About this Manual

This guide provides the system specifications of the SpiderCloud® Radio Node 310 (SCRN-310). It
includes detailed hardware installation instructions, the boot sequence, and expected LED behavior both
during the boot-up and under operating conditions. An appendix shows the radio node antenna patterns.

The primary audience for this guide includes network planners, system administrators and installation
personnel. It assumes you have knowledge about networking principles, networking configuration, site
preparation, powering, and experience in hardware installation and maintenance.

System Overview

The SCRN-310 is an indoor multi-access small cell capable of supporting Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio protocols concurrently in a
single platform. The radio node is 3GPP compliant, supporting UMTS Release 7 and LTE Release 9
standards.

Each radio node supports:

• up to 32 simultaneous UMTS voice and data channels, a peak downlink rate of 21 Mbps and a
peak uplink rate of 5 Mbps.

• up to 32 active LTE users, a peak download rate of 100 Mbps, and a peak upload of 50 Mbps
when used with 20 MHz channel bandwidth.

The radio node enables mobile operators to offer dedicated, in-building coverage and capacity for UMTS
and LTE services. It is easy to install and connects to the existing enterprise LAN using standard Ethernet
cabling or to a dedicated LAN infrastructure deployed for use by the operator. SCRN-310 radio nodes are
managed by the SpiderCloud SCSN-9000 services node access controller, typically installed in the
enterprise DMZ.
