Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Scope of this Document This document shows how to install RADWIN’s Transportation FiberinMotion (FiberinMotion or FinM) solution. This publication is addressed primarily to installing technicians. • • For guidelines of the Transportation FiberinMotion network, see the FinM Network Guidelines. For a description of how to configure and operate the Transportation FiberinMotion solution, see the FinM Configuration Guide 1.
Transportation FiberinMotion Overview Introduction (A) (D,F,G) (E) to power source (B) (B,C) to backhaul network, ISUs/OSUs Figure 1‐1: FiberinMotion Overview The FiberinMotion solution works as follows: A. TBS (Transportation Base Station) units are installed on poles or walls, and are equipped with antennas (usually 4). B. The TBS units are connected to the backhaul network (Gigabit ethernet via RJ45 or fiber optic) and power, C. All TBS units are synchronized to the same clock source.
Transportation FiberinMotion Overview Introduction D. TMUs (Transportation Mobile Units) are installed on board rolling stock, and are equipped with antennas (usually 3, installed on the roof). One TMU is installed in the front and another in the rear most compartment of the train. E. The TBS units transmit to/receive from TMUs that are located within its beam. F. The TMU radios are powered by PoE devices or are powered directly by an on‐board switch that can provide PoE‐plus (802.3.at) connection. G.
Major Components Introduction 1.2.1 Major Components The major components of the Transportation FiberinMotion solution are described below: TBS TBS (transportation base station) radios are OFDM/MIMO3x3, IP‐67 compliant outdoor units placed at fixed locations along the wayside and communicate with TMUs (Transportation Mobile Units) installed on board trains/metros so as to ensure consistent and reliable broadband radio coverage.
Major Components Introduction TMU TMU (transportation mobile unit) radios operate on‐board, and transmit to/receive from TBSs installed on wayside poles or walls to provide communication connections for on‐board equipment such as routers and WiFi devices. Two TMUs (best practice) are installed on the train (one at each end), are connected to the train internal network, and maintain continuous communications link with the relevant TBS.
Major Components Introduction TMU antennas Each TMU is connected to 3 shark‐fin antennas installed on the train roof pointing to the driving direction (see Appendix A, Antenna Guidelines for a list of antennas) : Figure 1‐6: Shark‐fin antenna for TMU Shark‐fin antennas installed on train ISU The ISU (Indoor Synchronization Unit) provides a master clock to all TBSs, and is connected to one of the wayside network switches. Figure 1‐7: Indoor Synchronization Unit FinM Installation Guide DQ0266070/A.
Major Components Introduction OSU OSUs (Outdoor Synchronization Unit), encased in a similar form factor as the TBSs, are outdoor devices that receive a GPS clock signal and distributes this over the wayside network. The OSUs are connected to one of the wayside network switches. If there is a GPS failure, the OSUs act as an ISU and provide the internal clock to the TBSs. Figure 1‐8: Outdoor Synchronization Unit FinM Installation Guide DQ0266070/A.
Accessories Introduction GSU GSUs (GPS Synchronization Unit) are outdoor devices that receive a GPS clock signal and distributes this over the wayside network. Figure 1‐9: GPS Synchronization Unit 1.2.
Synchronization Introduction PoE Power‐over‐Ethernet devices can be used to supply both power and network communications to the TBS, TMU, and the OSU/ISU/GSUs. RADWIN provides different types of AC/DC PoE injectors in several power ranges. If M12 cabling must be used on board, a special PoE‐TMU cable is available from RADWIN. Outdoor PoE Indoor PoE PoE for the TMU (ruggedized, with M12 connections) Figure 1‐11: PoE Units Alternatively RADWIN TBS/TMU/OSU can be connected directly to a standard 802.

Regulatory Compliance General Note This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This means that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to comply. The frequency bands in which the system operates may be “unlicensed” and in these bands, the system can be used provided it does not cause interference.
Radio devices using external antennas operating in the 5150‐5250 MHz band must comply with the EIRP limits as specified in the Certified Antennas appendix as per Base Station or Train installation.
Installers are advised to consider high‐power radars allocation as priority users of the band 5470‐5725 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to the radio devices. Les installateurs sont invites a envisager de radars a haute puissance allocation que les utilisateurs prioritaires des bande 5470‐5725 MHz et que ces radars pourraient causer interferences et /ou endommager les appareils de radio.
The radio devices in this manual have been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed in the Certified Antennas appendix with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicate for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Safety Practices Applicable requirements of National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70; and the National Electrical Safety Code, ANSI/IEEE C2, must be considered during installation. NOTES: 1.
