The Optical Network Evolution Platform (ONE™) by Corning provides a flexible in-building RF and network digital coverage
solution based on a fiber optic transport backbone.
The fiber-optics infrastructure is easily deployable via a wide range of pre-terminated composite cables and advanced
end-to-end equipment. Easy to design, Plug and Play™ connectors, significantly reduce installation cost and deployment time.
The ONE™ solution is an ideal fit for large, high-rise or campus-style deployments. It generates significant CAPEX savings and
OPEX savings through the use of user configurable sectorization and an infrastructure that is simple to deploy and efficient in
usage.
Dynamic sectorization 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.
Radio source agnostic, remote units can be used as network extenders. Ethernet capability with dedicated fiber link for Wi-Fi
offload brings a higher level of granularity and support for devices and applications with very high speed requirements.

1.5 System Architecture and Topologies
The ONE™ solution fiber-optic infrastructure is used to transmit both RF and digital services:
• RF services – fiber-optics infrastructure transfers converged wireless services from the headend towards Remote Antenna
Units (RAU) deployed at the remote end locations according to user defined configuration.
• Digital 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.
1.5.1 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 HEU (Headend Unit) and organized into (up to three) user configurable sectors. The conditioned RF signals are converted
to optic signals by the (wideband) OIU (Optic Interface Unit) and specific sectors are routed towards selected remote locations
according to user defined configurations.
The optic fibers at the OIU are routed to the ICU (Integrated Centralized Unit) at the remote end. From the ICU the optic fibers
are distributed along with DC to the Remote Antenna Units (RAU).
Figure 1-4. RF coverage Architecture
Introduction
P/N 709C011801
Page 21
1.5.2 Digital Path
The Digital services from the corporate LAN (received via Ethernet Switch) are converted to optic signals by the CEU (Centralized
Ethernet Unit) and routed over optic fibers towards the GEM units. The optical traffic is then converted to 1GbE by the GEM
(Gigabit Ethernet Modules) 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 under RF Path (on page 20)). In that case,
the ICU can also provide DC to the GEMs.
Figure 1-5. ONE™ Solution Digital Path Architecture
1.6 ONE™ WEB Management Application
The ONE™ solution consisting of the HEU and its hosted elements is managed via a WEB session to the HEU. The GUI based WEB
management application provides all the required configuration, management and monitoring options for the ONE™ system.
The ONE™ Web management application consists of the Main Menu bar, where the displayed side-bar and work area options
vary according to the selected menu option.
NOTE: The available tabs and capabilities vary depending on the access level used to open your session.

1.7 User Controlled Sectorization
ONE™ fiber-optics infrastructure allows various combinations of SISO and MIMO 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 sector: 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 ach 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 1-8. Illustration of Sectorization
Introduction
P/N 709C011801
Page 25
1.7.1 MIMO Configurations
MIMO topologies provide more density by using two independent RF paths for the same service, where the independent paths
are implemented by dedicated modules along the path.
MIMO configuration is implemented by routing the two RF bands over dedicated RF paths at both the entry point (in the Headend
Unit) and at the exit point (at the Remote Unit). Note that the Optical Interface Unit is wideband and the services are combined
in a single OIM for routing to the same Remote End Unit. At the Remote End Unit, the services are distributed by two dedicated
modules.
NOTE: MIMO configuration can also be implemented by two separate Remote End Units.
Figure 1-9. Example of MIMO Configuration
1.7.2 Single Sector 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 Antenna Units).
Figure 1-10. Single Sector Configuration
Introduction
P/N 709C011801
Page 26
1.7.3 Dual Sector Example
In this example, two sectors (groups/layers) of services are defined: A,B,C and C,D. Note that a service can be allocated to any
of the sectors at the same time. For example, service C is allocated to both Sectors. Both sectors 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
sectors 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 Sector #1 and #2; therefore, an OIM cannot be assigned both sectors
(i.e. ABC + CD).
Figure 1-11. Example of Dual Sector Configuration
1.7.4 Tri-sector Example
In this example, three sectors (groups/layers) of services are defined: ABC, AB,CD. Note that a service can be allocated to any
of the sectors at the same time. For example, services C and B are allocated to two of the sectors. The sectors are routed to
the OIU for optic conversion. Each OIU module (OIM) can be configured to support either one, two or three sectors in any
combination and the corresponding services are routed from the OIM to its hosted RAU units.
NOTE: An OIM cannot support two sectors that have a common band (e.g. ABC and BC, or ABC and CD).
Figure 1-12. Example of Tri-sector Configuration
Introduction
P/N 709C011801
Page 27
1.7.5 Tri-sector Example with Two HEUs
This tri-sector example supports two HEUs. In this topology, one HEU supports three sectors (groups/layers) and the other two
sectors for a total of five sectors. These groups of services are all routed towards a common OIU. Each OIU module (OIM) can
be configured to support any (legal) combination of sectors and the corresponding services are routed from the OIM to its hosted
RAU units.
NOTE: Multiple sectors allocated to the same OIM cannot share any identical frequency bands.

6.6.3.4 RF Path
In the RF Path phase, up to three groups of services (Sectors) can be configured, where each sector consists of a number of
services (RIM). A RIM can belong to any or all of the sectors at the same time and each OIM module can then be assigned one
or more of the sectors in any combination. (The same RIM service cannot be allocated to the same OIM in multiple sectors). The
RAU modules hosted by each OIM distributed the services routed by the host OIM.
NOTE: In the GUI, Sectors are referred to as Layers (Layer-1, Layer-2 and Layer-3).
The following block diagram illustrates an example of three configured RF Paths (Layers):
• Sector 1 - consists of Service A and is routed only to OIM #4 to the hosted RAU modules. See example of configuration via
GUI in RAU Configuration – section 7.4.
• Sector 2 – consists of Service A and B and is routed to OIM#5 and to OIM #6, to the hosted RAU modules
• Sector 3 – consists of Service A, B, C and D and is routed to OIM #6, to the hosted RAU modules
NOTE: RIMs and OIMs can be assigned to Layers in any combination.
