1.1. System Architecture
The ASWipLL system offers modular Base Station architecture and high-
performance subscriber equipment. The ASWipLL system architecture is composed
of the following:
 Base Station site: consists of ASWipLL access units that interface between the
provider's backbone and the ASWipLL subscriber sites.
 Subscriber site: consists of ASWipLL customer premises equipment (CPE) that
interfaces between the Base Station and the subscriber's network.
 Network operations center (NOC) tools: Windows- and SNMP-based
programs, providing fault, configuration, performance, and security management
for the entire ASWipLL system.
1.2. Base Station Site
The ASWipLL Base Station interfaces between the subscriber sites and the service
provider's backbone, delivering high-speed IP-based multimedia services to
subscribers across the last mile.
The Base Station includes various ASWipLL devices (some optional), as listed
below:
 Base Station Radio (BSR) / Point-to-Point Radio (PPR) -- outdoor radio
 Base Station Distribution Unit (BSDU) -- Ethernet switch
 GPS antenna for synchronization
 Base Station Power Supply (BSPS) -- provides –48 VDC power supply and
power redundancy
The implementation of these devices depends on the desired network (e.g. point-to-
point radio link), number of outdoor radios, and power source at the Base Station,
and required synchronization method (e.g. by GPS).
