1 Introduction The nanoLTE E40 AP (E40) is a single mode LTE only Access Point, built on advanced DSP technology. Supporting 2x2 MIMO with an output power of +21dBm per port (at the antenna connector), the E40 provides comprehensive LTE operation for Enterprise deployments. This product is designed to provide coverage and capacity enhancement for indoor deployments. 1.1 1.2 Related Information [REF_11105] nanoLTE System Glossary (NANO_REF_11105) [21.
2 Key Features The key features of the nanoLTE E40 AP are: Feature Details 3GPP Compliance Compliant to [36.104]. Number of RF Carriers Single Carrier. Bandwidth The nanoLTE AP supports the following bandwidths: • 5MHz • 10MHz • 15MHz • 20MHz MIMO 2x2 MIMO-Single User Downlink only. RF Average Output Power 2 x +21dBm (2 x 125mW). Max Data Rate Throughput In N4G_1.1, the supported maximum data rates are 75Mbps DL and 25Mbps UL over the air.
Note: Feature Details Receive diversity Yes. Receive sensitivity Meets the requirements in [36.104]. Oscillator High stability OCXO. Absolute frequency stability +/- 100ppb per annum under normal operating conditions. The specified data rates are for a single user and relate to air interface performance assuming an ideal radio channel. The data rates achieved at the application layer may vary subject to radio conditions, available backhaul bandwidth and number of simultaneous active users.
3 Product Details 3.1 RF Capabilities The E40 is Quad Band for both EU and US. See section 2 for band support. 3.2 Throughput Performance The E40 platform is capable of high speed data transfer to LTE capable devices. The platform is software upgradeable to support the following enhancements: • Up to 16 simultaneous RRC Connected LTE users • Up to 75Mbps peak downlink data (software upgradeable to 100Mbps) • Up to 25Mbps peak uplink data (software upgradeable to 37.
3.4 OA&M The E40 supports a management interface which allows direct configuration via the Network Orchestration System (NOS). This is the same NOS as the 3G one that can be updated to support nanoLTE Access Points. 3.5 Electrical and Mechanical 3.5.1 Power Maximum power consumption is approximately 20W. The E40 requires an external power supply with a rating of 12V DC. All electrical inputs are protected against over voltage and reverse polarity connections. 3.5.
3.5.3 Physical Interfaces The following physical interfaces are presented on the enclosure panel: • DC power jack • RJ45 Ethernet (LAN) • 2 x SMA female RF • Reset Switch • GPS Antenna Port (inactive) 3.5.4 Antennas When used in SISO mode, it is possible to have one antenna for the Tx path and one antenna for the Rx path. The nanoLTE E40 AP has 2 antenna elements housed internally within its external plastic enclosure. These are directly connected to the main PCB assembly by means of SMA connectors.
3.5.5 Network Interfaces The AP provides a single electrical Ethernet network interface via a standard RJ45 socket. The interface supports 1Gbps with MDI/MDIX cable auto-selection. The Ethernet interface is used for: • Backhaul connection to the EPC via S1 over IP • OA&M connection to NOS via TR-069 This interface is IP access medium (e.g. DSL or LAN) agnostic subject to the bandwidth, jitter and latency being within limits. The backhaul and management connections are secured using IPsec. 3.5.
3.6 Accessories The following accessories are supplied with the product: • 12V DC power supply • Wall mounting plate • Tool for detaching the AP from the wall mounting plate 3.7 Hardware Installation Options The nanoLTE E40 Access Points are designed for wall mounting. 3.8 Network Architecture The E40 connects to the EPC directly via the S1 interface in accordance with 3GPP standards based LTE architecture (see [36.300]).
3.9 NOS OA&M Support for LTE APs The NOS provides management capabilities for nanoLTE Access Points via the TR-069 management interface. Configuration Management and Fault Management are provided using the standard TR196 v2 data model. The nanoLTE AP can also report Performance Management measurements to the NOS, and the NOS can produce KPI reports from the measurement data.
4 Compliance to Standards Any nanoLTE Access Point equipment installed on site conforms to the Essential Requirements of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC and is subject to the legal requirements set by the local authorities. The equipment is required to fulfil fire load requirements (describing the energy that the equipment would add to a fire) in accordance with EN 60950. The fire load shall not increase with future changes to the hardware. The nanoLTE Access Points have CE marking. 4.
4.3 Transportation The nanoLTE Access Point complies with the following standard for transportation: • EN 300 019-1-2 "Class 2.3 Public Transportation". 4.4 Safety The nanoLTE Access Point complies with the following standard for safety: • EN60950-1:2006 Safety of information technology equipment Including Electrical Business Equipment. 4.5 Hardware Equivalence for 248 and 278 Product Variants The 248 and 278 product variants have an identical hardware build for each set of supported bands.
