Introduction to the MA-860 System
1.3 Distribution of Services in the MA-860
The MobileAccess 860 WLAN solution offers the capability of distributing any array of
MobileAccess supported RF spectrums/technologies: Wi-Fi, Cellular, Public Safety, and/or WMTS
services via the same antenna infrastructure. The 802.11a/b/g signals from each AP port are
directly connected and distributed to the corresponding antenna port along with any additional
mobile services connected to the mobile services ports.
For example, the signals from an AP connected to MA-860 b/g-1 and a-1 are routed to
antenna-1 along with mobile services connected to Mobile port-1. Signals from an AP
connected to MA-860 b/g-2 and a-2 are routed to antenna-2, along with mobile services
connected to Mobile port-2 for support up to four access points per 860 WLAN module.
Note: Mobile services (in installations where MA-860 units are integrated into MA 1000/2000
installations), the mobile services are distributed over the antenna ports corresponding to the
SMA connection ports.
