1 Overview This chapter provides a brief overview of the ASWipLL system. 1.1. Introduction Airspan’s ASWipLL system provides a low-cost, high-performance point-tomultipoint IP-based Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) Access solution. ASWipLL provides wireless local-loop (last-mile) connectivity designed to deliver high-speed data, Voice over IP (VoIP), and multimedia services to residential, SOHO (small office/home office), and SME (small medium enterprise).
O ve r vi ew Hardware Installation Guide ASWipLL utilizes air protocol technology for wireless packet switching using Frequency Hopping technology. ASWipLL's in-house Preemptive Polling Multiple Access (PPMA) Air MAC protocol technology, which recognizes transmission type and allocates bandwidth, is highly efficient—80% throughput (e.g. 80% of 4 Mbps = 3.2 Mbps net capacity)—allowing multiple concurrent subscribers to utilize bandwidth.

O ve r v i e w Hardware Installation Guide 1.3. Base Station Units 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. The ASWipLL system provides various devices (some optional) for the Base Station site. The implementation of these devices depends on the desired network (e.g.
Hardware Installation Guide O ve r v i e w 1.3.1. Base Station Radio (BSR) The BSR is an outdoor radio unit, typically mounted on a pole or wall, involved in providing a wireless link between the Base Station and subscribers. The standard BSR provides 60-degree radio coverage, serving up to 126 subscribers in a sector.
O ve r v i e w Hardware Installation Guide 1.3.3. Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU) The BSDU is an Ethernet switch implemented at Base Stations consisting of multiple BSRs. The BSDU provides 100Base-T interface between the BSRs and the provider's backbone. The BSDU is also responsible for providing BSRs with –48 VDC power supply and frequency hop synchronization between BSDUs, BSRs, and Base Stations (when a GPS is implemented).
Hardware Installation Guide O ve r v i e w 1.3.6. Base Station Power Supply (BSPS) - Optional The BSPS is an optional third-party unit that is implemented at Base Stations to provide –48 VDC power supply and power redundancy. The BSPS is installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet and connected to the BSDU. The BSPS provides the BSDUs and BSRs with the following: ! Power supply of –48 VDC. ! Power redundancy in case of power failure.
O ve r v i e w Hardware Installation Guide 1.4. Subscriber Site Units The ASWipLL subscriber units are located at the subscriber's premises. The ASWipLL subscriber site consists of a radio transceiver that receives and transmits signals from and to the Base Station. The radio transceiver provides the subscriber with high-speed data access, Internet access, and VoIP at up to 4 Mbps.
Hardw are Installation Guide O ve r vi e w The SPR is mounted outside on an external wall or on a pole. The SPR connects to the SDA by a standard CAT-5 cable. The SPR is available in the following basic models: SPR with Standard Gain Antenna: includes a built-in antenna with 15-dBi antenna gain, covering an area of 23 degrees. SPR with High-Gain Antenna: includes a built-in antenna with 18-dBi antenna gain, covering 15 degrees.
O ve r v i e w Hardware Installation Guide ! SDA-4S: integrated LAN switch, providing four 10/100BaseT interfaces with the subscriber’s PCs/network. The ports of the SDA-4S models support Auto Negotiation, allowing automatic configuration for the highest possible speed link: 10BaseT or 100BaseT, and Full Duplex or Half Duplex mode. In other words, the speed of the connected device (e.g. a PC) determines the speed at which packets are transmitted through the SDA-4S port.
Hardware Installation Guide O ve r v i e w ! SDA-4S/1H3L: provides a high priority port (left-most port) for VoIP traffic. ! SDA-4S/VL/1H3L: combines the functionality of the SDA-4S/VL and SDA-4S/1H3L models (i.e. VLAN for each port and a high priority port for VoIP). Figure 1-3 displays a typical subscriber site setup implementing an SPR and SDA. Figure 1-3: Subscriber site with SPR and SDA units (optional RGW) 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc.
O ve r v i e w Hardware Installation Guide 1.4.2. Indoor Radio Unit (IDR) 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. The IDR provides one 10BaseT Ethernet interface to the subscriber's network. The IDR receives its power from a separate power supply unit (AC-DC power adapter).
2 Safety Guidelines This chapter outlines safety guidelines when installing the ASWipLL system. Warning: The user and the installer should be aware that changes and modifications not expressly approved by Airspan Networks could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Warning: Never install equipment that is damaged. Warning: Only qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, and service the ASWipLL equipment. 02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc.
Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide 2.1. ASWipLL Radios and Third-Party External Antennas Warning: Do not connect and disconnect antennas while the power is on. This can cause irreversible device damage. Warning: The digital portion of the transceiver has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Hardware Installation Guide Safety Guidelines Warning: For unlicensed bands, it is the responsibility of the person installing the ASWipLL system to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204.
Safety Guidelines Hardware Installation Guide Warning: To avoid RF interference between BSRs operating in the 700 MHz where four BSRs are installed at a Base Station, a 1-meter separation must be provided between the BSRs' antennas operating in the lower frequencies (i.e. 711.5 and 714.5 for 1 Msps mode; 712 and 714 for 1.33 Msps mode) and the BSRs' antennas operating in the upper frequencies (i.e. 741.5 and 744.5 for 1 Msps mode; 742 and 744 for 1.33 Msps mode).
