About this Manual
The Corning SCRN-510 small cell radio node is an integrated 5G new radio (NR) mmWave radio node that is
part of the Corning enterprise radio access network (E-RAN). The scalable SCRN-510 radio node and the enter
-
prise radio access network (E-RAN) simplify the complexity of radio management and mobility, and provide
operators with a single interface to aggregate and manage a large network of radio nodes. This guide pro
-
vides the system specifications of the SCRN-510. It includes detailed hardware installation instructions, the
boot sequence, and expected LED behavior both during the boot-up and under normal operating conditions.
NOTE:
The 5G New Radio (NR) is a new radio access technology developed by 3GPP for fifth generation (5G)
mobile networks.
The primary audience for this guide includes network planners, system administrators and installation per
-
sonnel. It assumes you have knowledge about networking principles, networking configuration, site prepara
-
tion, powering, and experience in hardware installation and maintenance.
2. Product Overview
The SCRN-510 is a 5G mmWave Time Division Duplexing (TDD) radio node that supports 2 x 2 MIMO small cell
operation on NR band n261, enabling high user capacity and high data rates for the coverage footprint. The
SCRN-510 connects to a Corning centralized unit (CU). It uses certificate-based authentication with the Corn
-
ing CU. SCRN-510 radio nodes are managed by the Corning centralized units installed in the enterprise or in a
centralized location such as a data center.
The SCRN-510 includes built-in self-organizing networks (SON) features for ease of deployment. Its fronthaul
network can be deployed using approved 10 Gb fiber optic cables. The radio node receives 48 VDC power from
a Corning PSU6 DC Power Supply Unit or equivalent. There is no management or console port on the radio
node, and the radio node is physically locked to prevent theft. The SCRN-510 is fan-cooled, and its antennas
are built-in. Each SCRN-510 comes with a ceiling-mount bracket attached for installing directly to a flat sur
-
face, as well as a second multi-angle (0, 15, 30, and 45 degree) wall-mount bracket loose in the box.
The SCRN-510 uses on-chip Trusted Platform Module (TPM) functions to implement secure boot, and to estab
-
lish certificate-based IPsec tunnels to the centralized unit. It includes a PTP client to achieve frequency and
phase synchronization with other mmWave radio nodes and base stations. When used with 2 x 100 MHz
channel bandwidth on the downlink, a radio node supports a peak downlink rate of 1.1 Gbps and a peak uplink
rate of 60 Mbps @ 64QAM.
The E-RAN element management system includes configuration, fault and performance monitoring, and
security functions.
