4.1. General Installation
The ModuLite™ components need to be set up, followed by performance verification before
installing the system. Foxcom Wireless suggests that a 19” rack-mountable Splice Tray be used at
the Modular Base Unit to facilitate optical fiber splicing. In the rack, the Splice Tray is mounted
above or below the Modular Base Unit (depending on direction of the incoming cables).
The MBU and MRC units should be installed in a communication room that provides access
to authorized personnel only. The units are maintenance free. In the event of failure, only
authorized personnel should handle the units.
Set up procedures for the Modular Base Unit (MBU) and Modular Remote Cabinets (MRC) are for
the following installations:
•
High-rise installations.
•
Horizontal layout installation.
For both installations, setting up the Modular Base Unit and Modular Remote Cabinets consists of
the following steps:
1. Determine antenna placement by system engineer: When an area needs RF cellular
augmentation, a RF engineer needs to determine the type and the location for each antenna. The RF
engineer should consider all relevant RF parameters (RF propagation models, isolation between
antennas in accordance with the appropriate standard, and environmental conditions) as well as
landlord limitations.
2. Determine the amount of antennas required. This number, in turn, determines the number of
Modular Remote Cabinets to be used. The number of Modular Remote Cabinets has a direct
influence on the type and the number of fibers to be installed.
3. Pull fiber optic cable and copper cables through building
. Install fiber optic cable according to
the optic design (see Figure 17) Prepare 10% to 15% more fibers than are actually required. In order
to supply D.C power to the Modular Remote Cabinets remotely, copper cables need to be installed
in parallel to the fiber optic cable (see Figure 17).
