Chapter 1. Introduction About MobileAccess 1000/1200™ MobileAccess™ 1000 family of products provides seamless coverage for voice and data wireless services in difficult indoor environments where steel, concrete and earth block RF signals, or in high-rise buildings where reception of multiple signals causes interference.
A third service can be added using a MobileAccess 1200 add-on or independent module. Wireless LAN services can also be added to the MobileAccess 1000 RHU by connecting the MobileAccess 840 add-on module. This provides wireless LAN signals to the antennas connected to the MobileAccess 1000 RHU.

MobileAccess™ 1000/1200 Introduction A block diagram of the MobileAccess™ system is given below. Figure 1-1. MobileAccess™ System Block Diagram The Base Units and controller (along with the power supplies and other elements required for interface) are usually installed in the same rack in the communication room, while the RHUs are distributed throughout the locations to be covered.
B) Using the MobileAccess 1200 add-on unit to provide an additional service In the second option, a MobileAccess™ 1200 add-on unit can be added in order to provide an additional service. The add-on unit can be Cellular, PCS, UMTS, 3G, or any future service.
C) Using the MobileAccess 800 WLAN module to provide access to high data-rate service In the third configuration, depicted below, the WLAN module (MobileAccess™ 800) is added. The WLAN module may also be added without the MobileAccess™ 1200 unit. Figure 1-4. MobileAccess 1000/1200 BU – RHU Plus Add-on Plus WLAN Configuration MobileAccess Models Table 1-1: MobileAccess™...

• Use coax RG223, 50ohm, male-to-male N-type for connecting RF side from the Base Unit to the BTS/RBS side. • When using the MobileAccess™ system in an environment in which other indoor coverage systems are installed, pay special attention to the isolation between antennas (distance must exceed 2 meter).
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. 2.2.1 Power Consumption of Units Table 2-1.

MobileAccess™ 1000/1200 3.2.3 Remote Hub Unit (RHU) 1000 Supports two different frequency bands depending on the RHU 1000 model. Output composite power per antenna port is in the range of 14 to 20 dBm (depending on the served protocol). In order to supply antenna alarms, the antenna must provide a DC resistance of up to 5K ohms.
Connections 3.2.3.1 Wall Mount RHU 1000 is usually mounted on a wall in a clean indoor environment – RF ports facing down. Assembly instructions 1. Place the unit against the wall and mark the four holes to be drilled in the wall.
RHU 1200 is supplied in two configurations: add-on and standalone. RHU 1200 add-on model is assembled onto the RHU 1000 model using the supplied bracket. RHU 1200 does not require any additional RF or optic infrastructure since all signals are received through the RHU 1000 unit to which RHU 1200 is assembled.

Which optical connector type does MobileAccess recommend for the highest performance network with long term reliability? Answer. We use the SC/APC connector for MobileAccess products and this is the connector that we would recommend in the building infrastructure as well. We have found that this connector is the optimal connector from a cost versus performance perspective for use with our products.
Page 44
If non-APC connectors are installed by the customer and provided for use with the MobileAccess System, future system performance may be impacted and issues resulting from a degradation of the fiber backbone performance are not warranted by MobileAccess. What skills and experience should I look for when choosing a fiber cable installer? Answer.
Page 45
There is a 12 degree angled APC polish available as well, but it is rare. This 12 degree angled polish is not compatible to MobileAccess equipment and should not be mated to an 8 degree APC. It is however acceptable for use in the fiber backbone.
