1.5. Precautions
1.5.1. Personal Safety
The ModuLite™ system uses an optical laser for transmitting voice and data. The laser unit has
the following output characteristics:
• Optical output power (mW): ≤3.0
• Wavelength (nM): 1310 ± 10
! Warning
APPLYING POWER TO THE MODULAR BASE UNIT AND MODULAR REMOTE
CABINET WILL CREATE A LASER ENERGY SOURCE OPERATING IN CLASS I AS
DEFINED BY IEC 60825-1, 21 CFR 1040.10 AND 1040.11 EXCEPT FOR DEVIATIONS
PURSUANT TO LASER NOTICE NO. 50 (JULY 26, 2001). USE EITHER AN INFRARED
VIEWER, OPTICAL POWER METER OR FLUORESCENT SCREEN FOR OPTICAL
OUTPUT VERIFICATION.
! Warning
THE USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE PROCEDURES
OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS
RADIATION EXPOSURE.
! Warning
COMPLIANCE WITH RF SAFETY REQUIREMENTS:
THE MODULITE™ HAS NO INHERENT SIGNIFICANT RF RADIATION.
THE RF LEVEL ON THE DOWNLINK IS VERY LOW AT THE MODULAR REMOTE
CABINET DOWNLINK PORTS. THEREFORE, THERE IS NO DANGEROUS RF
RADIATION WHEN THE ANTENNA IS NOT CONNECTED.
THE DESIGN OF THE ANTENNA INSTALLATION NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN
SUCH A WAY SO AS TO ENSURE RF RADIATION SAFETY LEVELS AND NONENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION DURING OPERATION.

1.5.2. Equipment Safety
To avoid damaging your product, please observe the following:
1. Always keep the optical connector covered. Use the fiber optic cable or a protective cover. Do
not allow any dirt and/or foreign material to get on the optical connector bulkheads.
2. The optical fiber jumper cable bend radius is 3 cm. Smaller radii can cause excessive optical
loss and/or fiber breakage.

ModuLite™ Installation Guide INTRODUCTION TO THE MODULITE™
2. Introduction to the ModuLite™
Infrastructure for multiple services is currently provided through two different methods. The first
method is a parallel infrastructure based on a fiber or hybrid fiber-copper solution. In this system,
even though all operators provide mutual services with a potential for sharing, a complete
infrastructure is deployed for every operator. Multiple antennas need to be installed in every
radiation zone. Isolation between antennas is hard to control, and as a result, cross antenna
interference may cause degraded performance.
The second available solution is based on coax. Coax has different attenuation levels for
different frequencies. This leads to design constraints because the coax needs to match the
highest frequencies serviced and their respective attenuation levels. This requirement leads to
higher costs resulting from the larger diameter coax and from a more labor-intensive installation.
Foxcom Wireless’s ModuLite
TM
is a new approach. The ModuLite™ is a high-performance, cost
effective and modular In-Building system designed for multiple wireless services. It is
technically superior to other available infrastructures, and provides WSP’s and building
operators with an advanced platform for expansion and upgradability.
Figure 1: ModuLite™ System
The ModuLite™ has unique advantages:
• Low attenuation: Singlemode fiber optic cables have virtually no attenuation (0.38dB/Km),
relieving the need to install amplifiers or any other signal enhancing in-line devices. This factor
alone greatly reduces the engineering and installation costs.

ModuLite Installation Guide INTRODUCTION TO THE MODULITE™
• Low noise: High bandwidth signals can be set over singlemode fibers without encountering
noise problems, and transmitted over great distances.
• Multi Services: Same infrastructure is used either supporting single service or multiple
services, due to the pseudo infinite bandwidth of singlemode fiber optic cable.
2.1. Applications
The ModuLite™ addresses both public and private markets in order to provide RF distribution
solutions for various structure types:
• Typical Public Market
o Malls
o Airports
o
Conventions Centers
o
Hospitals
• Typical Private Market
o Office Buildings
o Business Centers
o Campus
Three types of applications are very common for both markets:
• High Rise Buildings
• Horizontal Structures
• Campus type
Foxcom Wireless’ ModuLite™ addresses these application types with a powerful answer, while
still flexible and future expandable. There are no limitations for building height or structure
spread.

System Description
MRC
MBU
The MBU converts RF signals from the RF source (Base Stations/off- air repeater) to an optical signal
using direct modulation technology. Each BU module can support two to four services, depending on
the application. The MBU is connected via a single mode fiber optic cable to the MRC.
The MRC is comprised of modular remote units, each supporting two to four services, yet each
modular remote unit has sub RF channels in order to maximize the performance of each specific
service in terms of IMD suppression and dynamic range. Each MRC can contain four modular remote
units, hence at least eight services. The RF modules can be added as required to support the required
services. The MRC converts the optical signal to RF, performs filtering and enhanced signaling via its
Remote Interface Module, and connects to a single antenna via a single coax cable.
The ModuLite’s TM main features are as follows:
· Single cabling and antenna system for all services
o enables fast deployment for WSP’s of new services
o reduces tenant disruption
o simplifies maintenance
The ModuLiteTM is a new system for the provision of In-Building multiple wireless
services. Its high performance yet cost effective structure efficiently enables the addition
of new wireless services.
The ModuLiteTM is a hybrid fiber coax modular solution designed to serve multiple
wireless services using a single common cabling infrastructure. The cabling infrastructure
includes a fiber optic cable, a single coax cable, and a single antenna.
The ModuLiteTM has two main modules, the MBU (Modular Base Unit) and the MRC
(Modular Remote Cabinet). Both components are designed such that they can be located
in easily accessible area, such as the communication room, the communication closet, or
in the riser.

• Upgradeable to include more than eight services per Modular Remote Cabinet (MRC),
including 3G technologies
• Eliminates RF interferences occurring in parallel infrastructures due to cross antenna
coupling
• Minimal input power to ModuLite™ (~0dBm) - No need for high power BTS/RBS, less
expenses for the operators.
• MCU-Alarm Interface with open collector and dry contact alarms – the alarm loopback is
activated when there is a broken or faulty optical fiber or no power in system.
• Low attenuation: Singlemode fiber optic cables have virtually no attenuation (0.38dB/Km),
relieving the need to install amplifiers or any other signal enhancing in-line devices. This
factor alone greatly reduces the engineering.
