Installation Safety
•Follow all safety regulations when installing the MA1000 system
•Only qualified personnel are authorized to install and maintain the MA1000 system
•The equipment is intended for installation in restricted access locations only
RF Safety
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirement, adhere to the following warnings:
Warning! To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, antennas used for this product must be
fixed mounted on indoor permanent structures, providing a separation distance of at least 40 cm from all
persons during normal operation.
Warning! Antenna gain should not exceed 12.5 dBi.
Warning! Each individual antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a minimum
separation distance of 40 cm or more from all persons and must not be co-located with any other antenna for
meeting RF exposure requirements.
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.
Caution! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Compliance with RF Safety Requirements
•Corning MobileAccess products have no inherent significant RF radiation
•The RF level on the down link is very low at the Remote Hub Unit (RHU) downlink ports. Therefore, there
is no dangerous RF radiation when the antenna is not connected.
Laser Safety
•Fiber optic ports of the MA1000/2000 emit invisible laser radiation at the 1310 nm wavelength window.
•To avoid eye injury never look directly into the optical ports, patchcords or optical cables. Do not stare into
beam or view directly with optical instruments. Always assume that optical outputs are on.
•Only technicians familiar with fiber optic safety practices and procedures should perform optical fiber
connections and disconnections of the MA1000/2000 modules and the associated cables.
•MA1000/2000 complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to laser notice
no. 50 (July 26, 2001) & IEC 60825-1, amendment 2 (Jan. 2001).

Care of Fiber Optic Connectors
•Do not remove the protective covers on the fiber optic connectors until a connection is ready to be made.
Do not leave connectors uncovered when not connected.
•The tip of the fiber optic connector should not come into contact with any object or dust.
•Refer to the cleaning procedure for information on the cleaning of the fiber tip.
Power Requirements for DC Inputs
Warning!
•Only use a special DC supply cable with four connectors
•Always keep DC IN connectors connected during the product operation
•Disconnect all power from the equipment by means of an external circuit breaker before connecting or
disconnecting the DC IN connectors.

1.1 About MA1000
The MA1000 provides enterprise level indoor coverage for a wide range of wireless services over
a single broadband infrastructure.
The MA1000 is a single operator, multi-band system based on combining a number of services,
voice and data, and distributing them to each remote location through a common antenna
infrastructure. These include Cellular, Paging, Public Safety and LTE SISO signals.
Cellular services are bi-directionally transferred between the capacity source (BTS/BDA) and the
remote locations using low loss fiber and broadband coax.
WLAN services from Wi-Fi Access Points (802.11 a/b/g/n) can be integrated with the MA1000
system at the remote sites for transport over a single cabling infrastructure to the antenna.
1.1.1 Features
•A multi-service platform that accommodates the combination of cellular and enterprise
services (e.g. WLAN, WMTS Telemetry and 900MHz Building Automation), eliminating the
need for separate overlay networks
•Carrier Class QoS – advanced signal handling and management ensures optimal performance
for all services
•Local and remote end-to-end monitoring and control through an interface to 410, 430 or SC-
450 system controller
•Low power system requirements eliminates the need for a high power capacity source’s,
reducing operator expenses
•Comprehensive conditioning and monitoring of RF signals at the head-end through an
interface to the Radio Interface Unit (RIU)
•Reduce cost through the support of multimode fiber
•Software programmable parameters including output power, AGC (on/off and levels), and
system gain
•Real time component setting capabilities for optimal performance
1.2 System Architecture
The MA1000 solution is based on the following main elements:
•Base Units (BUs) – The BUs perform RF to optic conversion on the BTS side.
•MA Remote Hub Units (RHUs) 1000 – The MA 1000 performs the RF to optic signal
conversion at the antenna side for up to two services corresponding to the RHU model. A
third service can be added by connecting an add-on remote hub unit to the MA1000 RHU.
•Add On – Service specific module that provides support for an additional service to an
existing RHU.
•700 LTE SISO add-on – Add-on module specifically designed to support LTE SISO in the
700 MHz lower A, B and C blocks and the upper C block. (The LTE add-on model varies
depending on whether or not it is used in conjunction with the 700/800 Public Safety RHU).
