2 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
2.1 Aim of the document

This document provides an overview of the Compact Outdoor AC version.
The Alcatel-Lucent 9312 Compact Node B (9312 Compact) offers wireless operators a cost-
effective entry into the UMTS market for areas where site selection is a difficult task. It is
particularly suited to the macro-cellular application with up to 3 sectors configuration. It
introduces Alcatel-Lucent very latest technology evolutions to deliver a high capacity
configuration in a very small footprint, with significant improvements on energy savings.
The 9312 Compact offers a unique carry to site, all inclusive and fully integrated solution for
macro coverage. This product comes initially in an Outdoor configuration AC power supply.
2.2 Physical Overview
2.2.1 Main Characteristics
Figure 1 - Cabinet Overview

7 / 26
The Compact Outdoor has been specially designed for coverage within constraining
environments:
• It can be deployed in outdoor environments with an enhanced operating

temperature range (-40°C ... +55°C). No need for site support cabinet when
Battery backup time required is <1hour for a STSR1 configuration.
• Dense areas, where site acquisition is difficult for regular size macro NodeB.
• Easier site acquisition/installation due to its low volume and footprint. No need
to crane the cabinet when depopulated. Volume/footprint are reduced by more
than 65% compared to a Macro Outdoor NodeB
• Power consumption is reduced to its minimum with a high efficient cooling system
with damper and TRDU. This gives up to 33% power savings in normal operation
and up to 71% during the cold start up of the cabinet.
• Best in class from a TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) point of view.
• This Compact NodeB can be used in association with RRH or with an extension
cabinet to achieve 6 sector configurations (future).
• This Compact NodeB uses the standard UMTS Modules (xCEM-U, xCCM-U, TRDU 40W
then TRDU 60W) to facilitate spares management.
• Capacity density is one of the highest offered on the market for this type of form
factor with support of up to 1024 channel element (DL and UL) and more than 80
Mbps HSPA throughput.
• The 9312 Compact is hardware ready for IP backhauling introduction.

3.4 Power System

The Compact outdoor is powered from an AC voltage (Single/split phase), a terminal block
provides the connectivity of the AC cable.
The AC interface module is the ADU. It provides EMI filters, main breaker & surge protection.
The cabinet may be connected to the followings networks:
• 230VAC, single phase, Two wires (Phase, Neutral) plus protective earth (208/240VAC -
10%/+6%) 45-65Hz.
• 120/240VAC, split phase Europe, Three wires (Phase 1, Phase 2, Neutral) plus
protective earth (208/240VAC -10%/+6%) 45-65Hz.
The AC power networks shall be TT or TN-S. However, the NodeB shall suffer no irreversible
damage when it is wrongfully connected to an IT or TN-C power network.
The NodeB shall operate at full performances across the voltage range [180V; 264V] and the
frequency range [45Hz; 65Hz].
Please find below some examples of power consumptions and battery backup time in function
of some configurations (xCEM-U, xCCM-U and TRDU 40W 2100MHz).

Note: Typical Power consumptions provided assume external temperature at 25°C,

Maximum assume in all the temperature range
In case batteries are charging, the max DC power consumption is 1600W with one rectifier or
2000W when the configuration is equipped with 2 rectifiers, thanks to the input current
limitation.
In case heaters are on (during the cold start up or when temperature is lower than 0°C and
equipments power consumption is lower than 800W ), the Max DC power consumption is
800W (cf Environmental cooling system chapter).
The power supply consumption, based on the TRDU output power and some measurements,

3.4.1 Environmental Cooling System

The Environmental Cooling System is fully integrated into the cabinet. An electronic
monitoring unit monitors the environmental functions of the environmental cooling unit.
This unit senses the internal cabinet air temperature and then selects the level of
environmental control necessary to maintain full operational performance of the electronic
equipment installed within the cabinet.
In addition a heater is integrated in the cabinet for the cold start-up of the cabinet. The
heater is ON when the internal temperature is between -33°C and -5°C. As soon as Modules
are operating (internal temperature > -5°C), even if temperature is below 0°C outside,
heater is OFF thanks to the damper solution (except if the equipment power consumption is
lower than 800W).
As shown, the cooling air paths within the cabinet are:
• Air enters at the bottom of the cabinet thru the door

• The air is drawn through a filter (inside the door)to the cooling system
• It is distributed to the internal equipment in the cabinet
• It is exhausted from the cabinet through the top front section of the door.
In case external temperature is below 0°C, then the damper located on the door is closed
and the air inside the cabinet is recycled to avoid heaters activation and power dissipation.

3.4.3 Options supported

In addition to the mandatory modules, the following items can be added as option:
• User ico: Interconnection panel providing power supply to the OEM modules located in
the user space. It also provides connectivity for OEM alarms management.
• 16 External Alarms kit: The external alarm kit provides the connection and protection
against electrical disturbances of 16 external alarms and 6 remote controls (8 external
alarms and 3 remote control per cable shared on 2 cables), between the Compact and
a customer equipment. This module in integrated in the user space (half 19 inches)
together with the optional PCM lightning protection.
• PCM Lightning Protection kit: The kit provides secondary protection for the PCM Links.
This module in integrated in the user space (half 19 inches) together with the external
alarm kit.
• RETA: To enable the control of the antenna tilt remotely, a kit is available for the
Compact. This option is AISG compliant. The Central Control Unit is located in the
user space and linked to xCCM-U through site LAN connection and to TRDUs (AISG DC
power and RS485 links).
• TMA and AISG TMA: If the cable length between the cabinet and the antenna is
important, a tower mounted amplifier can be used to meet the noise figure
performance of the receiver chain. TMA Power supply and alarm management are
carried through RF antenna outputs of TRDU. The DC supply and alarm management is
done by TRDU in case of classical TMA or through AISG controller (CCU) in case of AISG
TMA. Alarms are monitored by the TRDU.
• Installation cables (AC, PCM, Alarms, optical fibres, RF jumpers).
• Installation kit on Floor (Plinth), wall or pole.
• Internal Battery backup.
