1 Introduction
Corning CORE S ystem MA2000 series provides enterprise level indoor cover a ge, of a wide r ang e of m ulti -op erator wire less
services over a single broadba nd infrastructure. Front-end wireless RF services are routed, over optic fibers, to MA2000
series hubs that are securely located in the telecommunication closets at each remote location. These modular service
aggregation platforms precisely combine multiple wireless service signals for simultaneous distribution over a common
broadband infrastructure.
Two remote service hub models are available:
•
MA2000-Lite – supports two remote units that are connected externally, where MA1200 Add-Ons and MA85 0/M A86 0
units can be integrated with the remote units.
•
MA2000 Cabinet (MRC) – internally houses a total of five remote units and MA1200 add-on units with which
MA850/MA860 can be integrated as an external assembly.
MA2000-Lite (left side) and MA2000 Cabinet (right side)

1.1 Features and Capabilities
• Multi-service platform that accommodates virtually any combination of wireless voice and data services eliminating the
need for separate overlay networks
• Scalable and future-safe – services can be added and removed without affecting existing operators or end-users
• MA2000-Lite components can be migrated to MA2000 MRC for increased capacity
• All active components are located in the communication closet/room
• Carrier class operation – MA2000 advanced signal handling ensures optimal performance for all services within a multi-
operator deployment
• Local and remote end-to-end monitoring and control through interface to SC-450 controller
• Conditioning and monitoring of input RF signals at the head-end through interface to MA-RIU

1.2 MA2000 System Architecture
The MA2000 solution com prises bot h headend and rem ote end e quipment providing an end-to-end comprehensi ve system
solution.
Note: Third-party equipment is sold separately (i.e. cabling, antennas).
At the head-end C orning CORE System elements provide interface t o the wireless service provider’s network , where the
signals can be conditioned through an active interface and transported over optic fiber to the remote end.
At the remote end, the o ptical signal is reconverted t o RF, amplified, filtered an d distributed over t he broadband antenna
infrastructure.
For end-to-end control, controllers ins talled at the hea d-end provid e direct interf ace to the MA elem ents and thr ough them ,
control over the remote end elements.
MA2000 System Architecture
Figure 1-2 shows a basic block diagram of the system operation. On the downlink, services from the BTS/BDA are
transferred via interfac e to the Base Un its (BUs ). T he interfac e, which m a y be passive (i.e. Interf ace Box ) or act ive (RIU) , is
used to attenuate the RF signals to the required levels, converge them and distribute them to the BUs. The BUs
wideband – they are not service specific.
At the BUs, the RF signals are c onverted to optical signals and transmitted over the opt ic fiber to (service-specific) RUs at
the remote locations. At the r emote locations, the RUs suppor ted by the hub (MRC or Lite) reconvert th e optical signal to
RF. The hub elements converg e the voice services together with 802.11 a/b/g data services (if MA850/M A860 units are
installed) and distribute them over the coax antenna infrastructure. The MA SC-450 (in installations with remote
management) provides monitoring and control of all active system elements.

1.2.1 Headend Equipment
At the headend Corning CO RE System elements provide interface to t he wireless service provider’s network, where the
signals can be conditioned through an active interface and transported over optic fiber to the remote end.
Radio Interface Unit (RIU): The RIU conditions the RF Downlink (DL) signals from an operator’s signal source (BTS:
•
base-transceiver stations or BDA: bi-directional amplifiers) located inside the building. The RIU then custom tunes
incoming signals in order to ensure a constant level of RF before signals are passed to/from the Base Unit (BU). RF
Uplink (UL) signals from subscribers’ phones are received from the BU and transported back to the operator’s signal
source (BTS or BDA) and to the operator’s macro network outdoors.
•
Base Unit (BU): The BU converts RF Downlink (DL) signals received from the RIU into an optical signal. This optical
signal is then transported over single or multi-mode fiber optic cabling (SMF/MMF) to/from the MA2000 TSX units,
which are housed inside of IDF/Telc o/IT closets at the remote-end locations, for distribution throughout the facility.
Uplink (UL) signals from subscribers’ phones are received from the antennas and sent back to the TSX units through
the fiber connection to the head-end, where they are converted back from RF optical to RF electrical before being
passed on to the RIU.
•
System Controller (SC-450): The system controller enables centralized remote management and control of all Corning
CORE System MA2000 elements.
1.2.2 Remote-End Equipment
The remote end elem ents interface to the DAS infrastructure. At the r emote end, the optical signal is reconver ted to RF,
amplified, filtered and distributed over the broadband antenna infrastructure.
Remote Units (RUs) – Pre-configured service specific modules that support up to two voice services and perform the
•
optic to RF conversion on signals received from the BU at the remote locations. Signals are automatically filtered and
amplified for transport over broadband coax cable to a passive antenna. Uplink (UL) signals from the antennas are then
converted to optical signals before being transmitted back to the BU.
• MA1200 Add-On – Service specific module that provides support for an additional high band voice service. The AO is a
single service module coupled with an RHU to deliver an additional, third service at a lower incremental cost. The AO
receives RF signal from the RHU and amplifies it for transport across the broadband coax.

1.3 Application Examples
Figure 1-3 shows an example of an MA2000 Cabinet based solution. Five services from two different operators are
distributed, where services from Operator A conflict with those from Operator B.
The converted optical sign a l is r outed f r om the BUs dir ec tl y to the corresponding R Us in each Ca bin et o ver o ptic f iber . Each
BU supports connections to 8 RHUs. Additional BUs are required for connection to more RUs.
Services 1 and 2 are distri buted through one of the RHUs supported in each Cabi net. Services 3, 4 and 5 are distributed
through the second RU and the MA1200 unit connected to that RU.
MA850 and MA860 converge 802.11a/b/g data services with the voice services to be distributed through a common
infrastructure of coax and wideband antennas.

Figure 1-3
Figure 1-4 shows an exam ple of an MA2000-Lite based solution. Four services from two different operators are distributed.
The converted optical signal is routed from the BUs directly to the corresponding RUs over optic fiber.
Services 1 and 2 are distributed through one of the RUs supported by MA2000-Lite. Services 3 and 4 are distributed
through the second RU. The combiner and filter provides interface to the antennas.

2 MA2000 System Elements
This chapter provides a full, detailed description of each of the system elements and their individual connections. The
element descriptions are organized according to the following sections:
• Enclosures types – MRC (MA2000 Remote Cab in et) and Lit e
• Remote Location Elements:
• MA2000 Remote Units (RUs)
• MA1200 Add-on
• Base Unit
Note: The following elem ents are fully described in their corresponding user guides: MA RIU, MA 850 /MA860, SC-450
Controller, MCT/NMS Management Application (described in MA410/MA430 Installation and Configuration Guide).
2.1 Enclosure Types
This section describes both types of enclosures (MRC/Lite) and their external connections.
2.1.1 MA2000 MRC
MA2000 MRC Closed Cabinet View
MA2000 Cabinet supports the following functions:
• Compactly houses up to five MA2000 RHU and MA1200 modules and the required filters
Figure 2-1
Note: The number of modules that can be housed depends on the models, required filtering, etc.
• MA850/MA860 can be connected externally
• Converges all voice services and provides a single interface to the antennas through external connections
• Wall mounted or rack mounted
MA2000 System Elements P/N 709C006503 Page 17
• Supplied in two models with differing power supply:
• Integrated power supply – fed from an external AC power source. The MA2000 RHU an MA1200 Add-on modules
are internally connected to the power supply. This model includes a battery connection as well.
• External power supplies – power is routed to external connectors from which power is routed internally to each
MA2000 RHU and MA1200 Add-On module
