• The RAU modules are deployed on the floor level and interface to the RF antennas.
• The RAU can be provided in a number of configurations:
• RAU (without RxU and GEM)
• RAU + RxU
• RAU + GEM
• RAU + RxU + GEM
Note: Existing RAU units can be upgraded with RxU (for MIMO support) and/or GEM modules (for Ethernet services) – see
Appendix A for instructions on how to upgrade the RAU with these modules.
• The RAU supports various mounting installation options:
• Wall
• Ceiling/acoustic ceiling
Note: If the RAU is installed below or mid-mount an acoustic ceiling, a support bar (T-Bar) is required (not included).
Acoustical ceiling grid work is not designed to support the weight of the enclosure.
• Required ambient temperature:
• Wall-mount installations (vertical): 45
