Page 6: Overview
As a two-carrier eNB, the Nova-436Q hardware unit contains the equivalent of two separate eNBs. Initially, the 436Q will operate in carrier aggregation (CA) mode or HaloB mode; a later software upgrade will also support dual carrier (split) mode. -
Page 7: Features
1.2 Features Nova-436Q is based on 3GPP Release 12 standards and supports carrier aggregation and HaloB (optional feature) operation. CA provides the ability to aggregate channels from across the full Citizens Broadband Radio System (CBRS) range, even channels that are not adjacent. HaloB is an optional feature that enables the eNB to function independently with no EPC core network connection. -

Figure 3–4: Attach Bracket to Pole 3. Using the 2 pins on the bracket on the back of the eNB, attach the eNB to the mounting bracket on the pole. Push the eNB until the hook is firmly attached to the mounting bracket (Figure 3–5). -
Page 13: Install On Wall
Ensure that the wall can bear at least 4 times the weight of the eNB. Follow the steps below to install the Nova-436Q eNB on the wall. 1. Take apart the assembled installation bracket. 2. Fit the installation bracket on the wall, as shown in Figure 3–7. Mark the drilling locations using a pencil or marker. -
Page 14: Connect Gps Antenna Cable
Connect one end of the 2 RF cables to the ANT0, ANT1, ANT2, and ANT3 interfaces on the eNB, and tighten them with a wrench. NOTE: When the Nova-436Q is operating in dual carrier (split) mode (future software upgrade), Cell 1 uses ANT2 and ANT3 and Cell 2 uses ANT0 and ANT1. -
Page 15: Connect Ground Cable
Prepare the grounding cable according to the actual measurements and requirements of the specific installation site. The Nova-436Q eNB has two grounding screws located on the bottom of the unit (Figure 3–9). Follow the steps below the figure to connect the ground cable. -
