About MA 1000
The
MA 1000
provides enterprise level indoor coverage for a wide range of wireless services
over a single broadband infrastructure.
The MA 1000 is a single operator, multi-band system based on combining a number of services,
voice and data, and distributing them to each remote location through a common antenna
infrastructure. These include Cellular, Paging, Public Safety and LTE SISO signals.
Cellular services are bi-directionally transferred between the capacity source (BTS/BDA) and the
remote locations using low loss fiber and broadband COAX.
WLAN services from WiFi Access Points (802.11 a/b/g/n) can be integrated with the MA 1000
system at the remote sites for transport over a single cabling infrastructure to the antenna.
1.1.1 Features
•
A multi-service platform that accommodates the combination of cellular and enterprise
services (e.g. WLAN, WMTS Telemetry and 900MHz Building Automation), eliminating the
need for separate overlay networks
•
Carrier Class QoS – advanced signal handling and management ensures optimal performance
for all services
•
Local and remote end-to-end monitoring and control through an interface to 410, 430 or SC-
450 system controller
•
Low power system requirements eliminates the need for a high power capacity source’s,
reducing operator expenses
•
Comprehensive conditioning and monitoring of RF signals at the head-end through an
interface to the Radio Interface Unit (RIU)
•
Reduce cost through the support of multimode fiber
•
Software programmable parameters including output power, AGC (on/off and levels), and
system gain
•
Real time component setting capabilities for optimal performance
1.2 System
Architecture
The MA 1000 solution is based on the following main elements:
•
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 to the MA1000 RHU.
•
Add On
– Service specific module that provides support for an additional service to an
existing RHU.
•
700 LTE SISO add-on –
add-on specifically designed to support LTE SISO in the 700 MHz
lower A, B and C blocks and the upper C block. (The LTE add-on model varies depending on
whether or not it is used in conjunction with the 700/800 Public Safety RHU).
