1.5 MC-Series Standard Capacity system Configuration
The MCSC system is configured with three sectors. Configurations are summarized
in Table 1.2.
Table 1.2 Sectorization and Maximum BR Allocation
The MCSC system includes the following RadioFrame Networks hardware:
• Airlink BTS Interface Chassis (ABIC) is the interface to the iSCIII and routes
Ethernet traffic for up to three sectors. It also performs the digital receive and
transmit function for each RadioBlade® transceiver and provides the common
timing source for the DRBS.
• The Diversity RadioBlade Shelf (DRBS) supports up to eight RadioBlade
transceivers.
• iDEN RadioBlade transceivers insert into slots in the DRBS; each multi-
channel RadioBlade (MCRB) transceiver corresponds to up to six iDEN
carriers in the 800E MHz band.
• Three RF Shelfs provide Rx-Tx amplification, filtering, and distribution between
the DRBS and external equipment.
• Power Distribution Unit (PDU) distributes DC power and provides overcurrent
protection to each component in the MCSC system cabinet.
The MCSC system requires the installation of the following non-RadioFrame
Networks hardware:
• Two integrated Site Controllers (iSCIII).
• Environmental Alarm System (EAS) provides additional external alarming as
required.
• Channel Service Unit (CSU) single-rack unit RU), high multi-purpose cross-
connect, with the ability to aggregate multiple types of traffic onto a single T1/
E1 for backhaul to the MSO.
• DC power source
