Preface

Safety

WARNING! To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, antennas used for this product
must be fixed mounted on indoor permanent structures, providing a separation distance of at least
20 cm from all persons during normal operation.

1. Each individual antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a
minimum separation distance of 20 cm or more from all persons and must not be
co-located with any other antenna for meeting RF exposure requirements.

2. 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:

• MobileAccess™ 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.

IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn ttoo tthhee M
SSyysstteem

MobileAccess™-2000 series provides enterprise level indoor coverage, of a wide range of
multi-operator wireless services over a single broadband infrastructure. Front-end wireless RF
services are routed, over optic fibers, to MA 2000 series hubs that are securely located in remote
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:

• MA-2000 Lite – supports two remote units that are connected externally, where MA 1200
add-ons and MA 850/860 units can be integrated with the remote units.

• MA-2000 Cabinet (MRC) – internally houses a total of five remote units and MA 1200
add-on units with which MA 850/860 can be integrated as an external assembly.

Introduction to the MA 2000 System System Architecture

The supported units are:

• Remote Units (RUs) – Service specific modules that support up to two voice services and
perform the optic to RF conversion, filtering and amplification at the remote locations.

• MA 1200 Add On – Service specific module that provides support for an additional high
band voice service.

• MA 850/860 – Module that supports data services

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

• MA-2000 Lite components can be migrated to MA-2000 MRC for increased capacity

• All active components are located in the communication closet/room

• Carrier class operation – MA 2000 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 MA 410/430
controllers

• Conditioning and monitoring of input RF signals at the head-end through interface to MA-RIU

NOTE: MobileAccess is in the process of transition to 2000M products that will support both singlemode
fiber and multimode fiber. The new Base Unit is designated by WBM (Wide Band M), and the new RHUs will
be indicated by 2000M RHUs,

The new products have the same packaging and performance and are fully

3.3.2 for details on multimode fiber use.

1.1 System Architecture

At the head-end Mobile Access elements provide interface to 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 optical signal is reconverted to RF, amplified, filtered and distributed over
the broadband antenna infrastructure.

MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 2

Introduction to the MA 2000 System System Architecture

For end-to-end control, controllers installed at the head-end provide direct interface to the MA
elements and through them, control over the remote end elements.

Figure 1-2. 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 interface to the Base Units (BUs). The interface, which may be
passive (i.e. Interface Box) or active (RIU), is used to attenuate the RF signals to the required
levels, converge them and distribute them to the BUs.

service specific.

The BUs are wideband – they are not

At the BUs, the RF signals are converted to optical signals and transmitted over the optic fiber to
(service-specific) RUs at the remote locations. At the remote locations, the RUs supported by the
hub reconvert the optical signal to RF. The hub elements converge the voice services together
with 802.11 a/b/g data services (if MA 850/860 units are installed) and distribute them over the
coax antenna infrastructure. MA 410/430 (in installations with remote management) provides
monitoring and control of all active system elements.

MA 2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 3

Introduction to the MA 2000 System Application Examples

1.2 Application Examples

Figure 1-3 shows an example of an MA 2000 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 signal is routed from the BUs directly to the corresponding RUs in each
Cabinet over optic fiber. Each BU supports connections to 8 RUs. Additional BUs are required for
connection to more RUs.

Services 1 and 2 are distributed through one of the RUs supported in each Cabinet. Services 3, 4
and 5 are distributed through the second RU and the MA 1200 unit connected to that RU.

MA 850/860 converges 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. Example of MA 2000 Cabinet Architecture

Introduction to the MA 2000 System Application Examples

Figure 1-4 shows an example of an MA 2000 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 MA 2000 Lite. Services 3
and 4 are distributed through the second RU. The combiner and filter provides interface to the
antennas.
