SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-220 Hardware Installation Guide
About this Manual
This guide provides the system specifications of the SpiderCloud Wireless
®
Radio Node 220 (SCRN-220).
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.
Product Overview
The SCRN-220 is an integrated LTE small cell with support for Rel13 IOT devices. SpiderCloud’s scalable
small cell system, called an Enterprise Radio Access Network (E-RAN), hides the complexity of radio
management and mobility and provides operators with a single touch point to aggregate and manage a
large network of LTE small cells.
Each SCRN-220 supports 2x2 MIMO operation on configurable LTE bands, enabling higher user capacity
and average data rates per radio node coverage footprint. Each LTE carrier supports 64 active LTE users
and up to 128 RRC Connections. When used with 20 MHz channel bandwidth, an LTE carrier supports a
peak downlink rate of 150 Mbps and a peak uplink rate of 50 Mbps.
The radio node implements SON capability by listening to other radio nodes within the E-RAN and
neighboring LTE macro cells in multiple frequency bands, and performing continuous self-optimization to
provide high-quality radio coverage and mobility.
SpiderCloud radio nodes can be installed on walls or ceilings. Both network connectivity and power are
provided over Ethernet. The radio node has no fans and is completely convection cooled. Antennas are
built-in for both LTE bands, with an orderable option for QMA connectors for use with external antennas.
SCRN-220 utilizes on-chip Trusted Platform Module (TPM) functions to implement secure boot, and
establish certificate- based IPsec tunnel to SpiderCloud services node for all LTE traffic. There is no
management or console port on the radio node, and the radio node can be physically locked to prevent
theft.
