything from high-rise buildings and campus topologies to stadiums and airports.
Management and configuration options are provided for each MRU service via a Web session to the headend control module
(HCM v1.6 and higher). The HCM enables centralized, single-source local and remote management of all system elements.

1.1 Key Features and Capabilities
• Multi-frequency / multi-service platform – supports up to seven bands (including an integrated 2.5 GHz add-on port),
accommodates GSM, UMTS, LTE, and more
• Multioperator-optimized platform - services from a number of operators can be distributed by the same unit.
•
Cost effective higher power – optimizes and reduces the number of antennas required to cover open areas by offering up to
33 dBm (2W) composite power per frequency band.
• Operator grade performance – advanced signal handling, RF filtering and management ensures operator grade
performance.
• Optic fiber savings - all services routed to an MRU unit are routed over a single optic fiber pair
• Design and deployment flexibility – MRU remote unit available in AC or DC power supply options. Antenna splitting
schemes are possible due to the higher power output capability.
• Modular and Scalable Design – modular design enables adding new wireless services easily and cost-effectively without
disruption to workspaces or existing services. Supports external 2.5 GHz RF source.
• Simple installation and maintenance – all connections and status LEDs located on the front panel. MRU is modular, hot
swappable and field upgradable.
• Management and control – alarm forward to NOC or standard element management system (EMS) via SNMP, software
controlled output power and optical link auto gain control.
