    ASWipLL operates in the licensed band (700 MHz, 925 MHz, 1.5 GHz, 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Services - MMDS, 2.8 GHz, and 3.x GHz - ranging from 3.3 to 3.8 GHz), and unlicensed band (900 MHz, 2.4 GHz ISM,...

  • Page 24: Main Features

    ASWipLL supports VLANs and VPNs based on IEEE 802.1Q/p. ASWipLL supports IP routing and PPPoE bridging, as well as transparent bridging. ASWipLL provides embedded security features such as IP (packet) filtering based on addresses, protocols, and applications. The ASWipLL system provides SNMP-based management, allowing remote and local management, configuration, and monitoring of ASWipLL equipment.

  • Page 25: Customer Benefits

    Scalability and modular Base Station architecture, allowing customers to add equipment when needed, thereby, allowing low initial cost entry and pay-as-you- grow strategy. Unlike competitors, the ASWipLL Base Station is not a chassis- based design, and, therefore, provides flexibility and space-saving at Base Stations.
  • Page 26 C o m m i s s i o n i n g M a n u a l Supports transparent bridging for easy implementation of IP addressing schemes. ASWipLL’s IP routing provides efficiency and eliminates the need for additional hardware.

  • Page 27: System Architecture

    Base Station and the subscriber’s network. Network management tools: consists mainly of Windows- and SNMP-based programs, providing fault, configuration, performance, security management. Figure 1-1 displays a block diagram of the main areas of the ASWipLL system. Figure 1-1: ASWipLL System Architecture 01040311-07 Airspan Networks Inc.

  • Page 28: Base Station Site

    C o m m i s s i o n i n g M a n u a l 1.3.1. Base Station Site The ASWipLL Base Station interfaces between the subscriber sites and the service provider's backbone, providing subscribers with high-speed data, Internet, and VoIP services.
  • Page 29 SPR. Base Station Power Supply (BSPS): The BSPS is an optional unit that provides the ASWipLL Base Station with –48 VDC power supply and power redundancy. The BSPS is installed at the Base Station site in a standard 19-inch cabinet. The BSPS connects to, and services a maximum of four BSDUs.
  • Page 30 C o m m i s s i o n i n g M a n u a l Figure 1-2 shows a fully populated ASWipLL Base Station at maximum configuration (i.e. 24 BSRs, 4 BSDUs, 1 BSPS, and 1 GPS).

  • Page 31: Subscriber Site

    Base Station. The radio transceiver provides the subscriber with high- speed data access, Internet access, and VoIP at up to 4 Mbps. The ASWipLL radios interface to the subscriber's Ethernet network either through a hub or switch, or directly, depending on the ASWipLL radio model.
  • Page 32 100 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 100 Mbps. If the device to which the port is connected is running at 10 Mbps, the port connection will transmit packets at 10 Mbps. 1-10 Airspan Networks Inc. 01040311-07...
  • Page 33 The VLAN IDs are fixed (since SDA-4S/VLtag is not user configurable). SPR converts the four VLAN IDs tagged by SDA- 4S/VLtag to four VLAN IDs configured through ASWipLL’s network management system (WipManage). The tag conversion is performed by SPR before sending the traffic to the air and vice versa when coming from the air.
  • Page 34 C o m m i s s i o n i n g M a n u a l Figure 1-3 displays a typical setup at a subscriber site implementing an ASWipLL outdoor radio unit (SPR) and an ASWipLL indoor Ethernet switch /hub (SDA).

  • Page 35: Indoor Radio Unit Only

    I n t r o d u c t i o n 1.3.2.2. Indoor Radio Unit Only The indoor radio unit configuration consists of the ASWipLL Indoor Data Radio (IDR). The IDR combines the functionality of the SPR and SDA, functioning as a transceiver and a hub.

    Trap commands. WipConfig™: Windows-based program, providing serial initial configuration (e.g. IP addresses) of the ASWipLL devices, used typically at the factory, or during installation. WipConfig also provides received signal strength indication (RSSI) for subscriber radios allowing accurate device orientation and positioning for optimal reception with Base Station.

  • Page 37: Applications

    PSTN modem, a full channel is occupied for as long as the session lasts. In contrast, ASWipLL subscribers are limited only by their own configuration, with a maximum of 4 Mbps—70 times faster than the fastest PSTN modem. In addition, subscribers do not necessarily consume more bandwidth from the provider, since bandwidth is used only when a data packet is transmitted.

  • Page 38: High Speed Internet Access

    C o m m i s s i o n i n g M a n u a l 1.4.2. High Speed Internet Access One of the advantages of ASWipLL is the fact that subscribers are "always on" Internet. This means that there is no dialing process and no need for the hassle involved with dialup access.

  • Page 39: Voice Over Ip

    I n t r o d u c t i o n 1.4.3. Voice over IP The ASWipLL system enables providers the flexibility of migration from a data- only network to an integrated Voice-over-IP and data network. The ASWipLL voice solution provides interoperability with any IP-to-PSTN network gateway.

  • Page 40: Traffic Engineering In Multi-Tenant Application

    ASWipLL's SDA-4S/VLtag assigns a different VLAN ID (fixed) to traffic from each of its four ports. ASWipLL’s SPR converts these four VLAN IDs, tagged by SDA-4S/VLtag, to four VLAN IDs configured by ASWipLL’s NMS (WipManage). SPR performs this tag conversion before sending traffic to the air, and when receiving traffic from the air.

  • Page 43: Repeater Solution

    I n t r o d u c t i o n 1.4.5. Repeater Solution ASWipLL units can be used to provide repeater functionality. This is implemented in scenarios where the BSR needs to be “extended” to remote subscriber sites that are blocked by obstacles such as trees, hills, and other typical line-of-sight obstructions or that the BSR-SPR (or BSR-IDR) transmission is out-of-range.
