In addition, two QX units can be cascaded to provide various combinations of SISO and MIMO services. MA2000 QX remotes share a common equipment headend and element management system (EMS) with other remotes on the MA1000/MA2000 platform. Management and configuration options are provided for each QX service module (i.e., RHM and AO) and for the QX chassis fans via a web session to the SC-450 controller.
· MA2000 QX - each QX unit provides coverage for four RF services (e.g. CELL, PCS, LTE 700 MHz, and AWS3) via two types of service dedicated internal modules (RHM and AO). Each of these modules is monitored via the controller as an independent unit: ·...
