1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 About Corning Optical Network Evolution (ONE™) Solutions
Corning
optical network evolution (ONE
™
) provides an all optical converged solution which provides a flexible in-building cellular
and network data coverage solution based on a fiber optic transport backbone. Fiber-to-the edge technology allows for virtually
unlimited bandwidth to support today and tomorrow’s growing demands of wireless users.
The fiber optic infrastructure is easily deployable via a wide range of preterminated composite cables and advanced end-to-end
equipment. Easy to design, Plug & Play
™
connectors significantly reduce installation cost and deployment time.
Dynamic service distribution group management allows precise service distribution control to meet changing density needs,
and provides further savings by enabling sharing of equipment at various levels for service providers (detailed in Section 1.4).
The solution utilizes single-mode (SM) fiber to extend up to three user configured service groups from the main headend to the
remote sites.
1.2 Key Features and Capabilities
• Comprehensive service support - SISO/MIMO services
• Supported services –LTE 2600 MHz, GSM, 800L, DCS and UMTS
• Flexible, configurable service distribution - advanced capacity and coverage management for better macro offload and
enhanced user experience.
• Broadband enabled:
− A range of ready-made fiber-optic (and power) composite cables simplify installation at all levels
− Fiber backbone unleashes unlimited RF Spectrum
− Easily scales to higher speeds requirements
• Scalable and customizable - infrastructure can be quickly expanded to support more services or increase coverage without
downtime
• Carrier-grade network management:
− Single-source, remote end-to-end field upgradable platform
− Ready for SON, HetNet and future network requirements.
• 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.
• Mid-power remote unit (MRU) provides the following:
− Multioperator-optimized platform - services from a number of operators can be distributed by the same remote unit.
− Cost effective higher power – optimizes and reduces the number of antennas required to cover open areas by offering
up to 33 dBm (2 W) 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.
