Upgrade a Cable Infrastructure for MTS Communication Nodes..

• Prepare a physical level for growing a bandwidth within a deployment of 4G LTE networks;
• Upgrade a communication nodes’ cable infrastructure to add an equipment with a bigger port density;
• Provide a compact arrangement of passive equipment;
• Provide high density of optical connections;
• Create a modular architecture for fast deployment of an infrastructure with a minimum influence on existing carrier links.

To organize the exchange’s optical distribution frames, iCore selected a HUBER+SUHNER AG solution. The LiSA central optical distribution frame has industry unique capacity up to 2880 optical fibers per cabinet, providing a compact arrangement and reserve for development of the Customer’s network. Meanwhile, the optical distribution frame occupies only 0.3 sq.m area of a raised floor and allows to clear a useful space for racks with active equipment.

To organize optical links between the distribution frame and racks with active equipment, MASTERLINE pre-terminated cable systems have been used. Thanks to a compact arrangement of a cable (its outside shield diameter is less than 13 mm with a capacity of up to 144 optical fibers), a high density of cable bunches is provided.

Optical links at existing nodes have been laid in separate overhead boxes. This allows spatially separating an optical cable system and existing systems of ladder cable trays, and mesh trays with a copper wire cabling.
