MC-Series High-Power System System Definition

RadioFrame Networks, Inc. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY 15
stand-alone microcell base transceiver station (BTS) in the integrated Dispatch Enhanced
Network (iDEN) that simultaneously supports the 800E and 900 MHz bands with the
necessary Tx amplification to achieve +36 dBm per carrier. The three-sector configuration
supplies twelve full-duplex iDEN carriers per sector, or the equivalent of up to 36 Base
Radios (BRs) per site.
The MC-Series High Power system supports two-branch receive diversity. The system
interfaces with the Mobile Switching Office (MSO) via a standard T1 interface, which also
provides the Operations and Maintenance Center (OMC) with alarm information and
enables the OMC to remotely control and configure system operations via a standard site
datafill.
Operation of an MC-Series High Power system requires the use of Multi-channel
RadioBlade (MCRB) transceivers. The MCRB duplicates the RF functions of up to 6
simultaneously operational iDEN radio transceivers, supporting six corresponding
Transmit (Tx) – Receive (Rx) channel pairs with full-duplex operation. In the case of
MCRBs used for diversity, the transmitter is not utilized.
The MC-Series high power system is shipped ready to install and configure. The system
is enclosed in a single 19” equipment cabinet containing all RadioFrame Networks
equipment as well as the two required iSC3s and the required EAS. The customer
provides the required CSU and is responsible for T1 connectivity, datafill (network
provisioning), antenna system, GPS (as required by iSC), electrical supply, any needed
additional environmental cooling, and the necessary permitting.
