Description
Installing Complex Mobile Networks
The worldwide spread of mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets using SNS, video streaming, etc., is causing an explosive increase in data traffic volumes. Mobile network base stations are configured using various methods, but the antenna radio section uses an optical fiber to connect the BBU an RRH passing via a general interface called the CPRI/OBSAI. The need for optical fiber fault finding and transport quality tests increases as the Mobile network environment becomes more advanced. Installing the 10G Multirate Module MU100010A1/100G Multirate Module MU100011A and OTDR Module MU100020A/21A/22A/23A in the Network Master Pro MT1000A supports all-in-one optical fiber fault finding and transport quality tests.
Using the MU100020A/21A/22A/23A, scratched or dirty connectors at fiber cable connections can be detected as fault locations from the excessive optical reflections to support fault finding and troubleshooting of Mobile optical networks. Additionally, work efficiency is greatly improved using the Fiber Visualizer function supporting Easy-to-Use/Easy-to-Report testing.

Remote Radio Head Base Station I&M
Base station installation requires confirmation of the optical fiber installation and evaluation of the data quality using real data, plus a final report verifying the work. Conventionally, this has required multiple measuring instruments for each work stage.
Mobile Fronthaul
Since optical connector reflections have a major impact on data quality when using CPRI interfaces, in addition to measuring optical fiber return loss, the BER must be measured using actual CPRI data and the CPRI link must be verified. In addition, the IQ data during CPRI communications is confirmed as necessary.
Mobile Backhaul
Optical connector reflections have a major impact on data quality of GbE and 10GbE networks. Consequently, in addition to verifying optical fiber return loss and Ethernet circuit quality using BER measurements, IEEE1588v2 also specifies the need for time synchronization tests.
By supporting all these tests, the all-in-one MT1000A increases work efficiency and cuts installation testing costs.
