  • Page 2: Feature Overview

    MWR 1900 IP BTS router pair In the IP-RAN, the BTS site consists of a pair of MWR 1941-DC routers. The pair of MWR 1941-DC routers provides for an active and standby router for redundancy. A failure of the active MWR 1941-DC router causes the standby router to take over as the active router for the BTS site.
  • Page 3 This allows the MWR 1941-DC router to support the traffic of up to 4 T1s or E1s (up to 60,000 packets per second) at a targeted 80% processor utilization while performing UDP/RTP header compression/decompression (cUDP/cRTP) and PPPmux.

    T1/E1 link is not redundant and default to open. The relays are controlled by HSRP/redundancy protocol between the two routers connected to the same T1/E1. If you choose to use the MWR 1941-DC router in a non-redundant configuration, you must close the Note relays on the card using the standalone subcommand.
