2.2 MA2000 Remote Location Units
Service specific units located at each remote location convert the optical signals received from
the Base Units to RF signals and route them to the coax antenna infrastructure.
NOTE: The voice services are converged by an 8x4 Combiner unit that is installed in the Cabinet
enclosure and the Lite module.
The following types of service specific elements are available:
•
Remote Units (RUs) – support two voice services
•
MA1200 Add-On – adds an additional (third) voice service to the host RU to which it is
connected.
•
MA850/MA860 – converges data services from 802.11a/b/g APs and distributes them over
the same coax and antenna infrastructure
NOTE:
The MA850/MA860 is described in detail in the MA850/MA860 Configuration and Installation
guide.
