2.1 System Overview

InterReach Fusion Wideband is an intelligent fiber optics/CATV, multi-band (fre­quencies) wireless networking system designed to handle both wireless voice and
data communications over licensed frequencies. It provides high-quality, ubiquitous,
seamless access to the wireless network in larger buildings.

Fusion Wideband provides RF characteristics designed for large public and private
facilities such as campus environments, airports, shopping malls, subways, conven­tion centers, sports venues, and so on. Fusion Wideband uses microprocessors to
enable key capabilities such as software-selectable band settings, automatic gain con­trol, ability to incrementally adjust downlink/uplink gain, end-to-end alarming of all
components and the associated cable infrastructure, and a host of additional capabili­ties.

The Fusion Wideband system supports major wireless standards and air interface pro­tocols in use around the world, including:

• Frequencies: 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz,
2100 MHz, 2500 MHz.

• Voice Protocols: AMPS, TDMA, CDMA, GSM/EGSM, WCDMA, LTE, WiMAX

System Overview

• Data Protocols: CDPD, EDGE, GPRS, WCDMA, CDMA2000, 1xRTT, EV-DO,
LTE, Paging, and WiMAX

The Fusion Wideband system supports three configurable bands:

• Band 1 in 60 MHz and can be configured for 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 1900 MHz,
2100 MHz, or 2500 MHz

• Band 2 in 75 MHz and can be configured for 1700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz,
2100 MHz, or 2500 MHz

Both bands support all protocols.
Fusion Wideband remote access units (RAUs) contain combinations of Band 1,

Band 2, and Band 3 frequencies to support various world areas. These frequencies
are 1800 MHz/2100 MHz for Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, or
800 MHz/850 MHz/1900 MHz for North America. Refer to Table 2-4 for a spe­cific list of supported RAUs.

• Band 3 (only used for North America: FSN-W2-808519-1, FSN-W2-7021-1, and
FSN-W2-7575-1). For example, the FSN-W2-808519-1 RAU Band 3 is a 25 MHz
sub-band of the 60 MHz Band and Band 1 is an 18 MHz sub-band of the 60 MHz
Band.

Key System Features

• Multi-Band, supports two or more full band frequencies for spectrum growth.

• Superior RF performance, particularly in the areas of IP3 and noise fig u re.

• High downlink composite power and low uplink noise figure enables support of
a large number of channels and larger coverage footprint per antenna.

• Softwar e configurable Main and Expansion Hubs allow the frequency bands to be
configured in the field.

• Either single-mode or multi-mode f iber can be used, supporting flexible cabling
alternatives (in addition to standard CATV 75 Ohm cabling). You can select the
cabling type to met the resident cabling infrastructure of the facility and unique
building topologies.

• Extended system “reach.” Using single-mode fiber, fiber runs can be a long as 6
kilometers (creating a total system “wingspan” of 12 kilometers). Alternatively,
with multi-mode fiber, fiber runs can be as long as 500 meters.

• Standard 75 Ohm CATV cable, can be run up to 130 meters for RG-59 cable;
140 meters for RG-6; 235 meters for RG-11 using CommScope 2065V , 2279V, and
2293K cables.

• Flexible RF conf iguration capabilities, including:

• System gain:
– Ability to manually set gain in 1 dB steps, from 0 to 15 dB, on both down-

link and uplink.

2-2 InterReach Fusion Wideband Installation, Operation, and Reference Manual

CONFIDENTIAL D-620616-0-20 Rev D

•RAU:
– RAU uplink and downlink gain can be independently attenuated 0 or 10 dB.
– Uplink level control protects the system from input overload and can be

optimized for either a single operator or multiple operators/protocols.

– VSWR check on RAU reports if there is a disconnected antenna.

• Firmware Updates are downloaded (either locally or remotely) to the system

when any modifications are made to the product, including the addition of new
software capabilities and services.

• OA&M capabilities, including fault isolation to the field replaceable unit, report-

ing of all fault and warning conditions, and user-friendly web browser user inter­face OA&M software package.

2.2 System Hardware Description

The InterReach Fusion Wideband system consists of three modular components:

System Hardware Description

• 19" rack-mountable Main Hub (connects to up to 4 Expansion Hubs, except for

the One Port Main Hub configuration that supports 1 Expansion Hub)

• Converts RF signals to optical IF on the downlink; optical IF-to-RF on the
uplink

• Microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)

• Auto-configurable bands

• Simplex interface to RF source

• Periodically polls all downstream RAUs for system status, and automatically
reports any fault or warning conditions

• 19” rack mountable Expansion Hub (connects to up to 8 Remote Access Units)

• Optical signal conversion to electrical on the downlink; electrical to optical on
the uplink

• Microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)

• Software configurable band (based on commands from the Main Hub)

• Supplies DC power to RAUs over CATV cable.

• Remote Access Unit (RAU)

• Converts IF signals to RF on the downlink; RF-to-IF on the uplink

• Microprocessor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)

• Multi-band protocol independent, frequency specific units

The minimum configuration of a Fusion Wideband system is one Main Hub, one
Expansion Hub, and one RAU (1-1-1). The maximum configuration of a system is

Help Hot Line (U.S. only): 1-800-530-9960 2-3

D-620616-0-20 Rev D CONFIDENTIAL

System Hardware Description

one Main Hub, four Expansion Hubs, and 32 RAUs (1-4-32). Multiple systems can
be combined to provide larger configurations.

NOTE: The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub (PN: FSN-W1-MH-1P
and FSN-W2-MH-1P) configuration is a cost reduced version of the Fusion
Wideband Main Hub and supports only one Expansion Hub (up to 8 RAUs).

The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub is “software locked” to 1 port 2
fiber ports. Additional ports are disabled internally. Please do not attempt to

remove the fr ont panel fiber port plate, since doing so will void the product
warranty.

System OA&M Capabilities Overview

2.3 System OA&M Capabilities Overview

InterReach Fusion Wideband is microprocessor controlled and contains firmware to
enable much of the operations, administration, and maintenance (OA&M) functionality.

Complete alarming, down to the field replaceable unit (that is, Fusion Wideband
Main Hub, Expansion Hub, and Remote Access Unit) and the cabling infrastructure,
is available. All events occurring in a system, defined as a Fusion Wideband Main
Hub and all of its associated Expansion Hubs and Remote Access Units, are automat­ically reported to the Main Hub. The Main Hub monitors system status and communi­cates that status using the following methods:

• Normally closed (NC) alarm contact closures can be tied to standard NC alarm
monitoring systems or directly to a base station for basic alarm monitoring.

• Connection Methods:

• The Main Hub’s front panel RJ-45 port connects directly to a PC (for local
Ethernet access).

• The Main Hub’s front panel RS-232 serial port connects directly to a modem
(for remote access).

• Remote access is also available with an optional 100BASE-T LAN switch con­nections to the RJ-45 port.

2.3.1 System Monitoring and Reporting

Each Fusion Wideband Main Hub in the system constantly monitors itself, its Expan­sion Hubs, and their downstream RAUs for internal fault and warning conditions. The
results of this monitoring are stored in memory and compared against new results.

When a Main or Expansion Hub detects a change in status, it reports a fault or warn­ing alarm. Faults are also indicated locally by red status LEDs. Both faults and warn­ings are reported to AdminBrowser software and displayed on a PC/laptop connected
to the Main Hub’s RJ-45 port. Passive antennas connected to the RAUs are not moni­tored automatically. Perform a System Test to retrieve status information about anten­nas.

Using AdminBrowser, you can install a new system or new components, change sys­tem parameters, and query system status. Figure 2-4 illustrates how the system
reports its status to AdminBrowser.

When you connect FlexWave Focus or a BTS to the Fusion Wideband, the Fusion
Wideband Main Hub outputs the alarms (alarm source) and FlexWave Focus or the
BTS receives the alarms (alarm sense). This is described in Section 7.7.1 on page
7-57.

2.4 System Connectivity

The double star architecture of the Fusion Wideband system, illustrated in Figure 2-5,
provides excellent system scalability and reliability. The system requires only one
pair of fibers for eight antenna points. This makes any system expansion, such as add­ing an extra antenna for additional coverage, potentially as easy as pulling an extra
CATV cable.
