1.1 About MobileAccess™ 1000

MobileAccess™ 1000 converged wireless networks solutio n provides scalable in-building
coverage for multiple wireless data and voice services through a single c oax and broadband
antenna infrastructure.

The solution is based on combining a number of services, both voice and data, at each
covered location and distributing them through a common antenna infrastructure.

Figure 1-1. MA 1000 System Overview

Voice services are transmitted between the BTS side and the locations via optic fiber after
the appropriate conversion from RF to optic, and reconverted to RF at each end. The MA
1000 system provides entry level solutions that can be upgraded

MA 1000 Installation and C o nfiguration Guide

1.2 System Architecture

The MA 1000 solution is based on the followi ng main elements:

• MA Base Units (BUs) – The BUs perform RF to optic conversion on the BTS side.

• MA Remote Hub Units (RHUs) 1000 – The MA 1000 performs the RF to optic

signal conversion at the antenna side for up to two services corresponding to the
RHU model. A third service can be added by connecting an add-on remote hub unit
(MA 1200) to the RHU 1000.

• MA 850 – The MA 850 is a wireless LAN module that provides secure and
centralized connections for 802.11a/b/g Access Points and distributes the wireless
services over the same coax and broadband infrastructure as the voice services.

All services are combined and distributed through the same antenna broadband
infrastructure.

To provide optimum coverage at all times and monitoring and control of all system elements
from a central location MA provides the following devices:

• MA Radio Interface Units (RIUs) – The RIUs provide interfaces for up to three
BTS/BDA signals, and automatically adjusts the output signal in respose to input
signal level in order to provide optimal coverage.

• MA 410/430 controllers – The controllers enable remote monitoring of the
system elements from a

single location

via advanced intuitive GUI.

1.3 Configuration Options

The MobileAccess™ 1000/1200 system includes three basic configuration options:

A) Basic configuration

The Base Unit drives a single or dual band, MobileAccess™ 1000 RHU. The dual band
RHU consists of a low band service (cellular 800, iDEN, Paging, or GSM 900) and a high
band service (PCS 1900 or DCS 1800).
