Purpose Mobile telephone and public safety systems transmit signals in two directions between base transceiver station (BTS) and mobile stations (MS) within the signal coverage area to carry voice and data traffic. If weak signal transmissions occur within the coverage area because of indoor applications, topological conditions or distance from the transmitter, extension of the transmission range can be achieved by means of an optical distributed antenna system (DAS). Office buildings, sports arenas, college campuses, industrial parks, and other areas of high demand require the specialized capacity boost that an optical DAS can provide to meet increasing customer demands for voice and data. An optical DAS contains optical Master Units and a sufficient number of Remote Units to provide the necessary coverage. The number of the Remote Units depends on the coverage requirements of the DAS. The Remote Units are connected to the Master Unit with optical links. The Master Unit is the connection to the Base Transceiver Stations. The configuration of a Master Unit depends on the number of the Remote Units and the frequency range. RF signals are transported to and from the Remote Units via optical fibers. The ION-U system includes high power and low power Remote Units designed to meet the specific requirements of a given DAS. An ION-U Master Unit can support both high power and low power RUs simultaneously. 2.2. ION-U Low Power Remote Units The ION-U Low Power Remote Units are scalable and integrated with up to:

5-band (Cell700, LMR800, Cell850, PCS1900, AWS-3 1700/2100) or 6-band with additional Extension Unit (WCS2300 MHz) SISO capability. Two RUs can be operated as a pair for MIMO operation. These units are compatible with analog, GSM, EDGE, IS-95, CDMA2000, EVDO, W-CDMA, HSDPA, LTE and iDEN modulation standards. These Remote Units feature independent downlink and uplink gain adjustments and an integrated channel power detector for in-band spectrum and PIM analysis and end-to-end auto leveling.

Fiber:

Single mode fiber, type is 9.5/125 m Fiber-cable connectors LC/APC ION-U system:

Note:

Note:

The pigtails for the connection between Master Unit and Remote Unit must have a sufficient length. Protection for the optical fibers must be provided where the fibers feed into the units. The system attenuation of the optical fibers, including the connectors, must not exceed 5 dB. System attenuation and attenuation of optical components must be determined. This can be achieved by measuring attenuation with an appropriate measuring instrument. For pigtails, a total value of < 0.4 dB (measured to a reference plug) can be assumed due to the dead zone of the reflectometer. These measurements must be made with a sufficient length of optical fiber, at the input and output of the device which has to be measured. Page 48 MF0200A5C_ION-U_L_7_80-85_17EP_19P.docx Manual for ION-U 4. Commissioning Fiber-System Installation:

Fiber-cable connectors have to be of the same type (LC/APC) as the connectors used for the unit. The fiber-optic cables are connected to the optical transceiver. Notice: Angled connectors are not compatible with straight optical connectors; non-

compatibility of connectors will result in permanent damage to both connectors. Before connecting the fiber cables, follow the procedure below to ensure optimized performance. It is important for these procedures to be carried out with care:

Remove fiber-optic protective caps just before making the fiber connections. Do not leave any LC/APC connectors open as they may attract dirt. Unused optical connectors must always be covered by their caps. Do not bend the fiber-optic cable in a tight radius (< 5 cm) as this may cause damage to the cable and interrupt transmission. Using high-grade alcohol and lint-free cotton cleaning swabs, clean the end of the fiber-optic cable that will be inserted in the optical connectors on the donor interface box. Use a fiber end-face inspection tool to scan both, the class fiber and its surrounding area. Check for dirt on the cladding, chips/pits, dirt on the ferrule, and scratches. Connect the fiber-optic cables by inserting the cable end into the laser receptacle. Do not use any index-matching gels or fluids of any kind in these connectors. Gels are intended for laboratory use and attract dirt in the field. Notice: Care should be taken when connecting and disconnecting fiber-optic cables -

use the connector housing to plug or unplug a fiber. Scratches and dust significantly affect system performance and may permanently damage the connector. Always use protective caps on fiber-optic connectors not in use. Cleaning Procedure for Fiber-Optical Components:

Any contamination in the fiber connection results in additional optical transmission loss which could cause whole system failure. It is thus recommended that every fiber connector be inspected and cleaned prior to mating. The goal is to eliminate any dust or contamination and to provide a clean environment for the fiber-optic connection. MF0200A5C_ION-U_L_7_80-85_17EP_19P.docx Manual for ION-U Page 49 4. Commissioning When you clean fiber components, always complete the following steps carefully:

Caution: Laser radiation. Risk of eye injury in operation. Do not stare into the beam;

do not view it directly or with optical instruments. 1. Turn off the ION-U system (laser sources) before you inspect fiber connectors. 2. Check the connectors or adapters with a fiberscope before cleaning. 3. If the connector is dirty, clean it with a lint-free wipe (dry cleaning). 4. Inspect the connector. 5. If the connector is still dirty, repeat the dry cleaning technique. 6. Inspect the connector. 7. If the connector is still dirty, clean it with 99% isopropyl alcohol (wet cleaning) followed immediately with a dry clean in order to ensure no residue is left on the surface. 8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until surface is clean. Note: For a more detailed description, please refer to:
