• Introduction
MobileAccessHX WCS is a mid-power, remote solution designed to be integrated into existing MobileAccess1000
(MA1000) and MobileAccess2000 (MA2000) Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) already deployed in the field. It
is a fiber fed, compact unit which provides support for the WCS 2300 MHz band and is designed to complement
the MA1000/MA2000 and other MobileAccessHX flavors while enhancing RF open space coverage for large-
scale public venues such as campuses, stadiums, convention centers, hotels, airports and train stations.
Using low-loss fiber optic cabling, remote units can cover distances of up to 12.75 mi (2 km) from the BTS signal
sources at the headend. HX WCS requires minimum addition of hardware to the headend (WCS BTSC) and
utilizes existing fiber and antenna overlay. HX WCS MIMO takes full advantage of MIMO technology by using
spatial multiplexing to deliver higher spectral efficiency and preventing the degradation of quality while
significantly increasing throughput on the same spectrum.

1.2 System Architecture
MobileAccessHX WCS provides a complete solution consisting of HX remote unit(s) at the remote locations and
headend elements.
In the downlink, at the headend, the BTS or BDA signal is conditioned by the RIU, ensuring a constant RF level.
The conditioned signal is then converted by the Base Unit (BU) to an optical signal for transport over single or
multi-mode fiber to the HX remote unit, located at the remote location. In the uplink, the process is reversed.
The HX Remote Unit (SISO/MIMO) consists of a compact enclosure that houses the RF module, power elements
and the required interfaces. The RF module supports the WCS band. An interface duplexing port is located on the
remote to allow additional HX remotes to be connected so that the services from all HX remotes can be combined
into one antenna port.
The System Controller (SC-450 v7.2) enables local and remote management, as well as controls all MA1000,
MA2000, and HX elements from a single, centralized location.

1.3 System Monitoring and Management
The HX WCS remote unit is centrally managed via the SC-450 Controller (v7.2 and higher). Note that HX is not
directly connected to the controller. The HX is managed and configured via the BU to which it is connected
Figure 1-3 shows the Configuration tabs of the selected HX unit. Refer to the SC-450 Controller User Manual
(v7.2 and higher) for information on how to configure and manage the HX WCS remote unit.

1.9 Fiber Optic Requirements
1.9.1 Authorized Optic Cables
• Only single mode fiber can be used with HX WCS product
• 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 Corning specified patch cords
listed below.

1.9.2 Fiber Optic Rules
ATTENTION!
Please also refer to the laser safety section in the document preface.
• Fiber optic cables require proper handling. Do not stretch, puncture, or crush the fiber cable(s) with staples,
heavy equipment, doors, etc.
• Always maintain the minimum bending radius specified by the cable manufacturer. The minimum bend radius
is usually 10 times the cable's outer diameter. In the case of single optical fiber that is not in a cable, the
minimum bending radius to be observed is 30 mm.
• Use SC APC connectors (green color) 8 deg only.
• Pay special attention while connecting the SC APC connectors - ensure that you hear a “click”, indicating a
secure connection
• Use minimum splicing/connectors to achieve minimum losses on the fibers.
• 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 connectors should be cleaned prior to connecting to the system
• Fiber connector protective caps should be installed on all non-terminated fibers and removed just before they
are terminated.
• Check the fiber optic connections.

• Never look directly into the end of a fiber that may be carrying laser light. Laser light can be invisible and can
damage your eyes.
1.10 RF Coaxial Cable Guidelines
1.10.1 General Cable Installation Procedures
Note: The installer should be familiar with the ANSI/TIA/EIS-568 Cabling Standard guidelines.
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 may need to be concealed above the ceiling.
The cable must be properly supported and maintained straight using velcro cable ties, 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.
• All cables shall be weather-resistant type.
• Cable length - determined by the system installation plan. When calculating the cable length, take into
account excess cable slack so as not to limit the insertion paths.
1.10.2 RF Rules
• Use coax RG-223, 50 ohm, for RF connections between HX units and DAS antennas.
• When using the Corning 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 700 MHz to 2600 MHz
• Terminate all unused HX RF ports with a 50 ohm load
• Make sure that the VSWR measured at the coax cable meets the product specification The VSWR must be
measured prior to terminating the HX RF ports in the remote communication rooms.
1.10.3 Coax Cable Lengths and Losses
Use the compatible jumper to connect the coax connector to the external antenna.
Note: The required distance between the antennas (installed in the ceiling) depends on the infrastructure and
calculated path-loss.

1.10.4 Cable Routing
Ensure all cables, e.g. power cable, feeder cable, optic fiber, commissioning cable, connecting are properly
routed and secured so that they are not damaged.
1.11 Antenna Specifications and Guidelines
Determine the antenna installation configuration, according to the transmission and coverage requirements and
the installation site conditions.
1.11.1 Authorized Antennas and Couplers
