WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 700 1. Introduction 1.1 General The information contained in this manual provides GigAccess™ OFDM 700 system overview and instructions for Planning, Installation, Configuration, and Operation of both the Access Units, the Subscriber Units including antennas and accessories. 1.2 GigAccess™ OFDM System Overview GigAccess™ OFDM is a wireless point-to-point and point-to-multipoint broadband communication system.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 700 The following figure depicts a general description of a typical sector in the GigAccess™ OFDM system. WAN SU SU AU Switch/Router Base Controller (Option) SU AU SU Figure 1-2: Typical sector in GigAccess™ OFDM System The sector uses a single radio channel frequency with a 5 MHz bandwidth, which carries up to 9 Mbps data throughput. The system is a frame-based system, meaning the time dimension is divided into small periods called frames.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 700 GigAccess™ OFDM MAC layer is based on IEEE 802.16 MAC standard with additional proprietary attributes, which allow for special features such as Consecutive AP™. GigAccess™ OFDM network layer enables routing and QoS queuing of traffic based on classification of packets using information in layers 2, 3 & 4-7. In certain instances, QoS queuing can be done using packet information (priority defined by the management).
