1 Introduction to the MA 1000 System 1.1 About MobileAccess™ 1000 MobileAccess™ 1000 converged wireless networks solution provides scalable in-building coverage for multiple wireless data and voice services through a single coax and broadband antenna infrastructure. The solution is based on combining a number of services, both voice and data, at each covered location and distributing them through a common antenna infrastructure.
Introduction to the MA 1000 System 1.
Introduction to the MA 1000 System All services are combined and distributed through the same antenna broadband infrastructure. To provide optimum coverage at all times and monitoring and control of all system elements from a central location MA provides the following devices: • MA Radio Interface Units (RIUs) – The RIUs provide interfaces for up to three BTS/BDA signals, and automatically adjusts the output signal in response to input signal level in order to provide optimal coverage.
Introduction to the MA 1000 System 1.3 Configuration Options The MobileAccess™ 1000/1200 system includes three basic configuration options: A) Basic configuration The Base Unit drives a single or dual band, MobileAccess™ 1000 RHU. The dual band RHU consists of a low band service (cellular 800, iDEN, Paging, or GSM 900) and a high band service (PCS 1900 or DCS 1800). Figure 2.
Introduction to the MA 1000 System C) Using the MobileAccess 850/860 WLAN module to provide access to high datarate service A WLAN module (MobileAccess™ 850/860) may also be added in a configuration that includes both RHU 1000 and RHU 1200 or only RHU 1000. Figure 4. MobileAccess 1000/1200 BU – RHU Plus Add-on Plus WLAN Configuration 1.4 MA 410/430 Remote Management The MobileAccess (MA) Network Management System (NMS) provides complete site coverage and network management.
Introduction to the MA 1000 System • MCT – a Java based GUI application provided with both controllers. The MCT is used after the installation procedure to adjust MobileAccess devices according to the installation site characteristics in order to optimize coverage for the site. The application is installed and ran from a computer that is connected either locally or via remote dial-up modem to the controller site to be adjusted or monitored.
2 System Elements This chapter describes the MA1000 system basic elements: MA remote modules (MA 100 RHU and MA1200 Add-on) and the Base Units. Your system may include additional elements such as MA 410/430 controllers, MA RIUs and MA850 or MA860 units; these are described in the corresponding User Guides. 2.1 Remote Modules The Optical to RF conversion of each service at the individual building floors is performed by remote units corresponding to the service types.
System Elements 2.1.1.1 RHU 1000 Front Panel The RHU 1000 front panel contains the fiber optic connections to the BU, four coax connections to the antennas, power connections and status indicators. If RHU 1000 and MA 1200 add-on units are installed, then the combined services are fed to the coax infrastructure through the RHU 1000 antenna ports. However, if MA 850/860 is also installed, the combined data and voice services are fed to the coax infrastructure through the MA 850/860 antenna ports.
System Elements 2.1.1.2 RHU 1000 Rear Panel The RHU 1000 rear-panel provides the control, RF interface and optic interface ports that enable connecting an MA 1200 add-on unit to the RHU 1000 module.

The eight-port BU consists of two four-port elements where each four-port element has a dedicated set of indicators (PWR, LSR and Link 1 to Link 4 or Link 5 to Link 8). Four ports and corresponding indicators Four ports and corresponding indicators Figure 9. Eight-Port MA BU Front Panel Figure 10.
System Elements 2.2.1.2 BU Rear Panel The BU rear panel contains the RF, NMS, and power connections. Note that there are two uplink and two downlink RF connections to the BTS side (to an Interface Box or RIU) - each individual uplink and downlink connection corresponds to a four-port BU element. For a four-port BU, one uplink and one downlink port is connected; for an eight-port BU, two uplink and two downlink ports are connected.
Site Preparation 3 Site Preparation 3.1 Infrastructure Preparation This following installation rules are based on the assumption that site survey and installation planning (including power requirements) have been completed. 3.2 Installation Requirements The infrastructure preparation consists of two main phases: A. Floor Planning: Planning the distribution of the antennas on each floor to provide the required coverage. B.
Site Preparation 3.3.2 Fiber Optic Rules • Either single mode or multimode fiber can be used with MobileAccess 1000M products, while MobileAccess 1000 products can only be used with single mode fiber. • Only Multimode fiber, 50/125 or 62.5/125um complying with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B series, EN50173-1 or ISO/IEC 11801 can be used. The fiber length can be up to 300 meters assuming the following qualifications: All fiber in a given length of fiber must be of the same core diameter.
Site Preparation • 3.3.3 Pay special attention while connecting the SC/APC connectors - you must hear the “click” when the connection is made. RF Rules • Use coax ½”, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type, (6-7dB for 1Ghz, 11dB for 2Ghz) for connecting to RHU and RHU ports. • Use coax RG223, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type for RF connections from the BUs to the BTS/RBS and to the RIU.
Site Preparation 3.4.2 Power Consumption of Units Table 3-1.
