4.7 Antenna Specifications and Guidelines
Determine the antenna installation configuration, according to the transmission and coverage requirements and the installation
site conditions.
4.7.1 Authorized Antennas and Required Specifications
• Corning ONE™ RAU (Remote Access Unit) is equipped with an Omni Directional integrated antenna; 0 dBi (15 deg. down
from horizon)
• Corning ONE™ RAU5 (5 Band Remote Access Unit) requires external broadband antenna. RAU5 can be ordered with
Corning ONE preassembled external antenna enclosure.
• External antennas - No limitation on any vendor of available external antennas with respect to the following requirements:
• Omni Directional or Directional
• Supported frequency range: wideband antennas supporting a range of 700 MHz to 2600 MHz
• Gain: up to 12.5 dBi
• Impedance: 50 Ohm
• Return Loss: +12 dB
• Number of antennas that can be connected (with cables/splitters) – it is not recommended to connect more than one
antenna per connector since 1:1 connectivity is reduced with each split.
• Types of couplers/splitters – depends on number of splits (not recommended)
4.7.2 General Installation Guidelines
• The RAU should be installed at a convenient location, free of metallic obstruction (can also be installed in plenum spaces).
• Install the RAU at the designated height and tune it roughly toward the service coverage area.
• Installation of this antenna must provide a minimum separation distance of 20 cm from any personnel within the area.
• Cable and jumper loss is at least 2 dB.
