2 System Description
The MC-Series System is a stand-alone microcell base transceiver station (BTS) that provides
radio communication links between the land network and mobile subscriber units in an integrated
Dispatch Enhanced Network (iDEN). The MC-Series System interfaces with the Mobile Switching
Office (MSO) via a standard T1 interface. This link 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.
The MC-Series System contains both RadioFrame Networks' and non-RFN equipment enclosed
in a single 19” equipment cabinet. The MC-Series System, or MC-15, is a three-sector
configuration that supplies five full-duplex iDEN carriers per sector with the option to upgrade to
24 channels total. In the future, this platform will allow further upgrades to 36 BRs.
The MC-Series System is shipped ready to install and configure. The customer provides all non-
RFN hardware, T1 connectivity, datafill (network provisioning), antenna system, GPS (as required
by iSC), electrical supply and the necessary permitting.
