1 Introduction
HX is a mid-power, remote solution for the MA1000 and MA2000 Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). It is a fiber fed,
compact and scalable m ulti-service platform designed to complement the MA1000 and MA 2000 while providing complete
RF open space coverag e for large-scale public venue s such as campuses, stadium s, convention centers, hotels, airpor ts
and train stations. The solution can be
systems, sharing a common headend and element management system (SC-450).
HX will support m ultiple wir eless tech nologies and ope rator serv ices over a singl e broadba nd infr astructure. Using lo w-loss
fiber optic cabling, remote units can cover distances of up to 2 km from the BTS signal sources at the headend.
Alongside MA1000 and MA2000 deployments, HX provides a comprehensive indoor and outdoor coverage solution for
varying site requirements, supporting everything from high-rise buildings and campus topologies to stadiums and airports.
In addition, the HX rem ote can be combined with an MA2000 lower power rem ote or HX remote supporting the HX 800
MHz ESMR band to cr eate an HX Neutral Host Solu tion. The NH solution addres ses the need for complete m ultiservice
coverage while meeting RSSI requirements for different cellular technologies.

1.1 System Architecture
HX mid-power r emote unit compliments the M A1000 or MA2000 system, provi ding a complete solution consis ting of HX
remote units at the rem ote locations and headend elem ents that are shared with any other MA1000 or MA2000 system
remotes that are either installed or being installed at the site.
In the downlink, at the headend, the BTS or BDA signal is conditioned by the RIU, ensuring a constant RF level. The
conditioned signal is then converted by an optical converter unit (i.e. Base Unit (BU)/Optical Central Hub (OCH) to an
optical signal to transport over single-mode or multimode fiber to the HX remote units, which are locat ed at the remote
locations. In the uplink, the process is reversed.
The System Controller ( SC-450) enab les local and re mote management, as wel l as controls al l MA1000, MA2000 a nd HX
elements from a single, centralized location.
The HX Remote Un it (indoor-SISO/ MIMO and outd oor-SISO models ) consists of a compact enclosure that houses t he RF
module, power elem ents and th e req uired in terf aces. T he RF m odule su pports various conf igurat ions of thr ee (Int ernat ional
models), four and five bands.
Note: HX-5 units are SISO only.
All mobile services are combined and distributed through a single antenna port over antennas installed at the remote
locations.

1.1.1 HX Neutral Host Solution
Corning HX Neutral Host addresses the need for a high-output multi-operator distributed antenna solution (DAS) that
provides complete m ultiservice coverage and meets RSSI requirements for diff erent cellular technologies. T he HX Neutral
Host solution provides a c om plete suite of solut ions to com bine 850 CELL, 1 900 PCS, 700 LT E and 2100 A W S services of
the HX product with 800 MHz ESMR band.
HX Neutral Host extends the multiband support of th e HX to 800 MHz ESMR band b y providing solutions to c ombine the
corresponding Corning MA2K system , supporting the 800 MHz ESMR band or HX s upporting the 800 M Hz ESMR band t o
