User Manual v1.0 2. Prior to repair, Corning will advise the customer of our test results and any charges for repairing customer-caused problems or out-of-warranty conditions etc. 3. Repaired products are warranted for the balance of the original warranty period, or at least 90 days from date of shipment.
User Manual v1.0 Warning! The design of the antenna installation needs to be implemented in such a way so as to ensure RF radiation safety levels and non-environmental pollution during operation. Compliance with RF Safety Requirements: • Corning products have no inherent significant RF radiation. • The RF level on the downlink is very low at the downlink ports. Therefore, there is no dangerous RF radiation when the antenna is not connected.
User Manual v1.0 Note: The commissioning procedure, monitoring, and management capabilities and configuration options of the Corning BWS™ Wireless Platform elements are described in a dedicated User Manual (Corning BWS User Manual). Copyright Copyright © 2019 Corning.

User Manual v1.0 1. Introduction Corning’s BWS™ platform 1.0 is the first fully-digital, end-to-end in-building cellular solution, for medium size venues. It provides coverage of 200,000 – 500,000 square feet, of mobile communication voice and data traffic, covering a wide range of frequencies. Being a pure digital system dramatically reduces system costs, and the system foot print.
User Manual v1.
User Manual v1.0 Abbreviation Description view, a cell is an information unit, transferred through the fiber cable. The DRU logic determines how to distribute the information internally, via the clusterization logic (see term below). A Cell is either FDD or TDD mode (also referred to as Sector). Cluster A group of LPRs, to which the data is distributed from a single cell. This is a DRU-level term.
User Manual v1.0 1.3 Overview: about BWS 1.0 Architecture BWS fully digital platform incorporates integrated capacity source Base Band Units (BBU) with the digital distribution units – Digital Router Unit (DRU) and Low Power Radio (LPR) units. The solution enables multi band and multi operator support, high scalability (both, in capacity and coverage) and provides simple migration paths to future technologies. BWS 1.
User Manual v1.0 1.3.2 System Sub-Units BWS includes three basic elements: Base-Band Unit (BBU), Digital Router Unit (DRU), Low Power Radio (LPR). The units and their general functionality are described in the following table. Table 3: BWS Basic Units Unit Name Picture BBU Description This unit connects to the core-network provider’s base station, receives the RF signals, and distributes it towards BWS internal units. It connects to an operator's Evolved Packet Core (EPC) over the S1 interface.
User Manual v1.0 Two basic management states are distinguished: • Connectivity updates: includes first time deployment and provisioning, connectivity changes. For these use cases, the BBU calculates and distributes system schemes and maps to the connected DRUs. The first time provisioning includes: 1. 2. Entering the BBU data into: a. The provider’s network b. The BBU itself (via SCPS application) The BBU initiates an identification procedure of its MAC address.
User Manual v1.0 1.4 Key Features and Capabilities Flexible and economic traffic management; Optimized network utilization: A unique combination of smart traffic management techniques, allowing load (and thus cost) reduction based. These optimizations are achieved via automated management considerations and path selection techniques. e.g.

Power: Connect the DC wire pair (48V) to the LPR connectors panel, via the DC power adapter (terminal block connector). 2. Optic cable: 3. • Remove the rubber stopper from the SFP connector located in the LPR RF port • Connect the optic cable to the LPR optic connector.
User Manual v1.0 4.4.4 Verify Normal Operation Verify the status LED blinking in green. Verify CPRI link behaviour: • If there is a CPRI link – the green LED above the SFP will light. • If the optical cable is connected but the CPRI link was not established yet – the green and the amber LEDs will light together.
User Manual v1.0 5. Post Installation Steps Apter installing connecting and powering-on the LPRs, configure the LPR via the DRU connected to that specific LPR. Refer to the system UM for configuration and management needs. 5.1 Unit Management To configure and manage the LPR and DRU units, the user needs to access the relevant DRU unit to which the LPR is physically connected. Another option is to access the overall system management mechanism, through the BBU (refer to BBU UM).
