Data encryption
In order to avoid electronic eavesdropping, data passing between certain elements in the GSM, GPRS or
UMTS network is encrypted. In order to comply with the export and import requirements of particular
countries, this encryption occurs at different levels as individually standardised, or may not be present at
all in some parts of the network in which it is normally implemented. The manual set, of which this
manual is a part, covers encryption as if fully implemented. Because the rules differ in individual countries,
limitations on the encryption included in the particular software being delivered, are covered in the
Release Notes that accompany the individual software release.

Install the GPS antenna in open air. The installation place should have no
obstacles 10 above the horizon plane.
Keep the antenna away from high buildings and accessory buildings on the roof.
3-3
On the plane where the GPS antenna is installed, the larger the available area is,
the better the signal is. The antenna must have a vertical visual angle larger than
90, as shown in Figure 3-2.
90
Ensure that at least 50% of the total sky area is visible above the GPS
antenna.
If the antenna direction can be selected, ensure that the antenna faces south
when it is installed in northern hemisphere, or the antenna faces north when it
is installed in southern hemisphere.
Install the antenna in the vicinity of a special lightning rod or the like. Keep the
antenna 2 m or more away from the lightning rod.
When installing the GPS antenna on a tower, locate the antenna in the protection
range of the lightning rod. That is, the included angle between the receiving end of
the antenna and the lightning rod or that between the connection line at the top of
the tower and the vertical line must be less than 45. For the regions where
thunderstorm days each year are more than 20 days, the included angle should be
less than 30.
3-4
Install the antenna at the center of the building top other than on the parapet
around the building top.
Do not install the antenna at corners of the building top. Objects at corners of the
building top are most easily to be struck by the lightning.
Do not install the antenna on a metal tower (if any) on the building.

Figure 3-4 Installing the GPS antenna near the tower on the building top
Install the GPS antenna above the microwave antenna (if any) to avoid its main
lobe.
3-6
If the GPS antenna cannot be installed on a high position, keep the GPS antenna
away from the microwave antenna. The space between the two antennas must be
at least 10 times larger than the wavelength of the transmit signal.
Keep the GPS antenna away from the transmit direction of the round satellite
communication antenna (if any).
If there is only a receive antenna around, keep the GPS antenna away from the
receive antenna for over one wavelength. For example, the spacing between two
GPS antennas must be above 0.5 m.
Do not install the GPS antenna under the main lobe of the microwave antenna,
high-voltage cables, or expose it to strong radiation of the TV transmission tower.
Figure 3-5 shows the installation positions for a GPS antenna when it is installed in a
complicated electromagnetic environment. Positions 1, 2, 3, and 4 are preferred while
positions 5, 6, and 7 are prohibited.
3-7
3.3.4 Location Requirements for GPS Antenna Mounted in the Rural Area
The Horizon 3G-n fiber & Horizon 3G-n mini is usually mounted on a pole when the
system is located in a rural area. In this case, the GPS antenna can receive good
satellite signals when it is installed on the top of a hill.
However, the GPS antenna must be protected from being struck by lightning. High
installation position for the GPS antenna easily leads to damage to the GPS antenna
and GPS receiver. When the GPS feeder is routed along the pole, the feeder is
conductive to the lightning surge which is released through the pole.
Figure 3-6 shows the installation positions for the GPS antenna mounted on a pole.
Positions 1 and 2 are preferred while positions 3 and 4 are prohibited.
Caution:
In Figure 3-6, when the GPS antenna is installed at position 2, space between the GPS
antenna and the Horizon 3G-n fiber & Horizon 3G-n mini must be within 2 m in vertical
direction.

Caution:
To complete the project as scheduled, prepare the concrete base before all the devices
are installed.
Motorola recommends that the dimensions of the concrete base is 500 mm x 500
mm x 200 mm (Length x Width x Depth).
The concrete base must be made of concrete and reinforcing steel bars. The base
must be strong enough for mounting expansion bolt assemblies.
The upper surface of the concrete base should be on a horizontal plane to ensure
the antenna lever stands upright.
If the customer allows and the roof is reliably waterproofed, roughen the roof
surface before casting the base to secure the concrete base onto the roof.
Note:
Note the impact of ambient temperature when making the base. In the cold region,
prepare the concrete base on site beforehand. Cold weather may affect the
construction and eventually delay the project.

This section introduces the structure of the antenna support and the procedure to install
it on the roof.
Figure 3-7 shows the antenna support installed on the roof.
2)
Place the metal base of the antenna support onto the concrete base with their
centers aligned. Then mark the positions of the holes using a marking pen
according to the dimensions defined in Figure 3-8.
The holes should be located from 103 mm to 139 mm away from the center of the
base. Motorola recommends that you drill the holes 137 mm away from the
center.

Ensure that depth of the holes is between 72 mm and 80 mm.
4)
5)
Measure the spacing between the holes and ensure that the holes in the concrete
base match those in the metal base.
If the dimension of a hole has big errors, relocate and drill a hole before installing
the expansion bolt assembly.
6)
Tighten the spring washer, flat washer, and nut slightly of the expansion bolt
assembly.

7)
2)
After you confirm that the feeder is faulty, replace the faulty feeder with a new one.
3-25
The path for leading the feeder from the installation position to the equipment
should be cleared. The feeders should be properly routed and fixed. Reliable
waterproof and anti-corrosion measures must be taken.
You can make a waterproof curve by bending the feeder in a natural manner at the
point where the feeder enters the equipment room. The bending radius is 20 times
longer than the feeder diameter. The vertical distance from the lowest point of the
waterproof curve to the entrance must not be less than 200 mm to prevent rain
from entering the room.
Protect both ends of feeder connectors with strong materials such as packing
bags for boards to prevent damage to the connectors during feeder distribution.
When installing the GPS antenna on a roof, fasten the feeder using plastic clips
with steel nails along the root of the enclosing wall on the roof. The spacing of
plastic clips must be 1 m. The direction of their heads must be interlaced regularly.
When the feeders are routed along a cabling ladder, fixing clips must be used
every 2 m.
Try to uncoil the feeder and avoid bending it when routing a feeder. If bending is
inevitable, make sure that the bending radius is at least 20 times larger than the
feeder diameter.
Note:
All the grounding cables are connected to the nearest grounding bar.
If the feeder is longer than 60 m, fix a feeder grounding clip every 20 m between
both ends of the feeder.
3-26
Caution:
If the GPS feeder is not longer than 5 m, ground the shielding layer of the feeder near
the place where the NodeB main unit is connected.
III. Installing the NodeB Indoors: Both the GPS Antenna and the RF Antenna
Installed on a Tower or a Pole
1)
When the outdoor GPS feeder is longer than 20 m, ground the feeders:
Outside the feeder encapsulation window where the GPS feeder is led in
(Connected to the outdoor PGND bar)
2)
When the outdoor GPS feeder is not longer than 20 m, ground the feeders:
Outside the feeder encapsulation window where the GPS feeder is led in
(Connected to the outdoor PGND bar)
Note:
z
If the GPS feeder is longer than 60 m, add a grounding clip between two ends of the
feeder every 20 m.
If the GPS feeder is led into the equipment room after being routed on the roof for
more than 20 m, add a grounding clip to the feeder on the roof.
If the GPS feeder is led into the equipment room from the rooftop and a cabling
ladder is used, ground the cabling ladder, too.
IV. Installing the NodeB Indoors: GPS Antenna Not Installed with the RF
Antenna on a Tower
When the NodeB is installed indoors, but the GPS antenna is not installed with the RF
antenna on a tower, ground the feeders as follows:
z
Ground the shielding layer of the GPS feeder at the entrance to the building to the
outdoor grounding bar of the equipment room. The grounding cable should have
insulated copper-core and the cross-sectional area is at least 6 mm2.
3-27
If the GPS feeder is longer than 60 m, add a grounding clip between two ends of
the feeder every 20 m.
Note:
When the GPS feeder is not longer than 10 m, you can ground the shielding layer of the
coaxial feeder indoors.
Connect the Protect port of the arrester to the GPS port on the top of the Horizon
3G-n macro Indoor, as shown in Figure 3-27.

Note:
The position for installing the arrester depends on that of the Horizon 3G-n fiber BBU
Indoor:
z
When the Horizon 3G-n fiber BBU Indoor is installed in a 19-inch rack or on the wall
in the equipment room, the arrester can be fixed to the cabling rack. In this case, you
should ground the arrester to the grounding bar outside the feeder encapsulation
window.
When the Horizon 3G-n fiber BBU Indoor is installed in an APM or a macro NodeB
cabinet, you should ground the arrester to the internal grounding bar inside the APM
or the NodeB cabinet.
The grounding cable of the arrester is green or green and yellow one. The
cross-sectional area of this cable is 25 mm2. If you prepare the grounding cable,
choose a copper-core cable with the minimum cross-sectional area of 25 mm2.
When the Horizon 3G-n fiber BBU Indoor is installed inside the AFB, the arrester is
directly connected to the GPS port at the bottom of the AFB. In this case, you do not
have to ground the arrester.
