1 Introduction

1.1 About Corning® ONE™ Wireless Platform

The Corning® ONE™ wireless platform is an all optical c onverg ed so lut io n, unifying cellular, Wi-Fi and Ethernet backhaul. The
platform provides a flexible in-building cellular and network data coverage solution based on a fiber optic transport backbone.
Fiber-to-the edge technology allows for virtually unlimited bandwidth to support today and tomorrow’s growing demands of
wireless users.

The fiber optic infrastructure is easily deployable via a wide range of preterminated composite cables and advanced end-to-end
equipment. Easy to design, Plug and Play™ connectors, significantly reduce installation cost and deployment time.

Dynamic service distribution group management allows precise service distribution control to meet changing density needs,
and provides further savings by enabling sharing of equipment at various levels for service providers. Various combinations of
services are allowed for routing from the headend to specified remote locations on each floor, according to user defined
configurations (via the Web management GUI). This allows optimizing service coverage and provides equipment savings.
While the fiber-optics infrastructure is common, the services can be routed via service provider shared or dedicated equipment.
By default, the system is configured to support a single service group: all services are transferred to all remote locations. This
default configuration can be easily modified according to site requirements.

Built-in Gigabit Ethernet support enables offload, expansion and best-use of Wi-Fi resources while the integrated antenna
provides flexibility for ease and cost.

The following figure illustrates service distribution from the head-end to various locations on each remote floor. Each color
represents a specific service, where different combinations of services are distributed at various locations on the same floor
according to coverage requirements.

In addition, the Corning

point-to-point extension of cellular services along with 10 Gb Ethernet to a distance of up to 12.4 miles. The solution utilizes
single mode (SM) fiber to extend up to three user configured service groups from the main headend to a remote site.

1.4 System Architecture and Topologies

The Corning® ONE™ wireless platform solution fiber-optic infrastructure is used to transmit both RF and Ethernet services:

• RF services – Broadband RF distribution over fiber-optics infrastructure transfers converged wireless services from the
headend towards remote-end units (e.g. RAU5) deployed at the remote end locations according to user defined
configuration.

• Ethernet services – fiber-optics infrastructure transfers digital services from the corporate LAN to Gigabyte Ethernet
modules (GEM) and then 3

rd

party equipment deployed on each floor.

Table 1-19. Acronyms in System Architecture

1.4.1 RF Path

At the headend, RF signals from the RF signal sources (e.g. BTS/BDA) are conditioned by service specific (conditioner)
modules in the headend unit (HEU) and organized into (up to three) user configurable sectors. The conditioned RF signals are
converted to optic signals by the (wideband) optic interface unit (OIU) and specific sectors are routed towards selected remote
locations according to user defined configurations.

The optic fibers at the OIU are routed to the integrated centralized unit (ICU) at the remote end. From the ICU the optic fibers are
distributed along with DC to the remote access units (RAU5).

For small/medium size deployments an integrated headend unit (IHU) can be installed at the headend. The IHU is a compact
headend unit that interfaces up to eight RF sources, conditions the signals and performs the RF to optic conversion of the
signals which are then routed towards the remote site.

Note: A fully occupied OIU (12 OIMs) supports up to 36 RAUs; Each IHU can support up to eight OIMs (with four RIMs)
supporting up to 24 RAUs.

1.4.2 Ethernet Path

The digital services from the corporate LAN (received via Ethernet Switch) are converted to optic signals by the centralized
Ethernet unit (CEU) and routed over optic fibers towards the GEM units. The optical traffic is then converted to 1 GbE by the
Gigabit Ethernet modules (GEM) modules and distributed to two third party equipment such as access points, Ethernet switch,
etc.

Note: GEMs can be connected to the CEU either directly, or via an ICU (described in section 1.4.1 ). In that case, the ICU can
also provide DC to the GEMs.

1.6 User Controlled Service Group Distribution

Corning® ONE™ fiber-optics infrastructure allows various combinations of SISO services to be routed from the headend to
specified remote locations on each floor, according to user defined configurations. This allows optimizing service coverage and
provides equipment savings. While the fiber-optics infrastructure is common, the services can be routed via service provider
shared or dedicated equipment. By default, the system is configured to support a single service group: all services are
transferred to all remote locations. This default configuration can be easily modified according to site requirements.

The following figure illustrates service distribution from the head-end to various locations on each remote floor. Each color
represents a specific service, where different combinations of services are distributed at various locations on the same floor
according to coverage requirements.

Figure 1-6. Illustration of Service Group Distribution

Introduction

CMA-331-AEN

Page 30

1.6.1 Single Service Group Example

In this example, all four services (A,B,C,D) are routed to all (up to 72) remote locations. In the illustrated topology, a single HEU
conditions the services and feeds them to two OIU systems for conversion to optic signals. Each OIU supports up to 36 RAU
(Remote Access Units).

Figure 1-7. Single Service Group Configuration

Introduction

CMA-331-AEN

Page 31

1.6.2 Dual Service Group Example

In this example, two service groups are defined: A,B,C and C,D. Note that a service can be allocated to any of the service
groups at the same time. For example, service C is allocated to both service groups. Both service groups are routed to the OIU
for optic conversion. Each OIU module (OIM) can be configured to support either one or (if they do not have a common band) to
both service groups and the corresponding services are routed from the OIM to its hosted RAU units.

Note: In the example below, band C is common to both Service groups #1 and #2; therefore, an OIM cannot be assigned both
service groups (i.e. ABC + CD) .

Figure 1-8. Example of Dual Service Group Configuration

1.6.3 Tri Service Group Example

In this example, three service groups are defined: ABC, AB, CD. Note that a service can be allocated to any of the service
groups at the same time. For example, services C and B are allocated to two of the service groups. The services are routed to
the OIU for optic conversion. Each Optical Interface Module (OIM) can be configured to be included in either one, two or three
service groups in any combination and the corresponding services are routed from the OIM to its hosted RAU units.

Note: An OIM cannot support two service groups that have a common band (e.g. ABC and BC, or ABC and CD).

Figure 1-9. Example of Three Service Group Configuration

Introduction

CMA-331-AEN

Page 32

1.6.4 Tri Service Group Example with Two HEUs

This tri-service group example supports two HEUs. In this topology, the services routed via the two HEUs can be grouped in any
combination between the two, providing up to three service groups. These groups of services are all routed towards a common
OIU. Each OIU module (OIM) can be configured to support any (legal) combination of service groups and the corresponding
services are routed from the OIM to its hosted RAU units.

Note: Multiple service groups allocated to the same OIM cannot share any identical frequency bands.

Figure 1-10. Example of Tri-Service Group Configuration with Two HEUs

1.6.5 Example of FMM-to-FRM Service Distribution

The example in Figure 1-11 illustrates the basic FMM-to-FRM connectivity for extending conditioned services from a main site
where the RF sources are deployed to remote sites at a distance of up to 12.4 miles (20 km). Three service groups can be
configured to transfer services over one FCM link.

On the downlink, RF signals are conditioned by the RIMs then converted by the FMM to an optical signal transporting it to the
remote FRM along with the 10 GbE transport.

At the remote site, the FRM converts the received optical signal to RF signals to feed different remote units with user-defined
service groups. The 10 GbE transport pipe will be forwarded to the Ethernet switches.

Figure 1-11. Example 1 of FMM-to-FRM Service Distribution

Introduction

CMA-331-AEN

Page 33

The example in Figure 1-12 illustrates a differentiation of service groups. In addition to all of the configured service groups being
transmitted to all of the remote units at the main site, two of the service groups (2 and 3) are transported to the remote site and
then to different remote units.

4.6 RF Coaxial Cable Guidelines

4.6.1 General Cable Installation Procedures

Note: The installer should be familiar with the ANSI/TIA/EIS-568 Cabling Sta ndard guidelines.

Observe the general cable installation procedures that meet with the building codes in your area. The building code requires
that all cabling be installed above ceiling level (where applicable). The length of cable from the risers to each antenna must be
concealed above the ceiling.

The cable must be properly supported and maintained straight using velcro cable ties, cable trays and clamps or hangers every
10 feet (where practical above ceiling level). Where this is not practical, the following should be observed:

• The minimum bending radius of the supplied ½” coax cable should be 7”.

• Cable that is kinked or has a bending radius smaller than 7” must be replaced.

• Cable runs that span less than two floors should be secured to suitably located mechanical structures.

• The cables should be supported only from the building structure.

• All cables shall be weather-resistant type

• Cable length - determined by the system installation plan. When calculating the cable length, take into account excess cable

slack so as not to limit the insertion paths.

4.6.2 RF Rules

.

• Use coax RG-223, 50 ohm, male-to-male N-type to QMA for RF connections from the RIMs to the BTS/RBS and to the
RAUs.

• When using the Corning system in an environment in which other indoor coverage systems are installed, it is recommended
(where possible) that the antennas are placed at least two meters apart

• When bending coax cables, verify that the bending radius does not exceed the coax specifications.

• Use a VSWR meter (i.e. Site Master or equivalent) for checking coax cables, including the antennas. (<2). The VSWR must

be measured prior to terminating the RAUs at the remote locations

4.6.3 Coax Cable Lengths and Losses

Use coax ½”, 50ohm, male-to-male QMA type, for connecting to RAU and external antenna ports.

Note: The required distance between the antennas (installed in the ceiling) depends on the infrastructure and calculated
path-loss. For example, if there is free space-loss between the antennas, a minimum distance of 100 ft is required; if there are
partitions (loss) between the antennas, a distance of less than 100 ft between them is allowed.

4.8.2 Fiber Optic Rules

• Use only MTP® or LC APC connectors

IMPORTANT! All RF link patches along the FMM-to-FRM link must be LC APC. Do not use UPC!

•

• UniCam connectors can be used for field termination

• Use only

• Use minimum splicing/connectors to achieve minimum losses on the fibers (< 0.5 dB)

• Use precaution while installing, bending, or connecting fiber optic cables:

• Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending and crushing forces. Consult the cable specification sheet for

• Do not bend cable more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius.

• Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified.

• Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of

• Use an optical power meter and light source for checking the fiber optic cables

• Make sure the environment is clean while connecting/splicing fiber optic cables

• All fiber optic connectors should be cleaned prior to connecting to the system

• Fiber connector protective caps should be installed on all non-terminated fibers and removed just before they are

terminated.

• Pay special attention while connecti ng the MTP
secure connection

• Never look directly into the end of a fiber that may be carrying laser light. Laser light can be invisible and can damage your
eyes.

SAFETY WARNINGS

• When installing or selecting the power supplies:
Be sure to disconnect all power sources before servicing.

•

• Calculate the required power according to the requirements of the specific installation and then determine the configuration

of the power supplies. The required DC cables will then be determined by the selected PS configuration.

• Use only UL approved power supplies

• AC and DC power supply cables

• Install external over-current protective devices for the system according to the requirements described in Section 1.5.

Types of Power Supplies

Corning supplies various power supplies that can be installed in a rack or mounted on a wall, depending on your configuration.
