Mixed Band LTE 700 MHz MobileAccessVE Instant Coverage Solution User Manual 1
1 Overview
The MobileAccessVE Mixed-Band LTE 700 MHz solution provides enhanced, cost effective, in-
building LTE MIMO Upper C and/or Lower A, B, C 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 VE LTE Mixed-Band solution supports two LTE sub-bands, where the gain and power setting
for each band is independently configured. The VE solution distributes the supported LTE MIMO
700MHz service (Upper C and/or Lower A,B,C bands) to VE Access Pods (VAPs) installed
throughout the enterprise, which distribute the services via integrated internal antennas (or
optional external antennas), and provide Ethernet connectivity (and PoE pass-through) to LAN
terminals. MobileAccessVE 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
IDF/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.
