Major Components Introduction 1.2.1 Major Components The major components of the Transportation FiberinMotion solution are described below: TBS (transportation base station) radios are OFDM/MIMO3x3, IP‐67 compliant outdoor units placed at fixed locations along the wayside and communicate with TMUs (Transportation Mobile Units) installed on board trains/metros so as to ensure consistent and reliable broadband radio coverage. Each TBS is connected to an Ethernet switch, which is connected in turn to the wired backhaul network. The TBSs are synchronized to a common time base to avoid potential mutual radio interferences and allow fast handover. 250 mm 280 mm Antenna PoE SFP connections 75 mm Figure 1‐3: TBS unit TBS antennas Although there are many different types of antennas (see Appendix A, Antenna Guidelines for a list of antennas), we recommend using flat dual polarization and single polarization antennas per each direction. This allows a total of 6 RF chains to be connected, while minimizing the number of antennas. Figure 1‐4: TBS antenna FinM Installation Guide Rev. 0.9 Release 4.5.25 1‐4...
Major Components Introduction TMU TMU (transportation mobile unit) radios operate on‐board, and transmit to/receive from TBSs installed on wayside poles or walls to provide communication connections for on‐board equipment such as routers and WiFi devices. Two TMUs (best practice) are installed on the train (one at each end), are connected to the train internal network, and maintain continuous communications link with the relevant TBS. The TMU to TBS connection establishes an Ethernet broadband network between the train and the core network, which can be used for Uplink/Downlink based services. 230 mm 275 mm Antenna (RF) connections 40 mm Figure 1‐5: TMU radio FinM Installation Guide Rev. 0.9 Release 4.5.25 1‐5...
Major Components Introduction TMU antennas Each TMU is connected to 3 shark‐fin antennas installed on the train roof pointing to the driving direction (see Appendix A, Antenna Guidelines for a list of antennas) : Figure 1‐6: Shark‐fin antenna for Shark‐fin antennas installed on train The ISU (Indoor Synchronization Unit) provides a master clock to all TBSs, and is connected to one of the wayside network switches. Figure 1‐7: Indoor Synchronization Unit FinM Installation Guide Rev. 0.9 Release 4.5.25 1‐6...
Major Components Introduction OSUs (Outdoor Synchronization Unit), encased in a similar form factor as the TBSs, are outdoor devices that receive a GPS clock signal and distributes this over the wayside network. The OSUs are connected to one of the wayside network switches. If there is a GPS failure, the OSUs act as an ISU and provide the internal clock to the TBSs. Figure 1‐8: Outdoor Synchronization Unit FinM Installation Guide Rev. 0.9 Release 4.5.25 1‐7...
Accessories Introduction GSUs (GPS Synchronization Unit) are outdoor devices that receive a GPS clock signal and distributes this over the wayside network. Figure 1‐9: GPS Synchronization Unit 1.2.2 Accessories You will also need some of the following accessories: • Lightning protector unit ‐ for use with outdoor products • CAT‐6 cables ‐ various lengths for use with radios and PoE devices • Grounding cables • Additional mounting kits for the antennas and PoEs ‐ each antenna and each external PoE installed on a pole needs a mounting kit. Lightning Protection Unit (LPU) RADWIN recommends using LPUs when installing outdoor products. Figure 1‐10: Lightning Protection Unit (LPU) FinM Installation Guide Rev. 0.9 Release 4.5.25 1‐8...
Synchronization Introduction Power‐over‐Ethernet devices can be used to supply both power and network communications to the TBS, TMU, and the OSU/ISU/GSUs. RADWIN provides different types of AC/DC PoE injectors in several power ranges. If M12 cabling must be used on board, a special PoE‐TMU cable is available from RADWIN. PoE for the TMU Outdoor PoE Indoor PoE (ruggedized, with M12 connections) Figure 1‐11: PoE Units Alternatively RADWIN TBS/TMU/OSU can be connected directly to a standard 802.3at (PoE+) device. It is always advised to consult with RADWIN professional services for the best power solution for your project. 1.2.3 Synchronization • The TBS's network is synchronized either via GPS‐based system (for above ground sce‐ narios) or via Ethernet‐based synchronization (for above or underground scenarios). • For GPS based synchronization, the TBS’s integrated GPS Synchronization Unit is used. If this is not possible, the GSU can be used. • Ethernet‐based synchronization runs over the same data backhaul network. The imple‐ mentation of the synchronization protocol is via an Indoor Synchronization Unit (ISU) or Outdoor Synchronization Unit (OSU) that is connected to one of the network switches, and provides the master clock to all TBSs in the network. • OSU is a fully outdoor unit with an embedded GPS antenna as well as an external GPS antenna port (to be used if an external GPS antenna is needed), and can con‐ nect to the network via fiber optic. • The OSU and ISU work in the same manner, with one important difference: The OSU can receive a GPS signal as the synchronization source. • Using multiple OSUs enables synchronization of a ring topology, each OSU synchro‐ nizing a section of the ring. • Redundant synchronization units ensure higher resiliency of the solution.

Chapter 2: Site Installation 2.1 Scope of This Chapter This chapter describes how to install the equipment for the Transportation FiberinMotion solution. It is divided into two main sections: • Wayside installation • On‐board installation 2.2 Wayside The FiberinMotion solution uses multiple antennas to enable MIMO and Diversity modes. The solution relies on antenna spacing, as well as dual polarization / dual slanted antennas to differentiate the radio streams. 2.2.1 Overview General Mounting Arrangement The TBS unit must be installed in a Restricted Access Location. The TBS can be mounted on a pole or a wall, together with its antennas and LPUs. To enable better MIMO conditions, the antennas should be divided between vertical and horizontal polarizations. Figure 2‐1 shows an example of a TBS mounted on a pole • Place the tower/TBS at the location determined by the site survey. • Make sure there is sufficient line‐of‐sight towards the track segment the antennas will cover • Make sure that there are no obstacles directly in front of the antennas • The lowest antenna must be higher than the highest rail car on the line • There are several ways you can orient the TBS antennas, depending on the orien‐ tation of the TMU antennas. These options are detailed in see TMU ‐ TBS antenna alternative orientation options on page 2‐47. FinM Installation Guide Release 4.5.25 2‐1...
