1.2.1 SISO Scenario
GX Architecture Diagram
Figure 1-2
Figure 1-2 illustrates a scenario including one GX Tri-Band and one GX Tri-Band remote unit remote. Note that all site
elements are managed and controlled via a single SC-450 Controller* that enables local and remote management, and
provides single-source, centralized „common headend‟ controls of all installed elements.
For the GX path, at the Headend, the BTS or BDA signal is conditioned by the RIU, ensuring a constant RF level. The
conditioned RF electrical signal is then converted by the Optical Central Unit (OCH) to an optical signal for transport to/from
multiple GX remotes, over low-loss fiber cabling.
Note: GX Tri-Band is supported by SC-450 Controller v5.4 and higher.
*In installations including a GX supporting the CELL band and a GX supporting the Sprint800 band, the CELL and Sprint service signals must be conditioned
via two independent sectors in the RIU-12 (i.e. Sector A and Sector B in Figure 2) and routed through dedicated optical modules in the OCH. Note the
following:
• Installations with RIU-4 units require a dedicated RIU-4 per GX model
• Either an OCH-4 unit per GX or an OCH-8 (supporting two separate optical modules) is used
• **External Combiner Insertion Loss of 1.0 dB

1.2.3 Signal Path
GX Functional Block Diagram
Figure 1-4
On the DL, combined RF signals (from up to four supported services) from the Radio Interface Unit (RIU) are converted into
optical signals by the Optical Control Hub (OCH). The optical signals are then transmitted to the GX at the remote site via
optical fiber. The signals are filtered and amplified at the GX and transmitted through the service specific output ports to the
broadband antennas.
On the UL, GX converts the RF signals transmitted from the service antennas into optical signals. The signals are transmitted
via optical fiber to the OCH-GX which then converts the optical signals back to RF signals.
The optical DL and UL signal are transmitted in a single optical fiber based on the WDM technology.

1.3 System Monitoring and Management
Example of GX Tri-Band Configuration Tab
Figure 1-5
The GX-Tri Remote Unit is centrally managed via the MobileAccess SC-450 Controller.
Note: The GX Tri-Band solution is supported by SC-450 v5.4 and higher.
GX-Tri is not connected directly to the controller; it is connected to the OCH-GX element (that is connected to the controller).
Thus, the controller monitors views and manages the GX-Trivia the OCH-GX, hosting the GX unit.

Page 21
2 Installation Guidelines
This chapter provides the general guidelines for installing the GX Tri-band Remote Unit and includes information such as site
considerations and installation requirements.
2.1 Site Considerations
The distance between the GX Tri-Band service antenna and the coverage area should correspond to LOS (Line of Sight)
requirements for maximum coverage area.
The maximum fiber path loss is 6dB.
The system delay of the optical system must be taken into consideration when there are neighboring BTS sites
overlapping in coverage.
In the MIMO scenario, two remote units shall use a pair of optic fiber for each one. This ensures to avoid the system
delay difference between two units.
2.1.1 Installation Location
Mounting surface shall be capable of supporting the weight of the equipment.
In order to avoid electromagnetic interference, a proper mounting location must be selected to minimize interference from
electromagnetic sources such as large electrical equipment.
2.1.2 Environmental
Humidity has an adverse effect on the reliability of the equipment. It is recommended to install the equipment in locations
having stable temperature and unrestricted air-flow.
The installation location for the system should be well ventilated. The equipment has been designed to operate at the
temperature range and humidity level as stated in the product specifications at temperatures ranging from -40~70oC and a
relative humidity of max. 85%.
2.1.3 Powering
The power supply unit provides power to all modules within the equipment. Depending on the product variant, it is
recommended that the PSU operates on a dedicated AC circuit breaker or fused circuit.
2.1.4 Grounding Requirement
Verify that the equipment has been well grounded. This includes GX Tri-Band unit, external combiner, antennas and all
cables connected to the system. Ensure lightning protection for the antennas is properly grounded.
2.1.5 Cable Routing
Ensure all cables, e.g. power cable, feeder cable, optic fiber, commissioning cable, connecting are properly routed (use driploops) and secured so that they are not damaged.
2.1.6 Manual Handling
During transportation and installation, take necessary handling precautions to avoid potential physical injury to the installation
personnel and the equipment.
Installation Guidelines
P/N 709C010702
Page 22
2.2 Installation Requirements
Working space available for installation and maintenance for each mounting arrangement. Ensure unrestricted airflow.
Ensure grounding connector is within reach of the ground wire.
Ensure a power source is within reach of the power cord and the power source has sufficient capacity.
Where appropriate, ensure unused RF connectors are terminated.
Do not locate the equipment near large transformers or motors that may cause electromagnetic interference.
Reduce signal loss in feeder cable by minimizing the length and number of RF connections.
Ensure the equipment will be operated within the stated environment (refer to datasheet).
Where appropriate, confirm available of suitably terminated grade of RF and optical fiber.
Observe handling of all cables to prevent damage.

Please also refer to the Laser Safety section in the document Preface.
Fiber optic cables require proper handling. Do not stretch, puncture, or crush the fiber cable(s) with staples, heavy
equipment, doors, etc.
Always maintain the minimum bending radius specified by the cable manufacturer. The minimum bend radius is usually
ten times the cable's outer diameter. In the case of single optical fiber that is not in a cable, the minimum bending radius
to be observed is 30mm.
WDM, Wave Division Multiplexing, units require SMF
Use minimum splicing/connectors to achieve minimum losses on the fibers.
Use precaution while installing, bending, or connecting fiber optic cables.
Use an optical power meter and OTDR for checking the fiber optic cables.
Make sure the environment is clean while connecting/splicing fiber optic cables.
All fiber optic connections should be cleaned prior to attaching to termination points using a dry cleaning device (i.e.
Cletop or equivalent).
Fiber connector protective caps should be installed on all non-terminated fibers and removed just before they are
terminated.
Check the fiber optic connections.
