1.3.6 System Architecture and Topologies The Corning ONE™ solution fiber-optic infrastructure is used to transmit both RF and digital services: • RF services – Broadband RF distribution over fiber-optics infrastructure transfers converged wireless services from the headend towards Remote Access Units (RAU) deployed at the remote end locations according to user defined configuration.

PAGE 25
1.3.6.2 Digital Path The Digital services from the corporate LAN (received via Ethernet Switch) are converted to optic signals by the CEU (Centralized Ethernet Unit) and routed over optic fibers towards the GEM units. The optical traffic is then converted to 1GbE by the GEM (Gigabit Ethernet Modules) modules and distributed to two third party equipment such as Access Points, Ethernet switch, etc. Note: GEMs can be connected to the CEU either directly, or via an ICU (described in section 1.3.6.1 ).

1.4 Corning ONE™ WEB Management Application The Corning ONE™ solution consisting of the HEU and its hosted elements is managed via a WEB session to the HEU. The GUI based WEB management application provides all the required configuration, management and monitoring options for the Corning ONE system. The ONE Web management application consists of the Main Menu bar, where the displayed side-bar and work area options vary according to the selected menu option.

PAGE 28
1.5 User Controlled Service Group Distribution ONE™ fiber-optics infrastructure allows various combinations of SISO and MIMO services to be routed from the headend to specified remote locations on each floor, according to user defined configurations. This allows optimizing service coverage and provides equipment savings. While the fiber-optics infrastructure is common, the services can be routed via service provider shared or dedicated equipment.
PAGE 29
1.5.1 MIMO Configurations MIMO topologies provide more density by using two independent RF paths for the same service, where the independent paths are implemented by dedicated modules along the path. MIMO configuration is implemented by routing the two RF bands over dedicated RF paths at both the entry point (in the Headend Unit) and at the exit point (at the Remote Unit).
PAGE 30
1.5.3 Dual Service Group Example In this example, two service groups are defined: A,B,C and C,D. Note that a service can be allocated to any of the service groups at the same time. For example, service C is allocated to both service groups. Both service groups are routed to the OIU for optic conversion. Each OIU module (OIM) can be configured to support either one or (if they do not have a common band) to both service groups and the corresponding services are routed from the OIM to its hosted RAU units.
PAGE 31
1.5.5 Tri Service Group Example with Two HEUs This tri-service group example supports two HEUs. In this topology, the services routed via the two HEUs can be grouped in any combination between the two, providing up to three service groups. These groups of services are all routed towards a common OIU. Each OIU module (OIM) can be configured to support any (legal) combination of service groups and the corresponding services are routed from the OIM to its hosted RAU units.

4 Installation Guidelines The following installation assumes that site survey and installation planning (including power requirements) have been completed. This includes planning the distribution of antennas to provide the required coverage, as well as planning the layout of the devices and cables in the telecom closet or shaft. 4.
PAGE 59
4.4 Rack Installation Guidelines These guidelines are relevant to the system components which are installed in 19-inch communication racks: RF Path components: HEU, OIU and ICU; Digital Coverage components: CEU • Verify that the rack height can support all the units to be installed, where you may also want to consider future installations. Figure 4-1 shows an example of a rack configuration for the RF path components at the headend which facilitates and simplifies the cabling connections.
PAGE 60
4.5 Power Requirements This section summarizes the power requirements of all Corning ONE™ RF and digital coverage devices. 4.5.1 Power Safety Instructions SAFETY WARNINGS! When installing or selecting the power supplies: • Use only the power cables (AC and DC) and any other relevant accessories provided with the unit to connect the power supply to the ONE™ units. • Be sure to disconnect all power sources before servicing.
PAGE 61
4.6 RF Coaxial Cable Guidelines 4.6.1 General Cable Installation Procedures Note: The installer should be familiar with the ANSI/TIA/EIS-568 Cabling Standard guidelines. Observe the general cable installation procedures that meet with the building codes in your area. The building code requires that all cabling be installed above ceiling level (where applicable). The length of cable from the risers to each antenna must be concealed above the ceiling.
PAGE 62
4.6.3 Coax Cable Lengths and Losses Use coax ½”, 50ohm, male-to-male QMA type, for connecting to RAU and external antenna ports. Note: The required distance between the antennas (installed in the ceiling) depends on the infrastructure and calculated path-loss. For example, if there is free space-loss between the antennas, a minimum distance of 100 ft is required; if there are partitions (loss) between the antennas, a distance of less than 100 ft between them is allowed.
PAGE 63
4.7 Antenna Specifications and Guidelines Determine the antenna installation configuration, according to the transmission and coverage requirements and the installation site conditions. 4.7.1 Authorized Antennas and Required Specifications • Corning ONE™ RAU (Remote Access Unit) is equipped with an Omni Directional integrated antenna; 0 dBi (15 deg. down from horizon) • Corning ONE™ RAU5 (5 Band Remote Access Unit) requires external broadband antenna.

6.2.5 Assembling the GEU-S onto the Bracket Note: The safety screw tab (circled in Figure 7-11) should be in the same direction of the connectors. 1. 2. 3. 4. Hold the GEU-S near the mounting bracket and routed cables. Route the cables towards the front panel connectors, where the bracket will be located as shown in Figure 7-11. Insert the four GEU-S pins into the wide end of the bracket holes and then pull towards the narrow end to lock in.

7 Appendix A: RAU Upgrades 7.1 Upgrading RAU with an RxU This section describes how to upgrade an RAU with an RxU, providing MIMO support for the LTE700 and AWS bands.. 7.1.1 General Information • The RxU expands the RAU band support to additional two MIMO bands. • The RxU can either be pre-installed in the RAU module (according to order) or easily added at a later stage when required. • The installation of the RxU module is hot-swappable and does not require disconnecting cables or power. 7.1.
PAGE 156
7.1.3 Installing the RxU Module in the RAU Note: There is no need to disconnect the cables leading from the ceiling. To install RxU module in RAU enclosure: 1. Referring to Figure 8-1, remove RAU enclosure cover: A. Remove the Safety Tab Screw, securing the bracket to the RAU (located above MGMT port). B. Slide the RAU back into wide end of bracket screw holes, so that it “clicks” and remove unit. C. Unscrew the five screws securing the RAU enclosure cover and remove cover. D.

7.2 Upgrading RAU GEM Installation (Upgrade) The GEM module provides Ethernet Data coverage distributed through 3rd party equipment - supports PoE connection for up to two Access Points (APs). This section describes how to upgrade an RAU with a GEM module enabling the distribution of RF and Ethernet data coverage from a single unit. Note: If digital coverage is required during Greenfield deployment then the GEM is pre-installed in the RAU. 7.2.
PAGE 160
7.2.2 Installing the GEM module in the RAU 1. Remove RAU front panel and then cover by removing the five screws indicated in Figure 7-5 2. Plug GEM into the left side of the RAU, as shown in Figure 7-6 and secure the four GEM screws. 3. Replace the cover except for the front panel so that the interface ports are accessible, as shown in Figure 7-7. Figure 7-5. Removing RAU Enclosure Cover Figure 7-6.
