SpiderCloud Radio Node - SCRN-330 Hardware Installation Guide
About this Manual
This guide provides the system specifications of the SpiderCloud Wireless
®
Radio Node 330 (SCRN-330).
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-330 is a Time Division Duplexing (TDD) radio node that connects to a services node. It uses
GPS to achieve phase synchronization with macro networks. Each radio node support 128 connected
users and up to 8 bearers per UE. It supports peak transmit power of 2x250mW and uses Powered over
Ethernet plus (PoE+). This radio node supports CBRS technology, which enables services such as private
LTE networks and neutral host systems.
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. The SCRN-330 leverages Carrier Aggregation
(CA) and Self-Organizing Networks (SON) capabilities.
The SCRN-330 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-330 radio node are
managed by the SpiderCloud SCSN-9000 services node installed in the enterprise or in a centralized
location such as a data center.
The SCRN-330 has no fans and is convection cooled. Antennas are built-in with an orderable option for
SMA connectors for use with external antennas.
The SCRN-330 utilizes on-chip Trusted Platform Module (TPM) functions to implement secure boot, and
establish certificate-based IPsec tunnel to SpiderCloud services node for all traffic. There is no
management or console port on the radio node. The radio node can be physically locked to prevent theft.
