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 involv ing adver se w eath er, ex tr eme 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 ESD-sensitive. 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 115 cm or more from all persons during
normal operation and must not be co-located with any other antenna for meeting RF exposure requirements.
WARNING! Antenna gain should not exceed 12.5 dBi.
WARNING! Each individual antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance
greater than 115 cm or more from all persons and must not be co-located with any other antenna for meeting RF
exposure requirements.
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 operatio n.
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 connector
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.
WARNING! UL certified power supply.
Laser Safety

Laser Safety
Fiber optic ports of the MobileAccessHX system emit invisible laser radiation at the 1310/1550 nm wavelength
window.
The laser apertures /outputs are the green SC/APC Bulkhead adapters located on the front panel of the
equipment.
The product is Class 1/Hazard level 1
External optical power is less than 10 mW, Internal optical power is less than 500 mW.
To avoid eye injury never look directly into the optical ports, patchcords or optical cables. Do not stare into beam
or view directly with optical instruments. Always assume that optical outputs are on.
Only technicians familiar with fiber optic safety practices and procedures should perform optical fiber connections
and disconnections of MobileAccessHX devices and the associated cables.
MobileAccessHX has been tested and certified as a Class 1 Laser product to IEC/EN 60825-1 (2007). It also
meets the requirements for a Hazard Level 1 laser product to IEC/EN 60825-2: 2004 to the same degree.
MobileAccessHX complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice NO.
50 (2007).
Care of Fiber Optic Connectors
Do not remove the protective covers on the fiber optic connectors until a connection is ready to be made. Do not
leave connectors uncovered when not connected.
The tip of the fiber optic connector should not come into contact with any object or dust.

• Introduction
MobileAccessHX WCS is a mid-power, remote solution designed t o be int egrat ed into ex istin g Mobi leAcc ess1000
(MA1000) and MobileAcce ss2000 (MA2000) D istributed Antenna S ystems (DAS) alread y deployed in the fi eld. It
is a fiber fed, compact unit whic h provides support f or the WCS 2300 MHz band and is designed to com plement
the MA1000/MA2000 and other MobileAccessHX flavors while enhancing RF open space coverage for largescale public venues such as campuses, stadiums, convention centers, hotels, airports and train stations.
Using low-loss fiber optic cabling, remote units can cover distances of up to 12.75 mi (2 km) from the BTS signal
sources at the headend. HX WCS requires minimum addition of hardware to the headend (WCS BTSC) and
utilizes existing fiber and antenna overlay. HX WCS MIMO takes full advantage of MIMO technology by using
spatial multiplexing to deliver higher spectral efficiency and preventing the degradation of quality while
significantly increasing throughput on the same spectrum.

1.1 Key Features and Capabilities
• Service Platform: Accommodates LTE and provides SISO/MIMO configuration for WCS 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.
• Scalability: Supports either SISO or MIMO service in a single compact enclosure.
• Operator-Grade Operation: Advanced signal handling and management ensures operator-grade
performance in multi-operator deployments.
• Design and Deployment Flexibility: Antenna splitting schemes are possible due to the higher power output
capability.
• Compatibility: Connects existing MobileAccess1000, MobileAccess2000 and MobileAccessHX remote units
to allow common antenna overlay; Shares a common headend and EMS in a single deplo yment .
• Monitoring and Web Management: All status LEDs are located on front panel; Web management via the
SC-450 controller (v7.2 and higher)

1.2 System Architecture
MobileAccessHX WCS provides a complete solut ion consisting of HX remote un it(s) at the r emote locations and
headend elements.
In the downlink, at t he headend , the BT S or BDA sign al is condit ioned by the RIU, ensuring a c onstant RF level.
The conditioned signa l is then converted by the Base Unit (BU) to an opt ical signal for transport over si ngle or
multi-mode fiber to the HX remote unit, located at the remote location. In the uplink, the process is reversed.
The HX Remote Un it (SIS O/MIMO ) cons ists of a c om pact e nclosure that houses the RF m odul e, po wer ele m ents
and the required interf ac es . T he R F m odule s upports t he WCS band. An interfac e dupl exin g por t is l oc ate d o n the
remote to allow additi ona l HX r em otes to be co nnec t e d s o tha t t he ser vices f rom all HX remotes c an be com bin ed
into one antenna port.
The System Controller (SC-450 v7.2) enables local and r emote management, as well as c ontrols all MA1000,
MA2000, and HX elements from a single, centralized location.

1.4 HX Unit Description
The HX WCS unit consists of the following main modules:
• RCU – Remote Control Unit; Includes status LEDs for each module and control ports
• HX-WCS MUX – Multiplexer [ANT. 1 MUX (right) for SISO; ANT. 2 MUX (left) for MIMO] includ ing int erf ac es
to RF antennas and to MA1000/MA2000 units; combines signal sources additional external RF signals (when
connected to HX unit and MA1000/MA2000 remote) while providing the proper filtering into a single antenna
port
• HX Module – [ANT. 1 (right) for SISO; ANT. 2 (left) for MIMO] Internal module that interfaces to the optical
converter unit (Base Unit) connects via an SMF pair and supports one service. The HX WCS module
provides the additional amplification on the DL signals routed from the BU towards the Multiplexer.
• Power Supply - DC power; Internal module
