4.2.4 Multi-Building Rack Installation
The figure below provides an example of a multi-building solution which distributes two bands
from a main site over two remote sites up to 20Km away. The MA 330 units extend the RF
signal from the Main to the Remote buildings over a single strand of fiber. Uplink and downlink
signal are placed on the single fiber at 1310 and 1550 respectively.
The MA 330 system provides flexible solutions for various site requirements. The figure below
illustrates two types of installations:
• Remote Building 1 – installation in a remote location with several Base Units. For clarity,
the example shows two Base Units. However, the configuration applies to a maximum of four
(8-port) Base Units that are supported using an MA 330 Expansion Box.
The MA 330 Remote unit forwards the signals as follows:
• Service signals to the Base Units
• Control signals from MA 430 Master controller at the main site to the MA 410 Slave
controller at the remote site. The Base Units are controlled through the MA 410
controller.
• Building 2 – special installations in a remote location with
a single Base Unit. The MA 330
Remote unit forwards both the service and the control signals from the main building
directly
to the Base Units. Note that a MA 410 Controller is not required in this type of installation.
