1.1 About MobileAccess™ 1000
MobileAccess™ 1000 converged wireless networks solution provides scalable in-building
coverage for multiple wireless data and voice services through a single coax and broadband
antenna infrastructure.
The solution is based on combining a number of services, both voice and data, at each covered
location and distributing them through a common antenna infrastructure.
NOTE: MobileAccess is in the process of transition to 1000M products that will support both
singlemode fiber and multimode fiber. The new Base Unit is designated by WBM (Wide Band M)
and the new RHUs will be indicated by 1000M RHUs,
where the suffix “M” indicates that the
product will support both single mode and multimode fiber usage.
The new products have the
same packaging and performance and are fully backward compatible. See
3.3.2, Fiber Optic
Rules for details on multimode fiber use.
Voice services are transmitted between the BTS side and the locations via optic fiber after the
appropriate conversion from RF to optic, and reconverted to RF at each end. The MA 1000
system provides entry level solutions that can be upgraded
using the same infrastructure to
support additional services as required.
Wireless 802.11/a/b/g coverage may be integrated into the MA 1000 system using the MA
850/860 remote module (that supports wireless LAN service distribution).
To optimize system coverage under changing environmental conditions or load, as well as to
enable remote monitoring of all system elements from a central location, MobileAccess provides
the following MA 1000 system enhancement solutions:
•Manageable BTS interface devices that control the level of the BTS signal fed into the
system (Radio Interface Unit)
•Network Management System (NMS) consisting of controllers, adjustment and
management software
1.1.1 Features
•Support for all current and future technologies such as TDMA, CDMA, WCDMA and GSM,
and services such as PCS/CELLULAR, Paging, iDEN and 802.11 (a/b/g) Wireless LAN
•All services are distributed through a
single coax and antenna infrastructure
•All active components are located in the communication closet/room
•Modular, scalable and future-safe – additional remote units can
easily be installed
•Support for remote monitoring through MA 410/430 controllers
•Eliminates RF interferences occurring where multiple antenna systems are used to serve
multiple services
MA 1000M Installation and Configuration Guide 1

Introduction to the MA 1000 System
•Enables fast deployment for corporate enterprises, property owners and WSP’s of new
services
•Reduces tenant disruption
•Low power required by the system eliminates the need for high power BTS/RBS, reducing
operator expenses
•Provides both local and remote monitoring and control capabilities
•Software programmable parameters including output power, AGC (on/off and levels),
and system gain
•Real time component setting capabilities for optimal performance (aging, temperature,
optical connectors, etc.,)
1.2 System Architecture
The MA 1000 solution is based on the following main elements:
•MA 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 (MA 1200) to the RHU
1000.
•MA 850 – The MA 850 is a wireless LAN module that provides secure and centralized
connections for 802.11a/b/g Access Points and distributes the wireless services over the
same coax and broadband infrastructure as the voice services.
MA 1000M Installation and Configuration Guide 2

Introduction to the MA 1000 System
All services are combined and distributed through the same antenna broadband infrastructure.
To provide optimum coverage at all times and monitoring and control of all system elements from
a central location MA provides the following devices:
•MA Radio Interface Units (RIUs) – The RIUs provide interfaces for up to three
BTS/BDA signals, and automatically adjusts the output signal in response to input signal
level in order to provide optimal coverage.
•MA 410/430 controllers – The controllers enable remote monitoring of the system
elements from a
single location via advanced intuitive GUI.

This chapter describes the MA1000 system basic elements: MA remote modules (MA 100 RHU
and MA1200 Add-on) and the Base Units. Your system may include additional elements such as
MA 410/430 controllers, MA RIUs and MA850 or MA860 units; these are described in the
corresponding User Guides.
2.1 Remote Modules
The Optical to RF conversion of each service at the individual building floors is performed by
remote units corresponding to the service types. These consist of MA 1000 RHUs and in addition,
may include MA 1200 add on modules and MA 850 modules.
The configurations depend on the requirements of the site and the supported services. The
following sections describe each of the system elements.
NOTE: The connections as they relate to the MA 1000 system are described in Chapter
4 -
System Installation.
2.1.1 MA 1000 RHUs
Each RHU supports two different services (one high-band and one low-band). All RHUs are add-
on ready, meaning that their optic interface and control functionality can support a third (high-
power) service through the connections of a MA 1200 Add-on module (see section 2.1.2).
Each RHU 1000 is connected to the corresponding BU (located in the communication room)
through a fiber optic connection. Remote monitoring is provided through the BU connections to
the MA 410/430 controller (1.4).
The RHU 1000 services, MA 1200 add-on service and data services (provided by MA 860) at each
location are combined and then transmitted over a common infrastructure to strategically placed
antennas.

2.2 MA Base Units
The BUs (Base Units) perform RF to optical conversion of the signal on the BTS/BDA side. Each
can support up to two services (provided by the same operator). Two models of MA BUs are
available: four-port unit – supporting four RHUs, and eight-port unit supporting up to eight RHUs.
The RHU models correspond to the services supplied through the BUs.
The BU (and all the corresponding remote units) may be remotely monitored and managed via
the MA NMS (Network Management System).
The BUs are usually installed in the telecom room adjacent to the BTS/BDA signal source. RF
ports on the rear panel provide interface to the BTS side (through connection to RIU or passive
