The OneBase InSite™ RF component is a stand alone unit mounted
in or alongside a standard base station transceiver (BTS) rack,
and works with any original equipment manufacturers BTS radio equipment.
It can run site tests automatically according to a schedule or in
real-time via an Internet connection. InSite RF takes readings on
antenna feedline return loss, in both uplink and downlink frequency
bands, pilot power, and other site metrics and will notify radio
frequency technicians via alarms when performance is at or nearing
sub-par levels.

Optimization Solutions that Work for You
Both the OneBase InSite RF Unit and the OneBase InSite Connect System can
be purchased alone or bundled together depending on operator requirements. Andrew's
OneBase InSite product line provides its customers with the tools, services,
and solutions necessary to optimize their networks and deliver network performance
information that greatly improves the quality of service to mobile operators
and users worldwide.
The InSite Connect System includes a central management system (CMS) which
acts as the notification center for site alarms and status information,
and a remote controller unit (RCU) which provides the connectivity and control
to all cell site operational subsystems.
OneBase InSite Central Management System (CMS)
The CMS server, which acts as the notification center for site
alarms and status information, is centrally located and designed
to communicate with an RCU at each cell site. The server is capable
of managing up to 2000 cell sites. If more than 2000 cell sites
need to be managed, then multiple CMS servers can be deployed. Furthermore,
these servers are capable of being interconnected to perform like
a single virtual server.
The CMS is not only capable of real-time cell site equipment maintenance,
status, and alarming, but also is capable of scheduling future site specific
changes on either a one time or a regular recurring schedule.
In addition, the CMS is capable of generating reports that summarize the
cell site specific data that is constantly being gathered by the RCU units at
each cell site.
Some sample cell site subsystems that can be monitored and/or managed include:
AC power transfer switches Battery discharge Battery
monitors CSU DACs Entry alarms Fire/smoke
RET antenna controllers RxAIT Temperature Thermostats
TMAs Tower lights Water intrusion
OneBase InSite Remote Control Unit (RCU)
The RCU is the central aggregation point for each cell site and provides
the connectivity and control to all cell site operational subsystems including
remote monitoring and controlling of AISG compliant RET antennas and tower mounted
amplifiers.
The RCU includes a remote electrical tilt (RET) Antenna controller
embedded within it. With this feature, the RCU provides standard
AISG interfaces for monitoring and controlling AISG 1.1 and AISG
2.0 compliant RET antennas and TMAs.
In the event that the ports available on the RCU at a cell site
are insufficient to connect to all required subsystems, the OneBase
InSite Connect System also includes an optional RCU expansion chassis.
This expansion chassis is a 1RU rack-mountable unit with additional
slots for:
Dry contact ports Analog
ports Relay ports Ethernet ports Serial ports USB
ports
If required, multiple optional RCU expansion chassis units can be deployed
at a cell site allowing for the support of additional ports per site.
