InterReach Fusion ® Installation

An InterReach Product Training Module

Objectives

• Describe the project steps when deploying Fusion

• Understand considerations for a DAS deployment

• Understand the Fusion systems inter-connections

Fusion – Installation Topics

• Main Hub & Expansion Hub chassis installations (mechanical installation)

• Cable and RAU installation

• RF source integration

3

• Turn up procedures / how to optimize

• System powering

• As built documentation

• Budgetary design – usually based on floor plans

– Determine which areas of the building require coverage

(entire building, public areas, parking levels, etc.)

– Determine the building’s construction materials (sheetrock, metal, concrete, etc.)

– Determine capacity requirements

In-Building Wireless Implementation

Scope of Work

– Determine capacity requirements

• Site survey– Confirm RF propagation– Determine locations for equipment – Confirm antenna locations– Measure interference thresholds– Confirm cable routes and lengths– Power– Security

In-Building Wireless Implementation

Scope of Work cont’d

• Final design quote• Installation• Commissioning & Acceptance

(including as-built drawings)

Facility and Installation Considerations –

Potential Cost Impacts

• Type of environment - Open layout, dense, mixed use

• Building’s construction materials (sheetrock, metal, concrete, etc.)• RF design goals (required strength of signal)• What type of cable infrastructure is installed and/or will be required?

– Is there dark fiber available?• Are there any special installation requirements?

– Is conduit required?

• How much conduit; Required in just the horizontals or everywhere?• How much conduit; Required in just the horizontals or everywhere?

• How large is the conduit; how many fibers; how long are the runs?

– Are there any fire code requirements?

• Building-code requirement or environmental need based on facility type• Working hours, access arrangements

Special Requirement - Application

Profiles

• Hospitals

– Tenting, Union and/or incumbent installer, conduit, core drilling, work hour restrictions, validation of drawings (lead-lined walls), proper definition of coverage requirements (e.g. Operating Rooms, boiler rooms, etc.).

• Campus

– Union and/or incumbent installer, validation of facility drawings and fiber map, conduit, work hour restrictions, core drilling, high lift

• Manufacturing• Manufacturing

– Union labor, conduit, work hour restriction, high lift

• Airport

– Union labor, Security clearance, conduit, work hour restriction, high lift

• Hospitality

– Work hour restrictions, historic architecture, union labor (regional)

• Corporate Office

– Union labor, conduit, work hour restriction

Fusion – HUB & RAU

Installation Considerations

• Fusion components are intended to be installed in indoor locations only or in protected housings.

• Provide sufficient airflow and cooling to prevent heat build-up from exceeding maximum ambient air temperature specification. Do not compromise amount of airflow required for safe operation of equipment.

• MH and EH can be mounted in 19 racks or wall mounted.• MH and EH can be mounted in 19 racks or wall mounted.

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside the components.

• The internal power supply has internal fuses that are not user replaceable. Consider maximum power consumption shown on product labels when provisioning AC power source and distribution.

– Main Hub: 30 W typical

– Expansion Hub (8 RAUs): 530 W max, 585 W max (tri-band RAU)

8

Fusion – HUB AC /DC Power

Considerations

• Fusion Hubs can be AC or DC powered

• AC / DC powering can be mixed between MH and EH

• MH and EH can be supported by most UPS

– UPS must generate a true sine wave output– UPS must generate a true sine wave output

– UPS weight dictates floor / rack mounting

– EH has the highest load, 530-585 Watts max.

– Always check Fusion specs for typical / max power

– MH and EH each have three dry contacts to monitor UPS

10

• Single Mode or Multi–Mode Fiber

• Use only SC/APC fiber connectors; Any other connector type will result in degraded system performance and may damage the equipment.

• SC/APC connectors are typically Green; Blue connectors are typically flat-polished connectors.

InterReach Fusion – Fiber Cable

Requirements

typically flat-polished connectors.

• The SC/APC connectors are required at any connector location throughout the entire fiber run, even interim distribution panels.

• Maximum Optical loss = 3 dB; measured at 1310 nm

• Reflection in the fiber generates noise which can cause performance issues

• Use fusion splicing for all fiber splicing.

11

InterReach Fusion – Fiber Cable

Requirements cont’d

• Fiber distances: • SMF: up to 6km / 3.7miles • MMF: up to 500m / 1640 feet

• When Connecting -

• Make sure that fiber ports and connectors are clean.

• Connect the Expansion Hub’s uplink fiber optic cable to the Main • Connect the Expansion Hub’s uplink fiber optic cable to the Main Hub’s uplink fiber port and the downlink cable to the downlink port

12

Fusion - Main Hub to RF Source Cabling

Measure RF power from BTS or BDA to ensure that power level does not exceed PPC limits. Exceeding the limit could cause permanent damage to the Main Hub.

Make sure that the signal level into the Main Hub, plus the system gain (0–15 dB) does not exceed the level listed in the power per carrier tables in Section 6 of the user manual.
