GENERAL DESCRIPTION The goal of the Repeater system is to improve coverage for Verizon Wireless LTE (747– 757 MHz, 777– 787 MHz) in medium size indoor areas Figure 1-1: BDA-700UC-26-52-AA-MBX-VZW Repeater The system implements BDA technology to enhance coverage in urban areas. Repeaters are used to fill out uncovered areas in cellular mobile systems, such as base station fringe areas, road tunnels, business and industrial buildings, etc. A Repeater receives signals from a base station, amplifies the signals and retransmits them to service area. It also receives, amplifies and retransmits signals in the opposite direction. Both directions are served simultaneously. In order to receive and transmit signals in both directions, the Repeater is connected to a donor antenna directed towards the base station and to a service antenna directed towards the area to be covered. Control of the Repeaters is performed using a desktop or laptop computer equipped with standard browser (no special software) which can communicate with the Repeaters, either locally or remotely via modem (optional).

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT Cellvine's indoor Repeaters are intended for installation indoors only. Do not install them where they might be exposed to direct sunlight and rain\snow conditions as this could be harmful to the unit. For normal operation, the environmental conditions should be as follows: Ambient temperature range: –10 °C to +50 °C, Maximum Humidity: 90 %. 3.3. PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION Before beginning the Repeater installation determine the following: Base station location and receiving power ( Tx power in dBm ) Location where the DONOR/ Service antenna is to be installed Location where the Repeater is to be installed Length of coaxial cable needed to connect from the Donor antenna to the Repeater unit Length of coaxial cable needed to connect from the Repeater unit to the indoor antenna/s. Isolation estimation between the donor and the coverage antenna/s. 3.4. ANTENNAS INSTALLATION 3.4.1. COVERAGE (SERVICE) ANTENNAS Coverage (service) antennas are facing to the service area. The mostly used Antennas for indoor applications are Omni or panel antennas. When multiple indoor areas need coverage, more than one antenna can be used. The indoor antennas are usually placed near the ceiling with decorative covers, antenna location decisions take into account isolation issues and overcoming interfering signals. For outdoor coverage, panel antennas are commonly used, location of the antenna is defined by coverage and isolation matter. Ver.1.3:2010-10 © 2010 Cellvine Ltd, all rights reserved CELLVINE LTD. BDA-700UC-26-52-AA-MBX-VZW 3.4.2. DONOR ANTENNA DONOR antenna is installed outside, facing to the donor BTS. The donor cell site should be chosen by considering capacity, range and signal level in the outdoor antenna location. The location should be chosen so that the donor cell site will be received at a higher level than all other adjacent cell sites. If possible this antenna should be faced directly to the nearest cellular site with a line of sight view. This antenna should also be properly grounded with an appropriate grounding strap and lightning protection if needed. Install the antenna according to antenna manufacturer instructions.

TUNING DONOR ANTENNA Locate a potential site for installing the Donor Antenna with an accessible and comfortable working space. If possible locate a place with a line of sight to the Donor BTS. Deploy a coax cable between the Donor antenna and the Repeater location and connect to the DONOR connector. In order to achieve the best signal reception quality at the donor antenna, rotate the antenna gently sideways and measure signal strength by an approved test set. 3.9. ANTENNA ISOLATION To assure proper Repeater operation, the isolation between the indoor (Service) and Donor antennas should be higher than the Repeater's maximal gain (15dB difference is recommended). This parameter can be measured by injecting a pilot signal at the indoor antenna's (DAS) connector and measuring the received signal at the DONOR antenna connector. The isolation measured should be at least 15dB higher then the MAX GAIN of the repeater. It is recommended to perform the test using a sweep signal generator to cover the whole band. It is also recommended, to perform the test in the opposite direction. (Injecting to the donor antenna and measuring at the Service antenna's connector).

BDA-700UC-26-52-AA-MBX-VZW 5.2.1. MAXIMUM GAIN LIMIT The Downlink Maximum Gain can only be set in AGC-ON mode. You can determine the maximum gain level for the repeater in automatic gain control; usually the default parameter is the maximum repeater gain. With this repeater model you can set the gain value between 60-90 dB 5.2.2. AGC POWER The Downlink AGC Power can only be set in AGC-ON mode. The AGC level is the parameter of the downlink forward-power level, which the automatic gain control will try to achieve by changing the repeater gain. This level is usually set to the maximal linear power of the repeater. You can determine the level in dBm of the AGC automatic mechanism. If, for example, 26 dBm is set, the repeater will increase or decrease gain in order to permanently achieve an output power of 26 dBm. In AGC ON mode, the change in the downlink gain and the uplink gain is simultaneous, and at the same step level unless the "Uplink Downlink Delta" parameter is different from "0".

Downlink Forward Power [dBm]- Real time indication of the current forward (output) power of the repeater in each band, and the currently downlink gain. Downlink Gain [dB]- The current downlink Gain of the repeater, and changes in Gain according to the AGC level Uplink Forward Power [dBm] - Real time indication of the current reverse power of the BTS from the repeater in each band, and the currently downlink gain. Uplink Gain [dB] - The current Uplink Gain of the repeater, and changes in Gain according to the AGC level Ver.1.3:2010-10 © 2010 Cellvine Ltd, all rights reserved 29 CELLVINE LTD. BDA-700UC-26-52-AA-MBX-VZW 5.4. ALARM SETTING SCREEN This screen allows you to set the application to display specific alarm types in the application software window, and send alarm notifications (if a modem is installed in the repeater) to the network operations center (NOC). 5.4.1. DOWNLINK LOW LIMIT TRESHOLD The output power level which the Downlink Low Alarm will be triggered from can be set at this window. For example: if we set the AGC Power to 26 dBm and we want to be alert with a "Downlink Low" alarm from output power of 21 dBm and below, we need to set the limit threshold level parameter to -5 dB. An optional Enable / Disable to this future is also available at this screen Ver.1.3:2010-10 © 2010 Cellvine Ltd, all rights reserved 30 CELLVINE LTD. BDA-700UC-26-52-AA-MBX-VZW 6. System Alarms Cellvine BDA-700UC-26-52-AA-MBX-VZW repeater is equipped with several alarm and smart protection mechanisms, which provide alerts and protect the repeater and the cellular network. This section describes the default alarms and protection mechanisms. The alarms are indicated in three ways: 1. LED indication on the front panel of the repeater. 2. On the graphical utility interface screen, in the Alarms description column of the Technician Setup screen. 3. Alarming capabilities to the Network Operations Center (NOC) via Kentrox (formerly Applied Innovation) system for repeater alarm monitoring.

LED INDICATION PANEL There are three indication LED's on the front panel: Power, Over Power, Status. LED INDICATION "STATUS" LED "OVP" LED ON OFF DL FWD PWR ≥ AGC Level - DL Low Alarm limit Threshold DL FWD PWR is at AGC Level Blink OFF DL FWD PWR < AGC Level - DL Low Alarm Threshold Low DL FWD DL FWD PWR > 2dBm after AGC at maximum attenuation (30 dB) DL P.A is at Shutdown Downlink DCA( attenuator) >15dB DL High PWR Uplink ( attenuator) >15dB UL High PWR OFF Blink OFF ON According to DL status ON Spec Description PWR Ver.1.3:2010-10 © 2010 Cellvine Ltd, all rights reserved 32 CELLVINE LTD. BDA-700UC-26-52-AA-MBX-VZW 6.2. DOWNLINK HIGH The alarm indicating high downlink power is triggered when a high signal is detected at the downlink input of the repeater. Automatic gain attenuation will reduce the downlink gain up to 30 dB. A high downlink red "OVER PWR" LED lights up on the alarms panel of the repeater, and "Downlink High" alarm notification appears on the software application window. 6.3. DOWNLINK LOW The Downlink Low alarm indicates that the incoming signal on the downlink path (from the BTS) is low, and the repeater is not providing its full power capacity. The alarm is triggered when the value of the downlink forward power is at least 3 dBm lower than the AGC power parameter. The Alarm will set on when the value of the Downlink Forward power parameter will be different from the "Downlink Low Limit Threshold" at the Alarm Setting screen. For example, if the downlink AGC power is set to 26 dBm and the "Downlink Forward Power" parameter current value, is less than 21 dBm, a Downlink Low alarm is triggered.

UPLINK HIGH The Uplink High alarm is triggered when a high signal is detected at the uplink input of the repeater. Automatic gain attenuation will reduce the uplink gain up to 30 dB. An Uplink High red "OVP" LED lights up on the alarms panel of the repeater, and a Uplink High alarm notification appears on the software application window.

POWER AMPLIFIER SHUTDOWN PROTECTIONS Shutting down the PA in AGC ON mode occurs, when the repeater automatic gain control reduces the repeater gain by 30 dB (maximum reduction), but the incoming signal is still very high and the output power is above the AGC forward parameter (an indication of increasing signal). If the condition described above lasts for more than 10 seconds, the repeater controller will shut down the power amplifier. The duration of the 10 shutdown cycle is set by default for 30 seconds, after which the PA is restarted. The repeater will not make more than ten attempts to restart in a time span of 100 minutes .If the RF condition triggers an eleven shutdown in that time span, then the unit will permanently shutdown When shutdown protection is activated, the shutdown red "OVP" LED on the front panel is blinking, and a shutdown alarm notification appears on the software application window.
