LTE 700 MHz MobileAccessVE Instant Coverage Solution User Manual 1
1 Overview
The MobileAccessVE LTE 700 MHz MIMO solution provides enhanced, cost effective, in-building
LTE MIMO coverage for any small to large-sized enterprise environment. This solution is quickly
and easily deployed using the existing Ethernet cabling infrastructure without affecting existing
LAN services or performance.
The
MobileAccessVE solution distributes LTE MIMO service to VE Access Pods (VAPs) installed
throughout the enterprise and which distribute the services via integrated internal antennas (or
optional external antennas), and provide Ethernet connectivity (and PoE pass-through) to LAN
terminals. VE seamlessly coexists with the Enterprise LAN and does not consume LAN capacity.
The VAPs are distributed on each floor and plug into existing standard Ethernet jacks. They are
powered via PoE technology and managed via a VE Control Unit (VCU) located in the floor’s telco
closet. For site coverage that requires more than one VCU, several VCUs can be aggregated
under a single Master VCU. The Master VCU provides the interface to the carrier’s capacity
sources and management.
This enhanced LTE 700 MIMO coverage solution can be quickly and easily installed with minimal
disturbance to the enterprise. In less than a few hours and with no additional cables being
required, a scalable and flexible solution is provided at a significantly lower total installation cost.
The following figures illustrate single-tier and multi-tier VE installations.
In a single-tier installation the VCU is connected to both the service provider’s equipment and
the Ethernet switch, and distributes Ethernet and mobile services to up to 12 VAPs distributed
over one more adjacent floors.
Figure  1-1. Single-Tier VE Installation
Multi-tier installation includes the Master VCU that supports up to 12 Slave VCUs. In this type of
installation the provider’s services are fed to the Master VCU through which the Slave VCUs are
controlled and managed.
