or actions may be necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.

The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent,
as far as reasonably, practicable danger. Any work activity on or
near equipment involving installation, operation or maintenance
must be, as far as reasonably, free from danger.

Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving
adverse weather, extreme temperatures, wet, corrosive or dirty
conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system
must be suitably installed to prevent danger.

Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals
from electrical risk must be suitable for the purpose and properly
maintained and used. This covers a range of activities including
lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or
restraining an object, animal or person from the equipment. It
also covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such
as pulling a lever, or operating power tools.

Where some of the abovementioned activities are required, the
equipment must be handled with care to avoid being damaged.

Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive
devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic devices are
ESD-sensitive. Ensure the use of a grounded wrist strap or
equivalent while working with ESD-sensitive devices. Transport,

Compliance with RF safety requirements:

• Corning products have no inherent significant RF radiation.

• The RF level on the downlink is very low at the downlink

ports. Therefore, there is no dangerous RF radiation when
the antenna is not connected.

INTRODUCTION

1

The mid-power remote expansion unit (MxU) is a new addition
to the Corning® optical network evolution (ONE™) solution
mid-power product line which enables medium power
transmission for the 2.5 GHz band (TDD). The MxU is a 1U
add-on unit that enhances the scalable multiservice MRU
solution, adding additional service support at a relatively low
cost.

The MxU expands the MRUs service distribution at remote
locations to include the 2.5 GHz LTE (TDD) band, enabling up to
eight operator services (with the MRU) to be distributed over a
single broadband infrastructure.

The MxU interfaces to the MRU, providing broadband
frequency support over UL/DL RF expansion ports. It supports
the 2.5 GHz frequency band in a single enclosure and includes a
future option for connecting additional add-on units for even
more band support.

All eight services are distributed over the same infrastructure:
routed to the MRU over a single optic fiber, distributed over the
same footprint and managed as a single element via a web
session to the headend control module (HCM) — as the MRU.

1.2 System Description

In the downlink, at the headend, BTS/BDA RF signals are
conditioned by service-specific RIMs installed in the headend unit
(i.e., HEU/IHU), ensuring a constant RF level. All eight conditioned
signals (MRU + MxU) are then forwarded to the optical interface
unit (OIU) and converted by the OIMs to an optical signal for
transporting over single-mode fiber to the MRU at the remote
location.

The services supported by the MRU are filtered and amplified
by the MRU, whereas the 2.5 GHz band is filtered and amplified
by the MxU. All eight services are combined and distributed via
the MRU antenna port over the broadband antenna
infrastructure installed at the remote locations. In the uplink,
the process is reversed.
