Node A Overview

1Strictly Private & Confidential


2/17

Flexibility

Up to 4 frequency bands in one housing

Up to 32 filter resources (channels) for flexible multi-site applications

Benefit: Flexible first time installation where frequency re-farming will be addressedwithout site visit!

RF Performance

Gain trailing with up to 30 dB per frequency group (BTS Site)

Node AM Features and Benefits


Blocking with up to -20 dBm input power without overdrive

Benefit: Stable and interference free coverage area!

Future Proof

Hardware designed for advanced modulation schemes

Available filter resources can follow future frequency spectrumBenefit: No additional costs or site visits necessary!

Input Spectrum

Output Spectrum

Indoor Onmi Antenna

Node A - Passive Solution Example


Indoor Flat Antenna

Outdoor Donor Antenna

Directional Couplers

Splitters

Plenum rated coaxialcable (HL4RP-50A)

Node A driving an optical distributed antenna system!

An excellent solution for high raised buildings and

long car or train tunnels


4/17

Node A picks up BTS signal and drives antennas

or leaky feeder cables

Node A Tunnel Application Example


For longer tunnels the Node A could beused as a Pick-up Repeater to drive anoptical distribution system based on theION platform.


5/17

On-the-fly digital filter rendering

Band selective or channelselective transmission to

minimize interferences

Individual gain setting peroperator to adapt different inputlevels and optimize output power

Node A - Flexibility (1)


Web based HTTP/Ethernet local connectivity

Native SNMP compatibility for OMC integration

Filters or groups can be easily

added/ changed locally orremotely

A universal tool Node A!


6/17

Node A Flexibility (2)

Available filter resources(up to 5 MHz each):Node A2 12Node A4 24

For sub-band bandwidths > 5 MHz the filterresources are grouped together without phase


All filter resources are centralized and canbe shared between all RF cards inserted inthe Node A rack


7/17

Integrated spectrum analyzer allows to measure input RSSI and outputpower on both links (Uplink and Downlink). Interferences can be detectedeven remotely where site visits were necessary previously.
