LTE947: FSMF Flexi Multiradio 10 System Module

Introduction to the feature
Flexi Multiradio BTS System Module FSMF is a highly integrated 3U high outdoor
System Module of the Flexi Multiradio BTS. It hosts the telecom control, system operation and maintenance, baseband application, transmission, and power distribution functionality. The System Module can be also equipped with optional capacity extension
sub-modules which bring additional signal processing power and/or allow the system to
support different radio access technology. Adding the capacity sub-modules in the field
does not affect ongoing traffic.
The System Module can also act as a System Extension Module operating in a
baseband extension mode. Flexi Multiradio BTS architecture supports chaining up to
nine System Modules enabling to build very high capacity sites and different redundancy
solutions.
Flexi Multiradio System Module hardware supports the following software operating
modes:

5.4.1

GSM/EDGE mode
WCDMA mode
LTE in FDD and TDD mode

Benefits
End-user benefits
This feature does not affect the end-user experience.
Operator benefits
The FSMF is a successor of the FSMD and FSME System Modules providing enhanced
capacity, connectivity and expansion possibilities in the same form factor. FSMF is IP
ingress protected and operates at the temperature range from -35 to + 55 C.

Functional description
Functional overview
Optional integrated FPFD outdoor sub-module is a size optimized power distribution unit
(PDU). It is located at the top left of the outdoor Flexi Multiradio System Module.
It can be used for stacked configuration and feederless configuration the same way as
earlier Flexi integrated Power distribution units. In feederless configuration FPFD can be
used with optional Over Voltage Protection units (OVP with FSEC or FSES).
It can be installed together with new Flexi Multiradio System Module in one 3U casing.
FPFD Power distribution sub-module provides four external -48 V DC outlets for Flexi
Modules (RF Module, RRH, or external System Module) or any standard 48 V DC device
at site and one internal DC output to System Module itself.

The FPFD has integrated basic Over Voltage Protection on input (OVP Type approval
level with +/- 1 kV (L-L) 8/20 s and +/- 2 kV (L-N) 8/20 s), EMC filtering and reverse
polarity protection. It protects the connected units against short circuit, overcurrent (fixed
trip points), and high voltage transients.

Functional description
Functional overview
Optional FPFC is a stand-alone outdoor general purpose Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
with Class II Over Voltage Protection, with 15 kA protection level. External overvoltage
protection (using, for instance, units of type FSEC or FSES) might be needed with RF
parts if the PDU is located more than ten meters away from the powered unit.
FPFC is a stand-alone external 19 inch wide 2U high outdoor module. Power distribution
module FPFC provides six outlets for Flexi Modules (Radio Modules, RRHs, or System
Module), or any standard -48 V DC device at site. It can also be used, for example, at
the top of the antenna mast to distribute power to several RF Modules or Remote Radio
Heads. It has one External alarm to indicate Over Voltage Protection (OVP) device condition.

Additionally, each output has On/Off bar.
one EAC connector
EAC connector (RJ45) informs about any abnormal situation, for example, when the
protective component(s) have been damaged. It indicates SPD alarm via two alarm
signals - Normal Open (NO) and Normal Closed (NC):
NO
Alarm is active when the connection is closed. 5V alarm detection line is pulled
down during alarm: Active = 0, Inactive = 1.
NC
Alarm is active when the connection is open. 5V alarm detection line is pulled up
during alarm: Active = 1, Inactive = 0.
