Voasis™ UMTS/DCS/PCS Installation and Configuration Manual 1
1 Overview
MobileAccess Voasis™ wireless coverage solution provides low-cost, self-installable
UMTS/PCS/DCS in-building coverage for small and medium size enterprises (SMEs), multi-tenant
buildings, and multi dwelling units.
The solution distributes the UMTS/PCS/DCS signal from the service provider’s equipment to
antennas (VAPs) installed throughout a single floor via the existing CAT-5/6 cabling
infrastructure.
The VAPs (Voasis™ Access Pods) plug into standard (spare) Ethernet connection points on the
floor and are powered via PoE technology. All the VAPs on each floor are managed via a VCU
(Voasis™ Control Unit) located in the communication shaft. The VCU interfaces to the provider’s
equipment and provides secure, central management to the VAPs.
This plug-and play UMTS/PCS/DCS coverage solution can be easily and quickly installed by the
SME – no RF specialist required.
The following figure illustrates a typical Voasis™ installation.

3 Infrastructure Requirements and Layout
Planning
3.1 General information on Location and Connections
• The Service provider’s RF equipment (Pico-cell, Femto-cell, BDA, etc.) is connected to the VCU
through a passive interface.
• The VCU is installed at the IDF/telco cabinet of the covered floor and connected to the cabling
patch panel.
• The RF signal is overlaid from the VCU to the VAPs (up to 12) onto the existing (
but not in
use
) Ethernet CAT-5/6 cabling infrastructure.
• The VAPs are spread over the floor for maximum coverage and can be mounted in various
ways – directly on the wall or on the desktop (or over the existing RJ-45 jack).
• No special power connections are required as the VAPs are power fed from the VCU using PoE
(power over Ethernet) technology.

Infrastructure Requirements and Layout Planning
8 Voasis™ UMTS/DCS/PCS Installation and Configuration Manual
3.2 Infrastructure Requirements
There is no need to deploy new infrastructure for connecting the VAPs to the VCU – you can
utilize the CAT-5E cables and Ethernet jacks that were prepared for your LAN (but are not
currently connected to an Ethernet switch), assuming they meet the following minimum
requirements:
1. IDF/telco closet space for one VCU (48.3 x 30 x 4.44 cm).
2. 110/220AC 60Hz (250W) power for the VCU (IDF/telco closet).
3. Ethernet cabling to VAPs:
• Minimum cabling - Category 5E cabling or better (Unshielded or Shielded Twisted Pair
(UTP/STP)).
• For CAT-5 cabling - 24 AWG minimum diameter
• CAT-5/6 cable run lengths - 100m (300ft) maximum
4. Cable Connections:
• 1x N-type Female, 50 ohm interfaces to carrier equipment.
• 13 RJ-45 connectors for 12 Voasis™ Access Pods (one for management)
5. RG6 distribution cables (if needed) - 100m (300ft) total length maximum.
3.3 Coverage and Installation Planning
The maximal coverage area of each VAP is affected by the density and type of environment to
be covered. Therefore, it is recommended to plan the
ideal
location of each VAP in order to
achieve complete coverage of the floor.
The
exact
location is selected according to the feasibility in the wanted VAP installation location,
where each unit may be mounted on a wall or placed on a desk.
This section provides information on coverage criteria in various types of environments (Open,
Standard, Dense and Merged) and provides rules-of-thumb for various installations of the VAPs.
Note: Section
3.4 provides a detailed example of installation planning in various types of
environment. It is recommended to review this example after reading this section.
Infrastructure Requirements and Layout Planning
Voasis™ UMTS/DCS/PCS Installation and Configuration Manual 9
3.3.1 Types of Environment
This section describes the different types of installation environments and provides guidelines for
best coverage of each type of space.
3.3.1.1 Open environment
An environment with minimum of obstacles (such as walls). This type of space can be a large
conference or meeting room, cubical areas, lobby or atrium areas.
Table
3-1: Open Environment Installation Distances
Signal Propagation from VAP 60 feet (20 m)
Recommend spacing between VAPs 120 feet (40 m)
Recommended maximum distance of
VAPs from outer walls 60 feet (20 m)
3.3.1.2 Standard Environment
A traditional office environment with offices, hallways and scattered cubicles.
Table
3-2: Standard Environment Installation Distances
Signal Propagation from VAP 40 feet (12 m)
Recommended Spacing between VAPs 80 feet (25 m)
Recommended Maximum distance of
VAPs from outer walls 40 feet (12 m)
3.3.1.3 Dense Environment:
A dense environment has a lot of walls, offices, equipment, tall file cabinets, bookshelves and
other items that would potentially impact the wireless signal.
Examples for this kind of environment are dense offices, hospitals and manufacturing spaces.
Table

Infrastructure Requirements and Layout Planning
10 Voasis™ UMTS/DCS/PCS Installation and Configuration Manual
3.3.1.4 Combination of Environments
In areas with combinations of environments of various densities, place the VAPs on the border
between the different types of areas – closer to the denser area.
For example in a cubical area with the outside wall having offices, simply locate the VAPs a little
closer
to the outside offices
to provide coverage through the office walls. (See VAPs 11 and 13 in
the floor plan map in section 3.4.3.)
To ensure a maximal coverage, VAPs can be moved or added. If a coverage gap is detected, the
VAPs can be re-placed until the coverage gaps are filled.
3.4 Planning VAP Layout
The following section describes the steps of planning the VAPs along the covered floor. At the
End of this section an example of a planning map is attached.
Note: It is highly recommended to use a floor plan when planning the VAPs locations.
3.4.1 Interference Factors
It is important to note the type of factors that can severely impact RF coverage which should be
avoided:
• Metallic structures like elevators, tall file cabinets and some moveable metallic partitions
severely degrade RF signal and all efforts should be made to locate VAPs in front of or above
metallic objects (desks, filing cabinets) to allow the signal to propagate.
• Wall materials such as concrete, tile and cinderblock along with bathroom fixtures typically
have fairly high signal attenuation and should be considered dense spaces.
• Some glass (typically exterior or mirrored) has metallic coatings on it which can affect RF
coverage however that is typically not encountered inside a building.
3.4.2 Mapping Locations
To map the VAP Locations
1. Map out the available locations: mark all the CAT-5/6 drops that are not in use locations on
the floor plan map.
TIP: It may be handy to use the size and number of the ceiling tiles to measure distances.
2. Using the floor plan and the VAPs coverage guidelines (as given in 3.4.3) mark
approximately where you would like to place each VAP in the facility.
If you are not sure of how dense should the VAPs be laid out, you can either choose a more
dense installation or a less dense one and add more VAPs if needed after installation.
Infrastructure Requirements and Layout Planning
Voasis™ UMTS/DCS/PCS Installation and Configuration Manual 11
3. After choosing all the jacks to be used, make sure that all the right jacks are connected to
the patch panel at the IDF/telco shaft.
4. It is also recommended to check the area in which the VAPs are about to be installed and
make sure that the installation is feasible.
5. Plan the IDF/telco shaft to hold the RF equipment (pico-cell/micro-cell or BDA) and the VCU.
3.4.3 Installation Plan Example
The Following figure shows a floor plan map with all needed marks:
Figure
3-2. Floor Plan Example
Notes:
• The red VAP coverage circles are approximately 30, 40 and 60 foot radius for the small,
medium and large circles respectively (drew according to the guidelines given in section 0).
• VAP 3 is surrounded by dense objects, the bathroom and stairwell which would reduce
coverage in that area by the other VAPs.
• VAP 5 is an example of a unit that provides good coverage down the hallways.
Infrastructure Requirements and Layout Planning
12 Voasis™ UMTS/DCS/PCS Installation and Configuration Manual
• VAPs 11 and 13 are placed closer to the offices to cover them well but on the open side will
actually cover a much greater area which is why the coverage is larger and shown here more
as an oval than a circle.
• The area between VAPs 7 and 14 outside the bathrooms would probably be the lowest
coverage spot in the building because of the bathrooms and stairwell on either side of that
area. If after the system installed, this area is still a little low on coverage, a VAP can be
added, but it may also be covered by VAP 14.
Note: The plan can be modified at any time by moving the units around or by adding units.
The following figure depicts an actual measured quantified coverage of a floor aria planed
according to the above rules

5.2 Placing the VAPs
It is preferable to place the VAPs on top of desks, cube walls, filing cabinets or higher on walls.
Note: Hiding a VAP under a desk or low down in a corner decreases the effective coverage of
the VAP and therefore requires a higher number of VAPs to cover a given area.
When placing the VAPs, take the following into consideration:
• Wherever possible, place the units in an open area.
• Availability of CAT-5/6 infrastructure - the VAPs are connected to the SPARE (not in use)
jacks).
• Aesthetics of the VAP location
• The VAPs plug into standard (RJ-45) Ethernet connection jacks.
5.2.1 Desktop mount
• Secure the Desk-mount adaptor to the Voasis™ Access Pod using the supplied screws.
• Connect the RJ-45 jumper cable (CAT-5/6) to the VAP.
• Place the VAP on a flat surface according to the planned location.
• Plug the other side of the cable into adjacent standard (RJ-45) Ethernet connection jack.
(the adaptor screws and cable are included in the VAP kit).
