Overview

Mixed Band LTE 700 MHz MobileAccessVE Instant Coverage Solution User Manual 4

The VAPs distribute the wireless LTE service via integrated internal antennas or (optional)

external antennas and provide Ethernet/IP connectivity (and PoE pass-through) to the connected

appliances such as WiFi APs and IP phones.

1.3 System Elements

This chapter describes the interfaces of the VE Control Units and Access Pods.

1.3.1 VE Control Unit (VCU)

While operating as a Master VCU:

• Interfaces to RF source(s) and to VCUs/VAPs.

• Converges Wireless services and distribution to Slave VCUs and VAPs

• Slave VCUs and VAP management and control.

• Remote management of the entire deployment.

While operating as a Slave VCU:

• Interfaces to Master VCU.

• Converges Wireless services, Ethernet and PoE and interfaces to VAPs.

• Management and control of connected VAPs.
