2. Base Station 2.1 Overview The Quantum 1000 employs an extremely flexible and versatile hardware architecture. The heart of the base station is a sophisticated and highly integrated ASIC that combines 6 DSP and general purpose processor cores along with specialized cialized DSP hardware. A Linux-based based subsystem supports applications, SNMP and other management functions. Finally,,the ,the Quantum 1000 includes 2 RF transmitters and associated ociated PAs, and 4 RF receivers (refer to figure 3).

2.4 Enclosure The Quantum 1000 Base Station Sector is made up of a single, weather weather-resistant resistant cabinet with the overall dimensions of: 24” W x 17”” H x 5” D (figures 6 and 7). ). The unit has 4 mounting “ears”, each one located near a corner of the rear of the enclosure. Each “ear” will accommodate a M10 bolt. The mounting holes are spaced 37cm apart (center-to-center), center), horizontally, and 44.3cm apart, vertically (figures (figure 8 and 9).
Figure 8 - Quantum 1000 Base Station Sector Rear View 37cm 44.3cm Figure 9 – Quantum 1000 Base Station Mounting Hole Pattern The Base Station unit can be installed either as an entire outdoor unit (ODU) or as an entire indoor unit (IDU). The antenna must always be installed outdoors. Note: It is recommended that the Base Station Enclosure is mounted upright such that the antenna N-type type connectors face down towards the ground.

Figure 11 - Base Station Connected Once the Base Station enclosure has been mounted, the following connections must be made. • POWER:: Provides the DC power source for the Base Station unit. • GND: This provides a ground connection point for the Base Station. It is important to ensure that the Base Station is professionally grounded and complies with all local relevant grounding electrical codes.
• E-NET NET 2: This Gigabit Ethernet port provides an out out-of-band band management interface. interf In addition, this port can be used for daisy aisy chaining to another base station or to connect to an external device such as a web Camera Camera. The he traffic coming from the daisy chain connector shall be aggregated and passed through the backhauling connector connector.

2.7 GPS This port provides the connection between the GPS antenna (external) and the GPS receiver module (internal). GPS is used by the Base Station to synchronize its TDD gate to those of Base Stations in neighboring cells. Connect the coaxial cable from the external GPS antenna to the SMA-type SMA female connector marked “GPS” on the bottom right corner of the Base Station unit (refer to figure 18). 1 Typical GPS antennas are shown in figure 1 19.
No software pre-configuration ration is required and all that is needed is to connect the Base Station to a GPS. When the Base Station detects that a 1 pps GPS signal is present then it will synchronize its TDD gate to the GPS and if it does not detect a 1 pps GPS signal then it will ssynchronize ynchronize to its own internal source.
Figure 20 - Base Station Antenna Figure 21 – Typical Antenna Deployment The antenna panel will be mounted to a pole having an outer diameter (OD) between 1”” and 4”, via the provided mounting kit. Quantum 1000 Base Station User Guide Rev 1.
2.8.1 Antenna Mounting Kit The procedure to install the antenna mounting kit is detailed below. It is recommended that that mounting kit is attached to the antenna prior to hoisting up the tower. Figure 22 is an illustration of the components that are included in the antenna mounting kit. Figure 22 – Antenna Mounting Kit 1) Lay down the antenna, designating which way is “up” (figure 2 23). Figure 23 – Rear Antenna Face Quantum 1000 Base Station User Guide Rev 1.
2) Take the large U-bracket bracket with the cut-out out clot and insert over the 4 bolts (figure 24). 2 Ensure that the slot is pointed towards the bottom of the antenna. This is to allow for the angular displacement. Figure 24 – Attached U-brackets 3) Tighten and secure the U-Brackets Brackets using the appropriate nut (figure 25) Figure 25 – Secure U-brackets Quantum 1000 Base Station User Guide Rev 1.
4) Take the pole clamp section with the bolt hole and secure to the U U-Bracket Bracket using the bolt and lock washer (figure 26). ). Secure a pole clamp section to each U U-Bracket. Figure 26 – Pole Clamp half section 5) Depending on the intended angle of elevation and degree of down/up tilt will determine whether to lock one end and have flexibility on the other. This is the intent of the slots.
6) The other half of the pole clamp section can now be attached using the M4 by 25 bolts plus the lock washer and lock nut (figure 2 28). These will be adjusted to provide the necessary clamp depending on the thickness of the pole (figure 2 29). Figure 28 – Pole Clamp half section Figure 29 - Mounting Kit final assembly Quantum 1000 Base Station User Guide Rev 1.
7) The final assembly can now be attached to the pole (figure 30). Figure 30- Antenna Mounted to Pole Diagrams that demonstrate the vertical angular displacement and a visual concept of how the antenna can be aligned are outlined in figures 31 and 32. Quantum 1000 Base Station User Guide Rev 1.

Figure 32 – Antenna Alignment 2.9 Ethernet This port allows remote command and control of the Base Station and also provides the data traffic backhaul interface that should be conne connected cted to the Service Provider’s network equipment. The cable connection is a straight-through through 568 568-B standard as shown below in figure 33. Quantum 1000 Base Station User Guide Rev 1.
Figure 33 – Ethernet 568-B Straight Connection In the case that the Base Station is mounted outdoors care it is important to ensure that the following points are followed. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) You must install an appropriate outdoor rated, shielded Category Category-5 5 (Cat 5) 100 Mbps Ethernet cable. You must install a shielded outdoor rated metal RJ45 cable connector.
2.9.1 Weather Protection of the Ethernet Connector An IP67 compliant weather protection connector is provided along with the Base Station Sector. This will provide the means to weather protect the RJ45 Ethernet connection. Figure 34 is an illustration of the components that are includ included ed in the protection connector. Figure 34 – Ethernet Weather Connection Note: Please remember to install all the pieces of the connector onto the cable before the RJ45 connector is crimped.
2) Take the plastic RJ45 holder and ensure that the rubber RJ45 cut out is stuck onto the RJ45 holder (figure 36) Figure 36 – Plastic RJ45 Holder 3) Pull the cable plus RJ45 connector through the RJ 45 holder and ensure that the RJ45 connector is pulled tight into the holder. Ensure that the connector flap is locked in place (figure 37). 3 Figure 3 37 – Plastic RJ45 Holder plus RJ45 Cable Quantum 1000 Base Station User Guide Rev 1.
4) Install the rubber ring around the cable and the other components as shown in figure 38. 3 Figure 38 – All Components Assembled 5) Tighten the end cable locks and the assembly is complete (figure 3 39). Figure 39 – Complete Assembly Quantum 1000 Base Station User Guide Rev 1.
6) The assembly can now be attached to the Base Station Sector thus creating a weather protected connection (figure 40). Figure 40 – Complete Assembly connected to Base Station Quantum 1000 Base Station User Guide Rev 1.
