  • Page 24: Subscriber Site

    The ASWipLL radios interface with the subscriber's Ethernet network either through a hub or switch, or directly, depending on the ASWipLL radio implemented. Note: For VoIP support, Airspan can provide a third-party residential gateway (RGW). The RGW typically provides two POTS ports for telephony, a 10BaseT LAN port for subscriber PC/network, and a 10BaseT port for connecting to the SDA or IDR (depending on subscriber site configuration).

    SDA-4H: hub providing four 10BaseT interfaces with the subscriber's computers and/or networks. One of the 10BaseT ports provides crossover cabling for interfacing with another hub or LAN switch. Alternatively, it may be connected to another PC via a crossed Ethernet cable. 02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc.

    5.4. Spectrum Analysis for Locating Clear Frequencies Before setting up your wireless link between Base Station and subscribers, Airspan recommends (especially in unlicensed bands), analyzing the RF spectrum at the Base Station to select only clear frequency channels (i.e. without interferences) for building a frequency table for wireless communication between Base Station and subscriber.

    5) Antenna must be DC grounded. 5.9.1. Cable Loss Airspan's ASWipLL radios provide transmit power compensation for power attenuation caused by cable loss (in cable connecting to external antenna). Cable loss is the loss of radio transmit (Tx) power as heat, and directly proportional to cable length and quality, and operating frequency.

    Therefore, it is recommended that the operator, during installation, compare the performance between horizontal and vertical polarization of external antennas, and implement the polarization providing the best performance. Some third-party antennas that can be optionally supplied by Airspan for the 900 MHz band support both horizontal and vertical polarization. 02030311-10 Airspan Networks Inc.
