Chapter 1 - System Description Introducing BreezeACCESS 4900 BreezeACCESS 4900 is a high capacity, IP services oriented Broadband Wireless Access system operating in the 4.9 GHz licensed spectrum band allocated for public safety. The system employs wireless packet switched data technology to support high-speed IP services with a network connection that is always on.
BreezeACCESS families using GFSK modulation, then one BS-PS power supply (AC or DC) should be used to provide power to the BreezeACCESS 4900 Access Units, and a different power supply module, suitable for GFSK equipment, is required for powering the BreezeACCESS GFSK Access Units.
Access Unit. The main difference is in the structure of the indoor part; in the AU- D/E-SA Access Unit the indoor unit is a standalone desktop or wall-mountable Table 1-1: AU Detached Antennas Band (GHz) 4.900-5.100 4.900-5.100 BreezeACCESS 4900 System Manual Horizontal Gain Beam Width (dBi) 120°...

unit (the same Universal IDU that is also used in the SU) rather than a 19” module. The AU-SA Access Unit can serve up to 512 Subscriber Units (124 when Data Encryption is used). The IDU connects to the network through a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ 45) interfaces and is powered from the 110/220 VAC mains.
Category 5E Ethernet cable. This cable carries Ethernet traffic between the indoor and the outdoor units, and also transfers power (54 VDC) and control from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit. BreezeACCESS 4900 System Manual...
Networking Equipment The Base Station equipment is connected to the backbone through standard data communication and telecommunication equipment. The 10/100BaseT ports of the AU modules can be connected directly to a multi-port router or to an Ethernet switch connected to a router. The point-to-point link from the Base Station to the backbone can be either wired or wireless.
Management Systems The end-to-end IP-based architecture of the system enables full management of all components, from any point in the system. BreezeACCESS 4900 components can be managed using standard management tools through SNMP agents that implement standard and proprietary MIBs for remote setting of operational modes and parameters.
