    2.2. THE ION-M7P/17P (INTELLIGENT OPTICAL NETWORK; MMR) The ION-M7P/17P is a multi-band, multi-operator remote unit configuration used in conjunction with a master unit in the ION optical distribution system. This system transports up to two frequency bands simultaneously (700 MHz and 1700/2100 MHz), providing a cost-effective solution for distributing capacity from one or more base stations.
  • Page 15 Manual for ION™-M7P/17P (M-cab) & Subassemblies The ION can be easily set-up and supervised from a graphical user interface (GUI). Remote units are commissioned through the use of built-in test equipment. An auto levelling function compensates for the optical link loss making installation easy and quick.
