MobileAccess2000 series provides enterprise level indoor coverage, of a wide range of multi-
operator wireless services over a single broadband infrastructure. Front-end wireless RF services
are routed, over optic fibers, to MA2000 series hubs that are securely located in the
telecommunication closets at each remote location. These modular service aggregation platforms
precisely combine multiple wireless service signals for simultaneous distribution over a common
broadband infrastructure.
Two remote service hub models are available:
• MA2000-Lite – supports two remote units that are connected externally, where MA1200
Add-Ons and MA850/MA860 units can be integrated with the remote units.
MA2000 Cabinet (MRC) – internally houses a total of five remote units and MA1200 add-on
units with which MA850/MA860 can be integrated as an external assembly.
NOTE: MA2000 QSX unit is identical to the MA2000 TSX unit in addition to an Add-on service mounted
on top of the enclosure.
Figure 1-1. MA2000-Lite (left side) and MA2000 Cabinet (right side)
The supported units are:
• Remote Units (RUs) – Service specific modules that support up to two voice services and
perform the optic to RF conversion, filtering and amplification at the remote locations.
• MA1200 Add-On – Service specific module that provides support for an additional high
band voice service.
• MA850/MA860 – Module that supports data services
Features and Capabilities
• Multi-service platform that accommodates virtually any combination of wireless voice and
data services eliminating the need for separate overlay networks
• Scalable and future-safe – services can be added and removed without affecting existing
operators or end-users

Introduction to the MA2000 System MobileAccess2000 TSX System Architecture
MA2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 3
1.1 MobileAccess2000 TSX System
Architecture
The MobileAccess2000 TSX/QSX solution is comprised of the following elements. Third-party
equipment is sold separately (i.e. cabling, antennas).
1.1.1 Head-End Equipment
At the head-end MobileAccess elements provide interface to the wireless service provider’s
network, where the signals can be conditioned through an active interface and transported over
optic fiber to the remote end.
• Radio Interface Unit (RIU): The RIU conditions the RF Downlink (DL) signals from an
operator’s signal source (BTS: base-transceiver stations or BDA: bi-directional amplifiers)
located inside the building. The RIU then custom tunes incoming signals in order to ensure a
constant level of RF before signals are passed to/from the Base Unit (BU). RF Uplink (UL)
signals from subscribers’ phones are received from the BU and transported back to the
operator’s signal source (BTS or BDA) and to the operator’s macro network outdoors.
• Base Unit (BU): The BU converts RF Downlink (DL) signals received from the RIU into an
optical signal. This optical signal is then transported over single or multi-mode fiber optic
cabling (SMF/MMF) to/from the MobileAccess2000 TSX units, which are housed inside of
IDF/Telco/IT closets at the remote-end locations, for distribution throughout the facility.
Uplink (UL) signals from subscribers’ phones are received from the antennas and sent back
to the TSX units through the fiber connection to the head-end, where they are converted
back from RF optical to RF electrical before being passed on to the RIU.
• System Controller: The system controller enables centralized remote management and
control of all MobileAccess2000 elements.
1.1.2 Remote-End Equipment
• At the remote end, the optical signal is reconverted to RF, amplified, filtered and distributed
over the broadband antenna infrastructure.Service Combiner Unit (SCU): The Service
Combiner Unit is a passive module that combines and distributes the UL and DL signals from
all the M2000 TSX and/or MA2000 QSX to the broadband antenna.
• MA2000 TSX: The MA2000 TSX delivers coverage for three RF services over a common
fiber/coax antenna infrastructure. The output of multiple TSX units can be combined to
provide a full multi-service solution over a common fiber/coax antenna infrastructure. The
TSX comes pre-packaged with applicable filters and other required accessories to simplify
the ability to order, service, and install this solution.
• MA2000 QSX: The MA2000 QSX delivers coverage for four RF services (CELL, PCS, 700LTE
and AWS) over a common fiber/coax antenna infrastructure. The output of multiple QSX and
TSX units can be combined to provide a full multi-service solution over a common fiber/coax
antenna infrastructure. The QSX comes pre-packaged with applicable filters and other
required accessories to simplify the ability to order, service, and install this solution. The
sub-components of the QSX are equivalent to that of the TSX with an additional AO.
• MA2000 TSX/QSX Sub-components:
• Remote Hub Unit (RHU): The RHU is a services-specific module that performs RF
optical to RF electrical conversion on signals received from the BU. Signals are
automatically filtered and amplified for transport over broadband coax cable to a passive
Introduction to the MA2000 System MobileAccess2000 TSX System Architecture
MA2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 4
antenna. Uplink (UL) signals from the antennas are then converted to optical signals
before being transmitted back to the BU. Each pre-configured RHU supports up to two
services.
• Add-On Module (AO): The AO is a single service module coupled with an RHU to
deliver an additional, third service at a lower incremental cost. The AO receives RF signal
from the RHU and amplifies it for transport across the broadband coax.
For end-to-end control, controllers installed at the head-end provide direct interface to the MA
elements and through them, control over the remote end elements.
Introduction to the MA2000 System MobileAccess2000 TSX System Architecture
MA2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 5
Figure 1-2. System Architecture
Figure 13 shows a basic block diagram of the system operation. On the downlink, services from
the BTS/BDA are transferred via interface to the Base Units (BUs). The interface, which may be
passive (i.e. Interface Box) or active (RIU), is used to attenuate the RF signals to the required
levels, converge them and distribute them to the BUs.
The BUs are wideband – they are not
service specific.
At the BUs, the RF signals are converted to optical signals and transmitted over the optic fiber to
(service-specific) RUs at the remote locations. At the remote locations, the RUs supported by the
hub (MRC or Lite) reconvert the optical signal to RF. The hub elements converge the voice
services together with 802.11 a/b/g data services (if MA850/MA860 units are installed) and
distribute them over the coax antenna infrastructure. The MA SC-450 (in installations with
remote management) provides monitoring and control of all active system elements.Application
Examples
Figure 14 shows an example of an MA2000 Cabinet based solution. Five services from two
different operators are distributed, where services from Operator A conflict with those from
Operator B.
The converted optical signal is routed from the BUs directly to the corresponding RUs in each
Cabinet over optic fiber. Each BU supports connections to 8 RUs. Additional BUs are required for
connection to more RUs.
Services 1 and 2 are distributed through one of the RUs supported in each Cabinet. Services 3, 4
and 5 are distributed through the second RU and the MA1200 unit connected to that RU.
MA850 and MA860 converge 802.11a/b/g data services with the voice services to be distributed
through a common infrastructure of coax and wideband antennas.

3.1 Infrastructure Preparation
This following installation rules are based on the assumption that site survey and installation
planning (
including power requirements
) have been completed.
3.2 Installation Requirements
The infrastructure preparation consists of two main phases:
A. Floor Planning: Planning the distribution of the antennas on each floor to provide the
required coverage.
B. Telecom Closet Planning: Planning the layout of the devices and cables in the telecom
closet or shaft. This includes the MA850/MA860, 802.11 Access Points, cabling and other
voice service distribution systems that are relevant to the specific installation.
3.3 Coaxial Cable Connections
3.3.1 General Cable Installation Procedures
Observe the general cable installation procedures that meet with the building codes in your area.
The building code requires that all cabling be installed above ceiling level (where applicable).
The length of cable from the risers to each antenna must be concealed above the ceiling.
The cable must be properly supported and maintained straight using tie-wraps, cable trays and
clamps or hangers every 10 feet (where practical above ceiling level). Where this is not practical,
the following should be observed:
• The minimum bending radius of the supplied ½” coax cable should be 7”.
• Cable that is kinked or has a bending radius smaller than 7” must be replaced.
• Cable runs that span less than two floors should be secured to suitably located
mechanical structures.
• The cables should be supported only from the building structure.
Installation Guidelines Coaxial Cable Connections
MA2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 24
3.3.2 RF Rules
• Use coax RG223, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type for RF connections from the BUs to the
BTS/RBS and to the RIU.
• When using the MobileAccess system in an environment in which other indoor coverage
systems are installed, it is recommended (where possible) that the antennas are placed
at least two meters apart
• When bending coax cables, verify that the bending radius does not exceed the coax
specifications.
• Use wideband antennas supporting a range of 800Mhz to 2500Mhz
• Use a VSWR meter (i.e. Site Master or equivalent) for checking coax cables, including
the antennas. (<2). The VSWR must be measured prior to terminating the RUs in the
remote communication rooms
• Terminate all unused RU and RIU ports with a 50 ohm load
3.3.3 Coax Cable Lengths and Losses
Use coax ½”, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type, for connecting to RHU and antenna ports.
NOTE: The required distance between the antennas (installed in the ceiling) depends on the infrastructure
and calculated path-loss. For example, if there is free space-loss between the antennas, a minimum
distance of 100 ft is required; if there are partitions (loss) between the antennas, a distance of less than
100 ft between them is allowed.

Installation Guidelines Fiber Optic Rules
MA2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 25
3.4 Fiber Optic Rules
• Either single mode or multimode fiber can be used with MobileAccess2000M products,
while MobileAccess2000 products can only be used with single mode fiber.
• Only Multimode fiber, 50/125 or 62.5/125um complying with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B series,
EN50173-1 or ISO/IEC 11801 can be used. The fiber length can be up to 300 meters
assuming the following qualifications:
§ All fiber in a given length of fiber must be of the same core diameter.
§ All Bulkhead adapters must be Single mode SC/APC (Green) adapters.
§ All terminations cross connections or patches must be direct fusion splice or
MobileAccess specified patch cords listed below.

• Use only 8-degree SC/APC connectors (green color).
• Use only fusion splice for connecting two fibers.
• Use minimum splicing/connectors to achieve minimum losses on the fibers (<0.5dB).
• Use precaution while installing, bending, or connecting fiber optic cables.
• Use an optical power meter and OTDR for checking the fiber optic cables.
• Make sure the environment is clean while connecting/splicing fiber optic cables.
• All fiber optic connections should be cleaned prior to attaching to termination points
using a dry cleaning device (i.e. Cletop or equivalent).
• Fiber connector protective caps should be installed on all non-terminated fibers and
removed just before they are terminated.
• Verify the Fiber Optic connections.
• Pay special attention while connecting the SC/APC connectors - you must hear the “click”
when the connection is made.

SAFETY WARNINGS
• When installing or selecting the power supplies:
• Be sure to disconnect all power sources before servicing.
• SC-450 Controller lithium type battery should only be replaced by MobileAccess service
personnel. Risk of exploding if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose
of used batteries according to the instructions.
• Calculate the required power according to the requirements of the specific installation
and then determine the configuration of the power supplies. The required DC cables will
then be determined by the selected PS configuration.
• Use only UL approved power supplies
• AC and DC power supply cables – only use the power cords supplied with the units
• Battery replacement in units - only the SC-450 controller has batteries. These should
be replaced (when necessary) only by MA Service Personnel.
• Install external over-current protective devices for the system according to the
requirements described in section 3.5.2.

3.5.3 Circuit Breakers
Install fuse protections for the system according to the following criteria:
Installation Guidelines Installation Conventions
MA2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 27
• The following system elements require external fuse protection: RIUs, BUs, and SC-
450 Controllers.
• Referring to Table 3-1, calculate the required fuse protection.
• Example: a set of three elements consisting of a BU, RIU and SC-450 controller
requires a 2A circuit breaker.
3.5.4 Types of Power Supplies
MobileAccess supplies various power supplies that can be installed in a rack or mounted on a
wall, depending on your configuration.
3.6 Installation Conventions
Some of the basic installation conventions are listed below for the MA 2000 system:
• Base Units – are usually concentrated in the same location, most often in the main
communication room.
• Remote Cabinet/Lite – usually placed in the communication shaft or closet of a
corresponding floor so they can be easily located. Each cabinet (or MA2000-Lite) can
typically cover a floor of up to 30,000 sq ft.
• Fiber optic cable - bundled fibers are terminated into the Base Units in the main
communication room. The fibers are then routed to each coverage locations where
individual fibers terminate into splice boxes. The splice box couples the installed fiber
into the remote units. Enough spare fibers should be installed to take into account
future expansion of the system.
For example, for three remote units, six fibers are required. However, to allow for future
expansion, it is recommended to install additional optic fibers to be connected to additional
RUs.
Continued on the following page...
Installation Guidelines Installation Conventions
MA2000 Installation and Configuration Guide 28
The following figure illustrates fiber optic routing to Remote Cabinets.
Figure 3-1. Illustration of Fiber Optic Routing
• For remote power supply configuration - cable bundles are routed from the main
communication room and individual wire pairs are terminated into the power feed of
individual units.
By providing power from a single distribution point, maintenance can be reduced and UPS
backup can be easily provided. The maximum distance from the source to the termination
spot is 1000 feet using 18 gauge wires.
In many locations local codes do not require power to be run through conduit if 100 watts or
less is used. Please consult the regulations in your local jurisdiction prior to deploying
remote power. When power cables require distances greater than 1000 feet 14 or 16 gauge
wire may be used.
• On each floor - the antennas are connected to the Remote Cabinet or MA2000-Lite system
using coax cables.

This chapter describes how the communication room and cabinet are installed. The individual
system elements and connections are described in the Chapter 2.
NOTE: Be sure to read the installation requirements (see
3.2) and Power Consumption related instructions
(see
3.3.3) before proceeding with the actual connections.
4.1 Pre-installation Instructions
In order to describe the installation process clearly, it will be described as consisting of two
logical parts:
A. Telecommunications room – installing the RIUs, BUs, SC-450 controller, and
the required
passive equipment
in the telecommunication room close to the RF
signal source. This installation may differ between single and multi-building
topologies.
B. Remote locations – two types of installations:
• MRC Cabinet
• MA2000-Lite
The installations for two basic topologies are described in detail: for single building and for multi-
building. By understanding the two generic installations you will be able to address any
variations in system deployment.

MobileAccess2000 provides an entry level cost effective solution for current services and
support for future services from the same or different operators. Support for additional bands is
implemented by an RU module and RU specific hardware designed to prevent interference with
other existing bands in the coverage area.
For support for additional services, connect the corresponding RU and hardware (Cavity Filter,
Duplexer, etc.) to the 8x4 Module and to the external coax infrastructure.
NOTE: It is required to order an Accessory Kit for each new unit to be added to the installation. The kit
includes cables for connecting the MA2000 RU or MA1200 Add-On units to the required filters. Because of
the differences in cable length requirements, the accessory kit differs for units designated to be installed in
2000 Cabinets and for those designated to be installed with MA2000-Lite systems.
This chapter provides several examples of the most common configurations and their
connections. As systems are expanded for additional services, refer to the provided diagrams for
a description of the connections between the Remote Units (referred to as RHU 2000), the
interface devices (Filters, etc.) and the 4x8 Combiner.
