Abstract: A computer-implemented method of distributing traffic includes distributing, to a first distributed unit (DU), traffic via a first path, receiving, from the first DU, an indication generated by a first dry contact alarm of the first DU that a state has changed in the first DU, switching, by an optical switch, the traffic from the first path to a second path based on the indication from the first DU, and distributing, to a second DU, the traffic via the second path.

Abstract: A remote radio head assembly attaches a remote radio head to the back wall of an antenna unit. The remote radio head assembly has a radio bracket attached to the top of the radio head having a handle for lifting and carrying the radio head. Radio guide spacers attached to the back side of the remote radio head are for sliding the remote radio head along a mounting rail attachment disposed on the back wall of the antenna unit. The mounting rail has a pivot hook for receiving an installation lever configured to engage with the handle to move the remote radio head in downward and upward directions so as to couple the connector ports of the antenna unit.

Abstract: A remote radio head assembly in accordance with an embodiment is configured to attach a remote radio head to the back wall of an antenna unit said remote radio head assembly comprises a top bracket coupled to the top portion of the remote radio head for handling the remote radio head. The top bracket has a protrusion extending towards the back wall of the antenna unit. A side bracket section is coupled to the top side portion of the remote radio head, wherein the side bracket section has a pivot point for receiving an installation lever configured to engage with the remote radio head protrusion at said pivot point to move the remote radio head in downward and upward direction to couple to the connector ports of the antenna unit.
