1 Introduction Corning CORE System MA2000 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.
1.2 MA2000 System Architecture The MA2000 solution comprises both headend and remote end equipment providing an end-to-end comprehensive system solution. Note: Third-party equipment is sold separately (i.e. cabling, antennas). At the head-end Corning CORE System 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.
1.2.1 Headend Equipment At the headend Corning CORE System 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.
1.3 Application Examples Figure 1-3 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 RHUs. Additional BUs are required for connection to more RUs.
Figure 1-4 shows an example of an MA2000-Lite based solution. Four services from two different operators are distributed. The converted optical signal is routed from the BUs directly to the corresponding RUs over optic fiber. Services 1 and 2 are distributed through one of the RUs supported by MA2000-Lite. Services 3 and 4 are distributed through the second RU. The combiner and filter provides interface to the antennas.
1.4 System Monitoring and Management The MA2000 system elements are centrally managed via the CORE SC-450 Controller. The elements are displayed in a hierarchal corresponding to their physical connections in the topology tree of the Management GUI. The following shows the Configuration tabs of the selected BU and RHU. Refer to the SC-450 Controller User Manual for information on how to configure and manage MA2000 elements.

Please also refer to the Laser Safety section in the document Preface. • Use only 8-degree SC/APC connectors (green color). • Use only fusion splice for connecting two fibers. • Fiber optic cables require proper handling. Do not stretch, puncture, or crush the fiber cable(s) with staples, heavy equipment, doors, etc.
3.8 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 pathloss. 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. Table 3-1.
3.9 Antenna Specifications and Guidelines Determine the antenna installation configuration, according to the transmission and coverage requirements and the installation site conditions. 3.9.
3.12 Power Consumption, Connections and Power Supplies 3.12.1 Power Safety Instructions SAFETY WARNINGS • When installing or selecting the power supplies: • Be sure to disconnect all power sources before servicing. • 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.
3.13 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.
