Warnings and Admonishments
There may be situations, particularly for workplace environments near high-powered RF sources, where recommended limits
for safe exposure of human beings to RF energy could be exceeded. In such cases, restrictive measures or actions may be
necessary to ensure the safe use of RF energy.
The equipment has been designed and constructed to prevent, as far as reasonably, practicable danger. Any work activity on
or near equipment involving installation, operation or maintenance must be, as far as reasonably, free from danger.
Where there is a risk of damage to electrical systems involving adverse weather, extreme temperatures, wet, corrosive or
dirty conditions, flammable or explosive atmospheres, the system must be suitably installed to prevent danger.
Equipment provided for the purpose of protecting individuals from electrical risk must be suitable for the purpose and properly
maintained and used. This covers a range of activities including lifting, lowering, pushing, pulling, carrying, moving, holding or
restraining an object, animal or person from the equipment. It also covers activities that require the use of force or effort, such
as pulling a lever, or operating power tools.
Where some of the abovementioned activities are required, the equipment must be handled with care to avoid being
damaged.
Observe standard precautions for handling ESD-sensitive devices. Assume that all solid-state electronic devices are ESDsensitive. Ensure the use of a grounded wrist strap or equivalent while working with ESD-sensitive devices. Transport, store,
and handle ESD-sensitive devices in static-safe environments.
RF Safety
WARNING! To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, each individual antenna used for this transmitter
must be installed to provide a separation distance greater than 170 cm or more from all persons during normal operation and
must not be co-located with any other antenna for meeting RF exposure requirements.
The design of the antenna installation needs to be implemented in such a way so as to ensure RF radiation safety levels and
non-environmental pollution during operation.
WARNING! Antenna gain should not exceed 12.5 dBi.
WARNING! The design of the antenna installation needs to be implemented in such a way so as to ensure RF radiation
safety levels and non-environmental pollution during operation.
Compliance with RF safety requirements:
• Corning products have no inherent significant RF radiation.
• The RF level on the downlink is very low at the downlink ports. Therefore, there is no dangerous RF radiation when the
antenna is not connected.
Power requirements for DC Inputs
WARNING! Only use a special DC supply cable with four connectors
WARNING! Always keep DC IN connectors connected during the product operation
WARNING! Disconnect all power from the equipment by means of an external circuit breaker before connecting or
disconnecting the DC IN connectors.

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 multi-service platform designed to complement the MA1000 and MA2000 while providing complete
RF open space coverage for large-scale public venues such as campuses, stadiums, convention centers, hotels, airports
and train stations. The solution can be
systems, sharing a common headend and element management system (SC-450).
HX supports multiple wireless technologies and operator services over a single broadband infrastructure. Using low-loss
fiber optic cabling, remote units can cover distances of up to 2 km from the BTS signal sources at the headend.
Alongside other HX products (e.g. HX WCS, HX 2500 MHz TDD) and 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 remote can be combined with an MA2000 lower power remote or HX remote supporting the HX 800
MHz ESMR band to create an HX Neutral Host Solution. The NH solution addresses the need for complete multiservice
coverage while meeting RSSI requirements for different cellular technologies.
deployed in new sites or alongside existing lower power MA1000 and MA2000
Note: Refer to the HX Neutral Host Solution Application Note for details on combining HX Quad-Band solution with Sprint’s
800 MHz Band (CMA-238-AEN).

•Multi-Service Platform: Accommodates GSM, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, EDGE, EV-DO, AWS3, and more. Provides MIMO
configuration for LTE700, AWS3, and UMTS band.
•
Cost-Effective High Power: Optimizes and reduces the number of antennas required to cover open areas by offering up
to 33 dBm (2 W) composite power per frequency band.
Indoor Models: Support either SISO or MIMO (excluding HX-5 units) service in a single compact enclosure.
•
•
Outdoor Models: Outdoor enclosures are compliant to NEBS OSP Class 4 standards.
•
Operator-Grade Operation: Advanced signal handling and management ensures carrier-grade performance in multioperator deployments.
Design and Deployment Flexibility: Remote unit supports SM fiber connections, and is available in AC or DC power
•
supply options. Antenna splitting schemes are possible due to the higher power output capability.
•
Backwards Compatible: Connects to an existing MA1000/MA2000 deployment and shares a common headend and
element management system (EMS) in a single deployment.

1.2 System Architecture
HX mid-power remote unit compliments the MA1000 or MA2000 system, providing a complete solution consisting of HX
remote units at the remote locations and headend elements that are shared with any other MA1000 or MA2000 system
remotes that are either installed or being installed at the site. HX4/HX5 units can be optically daisy chained to other HX
units supporting different bands (e.g. WCS and 2500 MHz TDD) for further band coverage needs.
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) to an optical signal to transport over singlemode fiber to the HX remote units, which are located at the remote locations. In the uplink, the process is reversed.
The system controller (SC-450) enables local and remote management, as well as controls all MA1000, MA2000 and HX
elements from a single, centralized location.
The HX remote unit consists of a compact enclosure that houses the RF module, power elements and the required
interfaces. The RF module supports various configurations of three (International 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.

1.2.1 HX Neutral Host Solution
Corning HX Neutral Host solution addresses the need for a high-output multi-operator distributed antenna solution (DAS)
that provides complete multiservice coverage and meets RSSI requirements for different cellular technologies. The HX
neutral host solution provides a complete suite of solutions to combine 850 CELL, 1900 PCS, 700 LTE and 2100 AWS
services of the HX product with 800 MHz ESMR band.
HX neutral host extends the multiband support of the HX to 800 MHz ESMR band by providing solutions to combine the
corresponding Corning MA2K system, supporting the 800 MHz ESMR band or HX supporting the 800 MHz ESMR band to
create the HX NH solution.
Note: The 800 MHz ESMR band is a low frequency band so that it also meets the RSSI requirements despite lower output
power.

1.3 Application Topologies
HX can be installed in various site topologies. The setup procedure varies accordingly:
• High-power coverage via a single antenna - used for open area, stadium, parking lots, etc.
• RF signal is distributed over several antennas via splitters
• Special coverage requirements using directional antennas
Corning Optical Communications User Manual I CMA-066-AEN I Page 15
1.4 System Monitoring and Management
The HX Remote Unit is centrally managed via the SC-450 Controller. Note that HX is not connected directly to the
controller. It is connected to the optical converter (i.e. BU or OCH-HX), connected to the controller. Thus, the controller
monitors views and manages the HX via the optical converter module to which the HX is connected.
The following shows the Config(uration) tabs of the selected HX unit. Refer to the SC-450 Controller User Manual for
information on how to configure and manage the HX (Indoor/Outdoor) unit.
