LTE700 Site Solution

Prepared by Ibrahim Shibli, Tamer Alborhamy

Version-1.
 Scope introduction
1. LTE700 Sites will be added with the existing LTE1800 & LTE2100.
2. New CommScope antenna (16 Ports) will be installed and replace all existing antennas.
3. New Huawei antenna (16 Ports) will be installed and replace all existing antennas.
4. In case of Site has Penta antenna installed , will connect L700 only on the new 16 ports
antenna.
5. For L700 collocated with L1800 or L2100 , the existing system module (FSMF MR10) + one Flexi
baseband Extension module (FBBC) will be added for more fibers and baseband capacities.
6. New RF modules (FRPA)will be installed for LTE700.
7. In case of wall mounted sites for LTE1800 & LTE2100 will install 3 RF modules (FRPA) each will
be connected with 1 fiber cable from System module.

Installation Scenario
Scenario 1: Site with LTE1800 or LTE2100 for sharing sites using Octa antenna with 3 sets of installation :
• Set1 : Site installed with 1 LTE700 RF Module.

• Set2 : Site installed with 2 LTE700 RF Module ( 2 Sectors are far from the 3rd sector)

• Set3 : Site installed with 3 LTE700 RF Module ( Wall mount Site )

Scenario 2: Site with LTE1800 or LTE2100 for sharing sites using Huawei antenna with 3 Sets of installation
• Set1 : Site installed with 1 LTE700 RF Module.

• Set2 : Site installed with 2 LTE700 RF Module ( 2 Sectors are far from the 3rd sector)

• Set3 : Site installed with 3 LTE700 RF Module ( Wall mount Site )

Notes to be considered :
• Additional 150 Mbps will be added to the existing Bandwidth of either L1800 or L2100 based on site type.
• 6Gbit fiber cables should be used with 6Gbit SFP.
• Special Pre-fabricated jumpers for Octa antenna will be used (4.3-10 Female).

 Installation Guidelines
1. Label all jumpers that are connected to the existing technologies before dismantling to avoid any sectors swap in
case of Roll-back situation.
2. Dismantle all the existing antennas and jumpers from the tower and replace it with the new CommScope antenna
following the azimuth from SCO.
3. Install the new RF module for LTE700 (FPRA) with 2 SFPs.
4. RET cable should be connected to FPRA RF module and detected from LTE700 System module whether its
collocated with L1800 or L2100.
5. In case of outdoor sites , Install the new AC/DC converter FPMA.
6. RF module’s electricity (FPRA) will be derived from FPFD card or from rectifier depends on power options
availability.
7. After installing CommScope antenna , Install all jumpers for all existing technologies ; plus LTE700 as per the color
code.
8. Install FBBC card for LTE1800/2100 system module (FSMF) with 2 SFP for RF connection.
9. connect 2 fibers from system module to RF module (FBBC card OPT1 – RF module OPT1 ) (FBBC card OPT2 – RF
module OPT2 ) in case of 1 RF module is used
10. connect 1 fiber from system module to each RF module (FBBC card OPT1 – RF module1 OPT1 ) (FBBC card OPT2
– RF2 module OPT1 ) in case of 2 RF module is used
11. connect 3 fibers from system module to each RF module (FBBC card OPT1 – RF module1 OPT1 ) (FBBC card
OPT2 – RF module2 OPT1 ) (FBBC card OPT3 – RF module3 OPT1 ) in case of 3 RF module is used
