GX products offer scalable, cost-effective 40 W (46 dBm)
high-power remote outdoor coverage solutions for Corning
distributed antenna systems (DAS).
GX remotes compliment both the MA1000/MA2000 platform
and the Corning® optical network evolution (ONE™) solution,
sharing a common equipment headend and element
management system (EMS) with the other system remotes.
GX is a fiber-fed, dual-band, multioperator remote designed to
complement lower power, standard remotes. GX can also be
installed as a dedicated solution for new sites, providing
complete RF coverage in large open indoor, tunnel, and
adjacent outdoor spaces.
Using low-loss fiber optic cabling, GX remote units can
distribute multiple BTS signal sources for 2.3 GHz and 2.5 GHz
TDD to multiple remote locations between 2 to 15 km from the
headend to remotes. GX efficiently supports all operator
modulations with linear MCPA (multicarrier power amplifier)
up to 40 W.
GX remotes offer high RF power coverage capabilities with
compact design for added spaces savings and
weather-resistant enclosures to fit various site needs..

1.2 System Description
1.2.1 GX Dual-Band with Corning® Optical
Network Evolution (ONE™) Solution
Figure 1.2 illustrates a scenario including the dual-band GX
MIMO remote supporting the WCS and 2.5 GHz TDD bands and
two quad-band GX remote units each supporting ESMR/CELL,
PCS, 700 LTE, and EAWS deployed with the Corning
network evolution (ONE
The MIMO1 and MIMO2 RF signals, received from the BTS, are
conditioned by the headend unit (HEU), ensuring a constant RF
level. The conditioned MIMO1 and MIMO2 signals are then
transferred via the interface box* (IFB) and routed through the
optical central hub (OCH)
an integrated IF clock module (pilot), installed in the IFB enables
transmitting the converged wideband RF/IF and pilot signals
through the interface box to the OCH. The OCH converts the RF
signal to an optical signal for transport over low-loss fiber
cabling to/from multiple GX remotes, where they are converted
to high-level RF signals. The GX includes an internal combiner
so that both WCS and 2.5 GHz TDD bands services are
transmitted via a single output port (SISO) or two for MIMO.
An external low-loss combiner is used to combine the
dual-band GX with the quad-band GX to support six bands
services on a single output port.

single-source, centralized common headend controls of all
installed elements.
*Each interface box supports connections to up to two HEUs or integrated
headend units (IHUs) via ERFCv2 cables.
†RF connections between the interface box and the OCH are performed using
QMA-to-QMA cables (accessory kit part number: AK-RIU4-OCH-CABLES).

• The dual-band GX with WCS and 2.5 GHz TDD support is
supported by SC-450 v7.6 and higher and ONE
v3.3 and higher.

1.2.2 GX Interface Box (IFB) to ONE
Headend
The IFB is a combiner/splitter interface box which supports
connections to two HEUs, combines the RF services and routes
them through optical central hub (OCH) modules towards the
GX remotes.
The IFB includes an integrated intermediate frequency (IF) clock
module for generating a 2970 MHz pilot signal required for
synchronizing the TDD band.
The IFB enables deploying a GX high-power WCS/2.5 GHz TDD
(dual-band) remote alongside a GX quad-band remote where it
supports connections to two OCH optical modules per service
group (i.e., three OCH-8 or six OCH-4 units).
Block Diagram of IFB System Description | Figure 1.3
1.2.3 GX Deployed with MA1K/MA2K
Platform
Figure 1.4 illustrates a GX dual-band remote MIMO scenario
deployed with an MA1000/2000 headend alongside two GX
quad-band remotes providing MIMO coverage for the
CELL/ESMR, PCS, EAWS, and 700 LTE bands..
Note: GX quad-band models GX-E17E85P19L70-40-AC and
GX-E17E85P19L70-40-DC do not support coexistence with other GX
models. The quad-band services must be routed through separate
RF paths (i.e., different RIU-12 sector and optical module).
The MIMO1 and MIMO2 services are conditioned via two
independent sectors in the RIU-12 units, ensuring a constant RF
level for each MIMO stream. The conditioned MIMO1 and
MIMO2 signals are routed through separate optical modules in
the OCH. Each optical module converts the RF signal to an
optical signal for transport over low-loss fiber cabling to/from
connected GX remote, where they are converted to high-level
RF signals.
The GX dual-band remote includes an internal combiner so that
both WCS and 2.5 GHz TDD bands services are transmitted via a
single output port (SISO) or two for MIMO. In addition, an
external low-loss combiner is used to combine the dual-band
GX with the quad-band GX to support six bands services on a
single output port.

Corning Optical Communications User Manual | CMA-601-AEN | Page 11
1.3 System Monitoring and
Management
The GX dual-band remote unit is centrally managed via the
SC-450 (v7.5 and higher) in MA1K/MA2K solutions and via the
headend control module (HCM v3.2 and higher) when deployed
with Corning® optical network evolution (ONE™) solutions*.
*In Corning optical network evolution (ONE) solution deployments, the SC-450 is
also required for the GX management.
The GX remote management connection is performed via the
optical central hub (OCH) to which it is physically connected.
The OCH is connected directly to the SC-450 controller so that a
single management connection enables management and
monitoring capabilities for the GX and host OCH

screens in the SC-450 and HCM management web GUI
applications.
