1.3. Subscriber Site

The ASWipLL customer premises equipment (CPE) 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 provides the subscriber

with high-speed data access, Internet access, and VoIP at up to 4 Mbps.

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 gatewa

(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).

The ASWipLL system provides two different subscriber-site configurations:

 Outdoor radio with indoor Ethernet switch/hub

 Indoor radio only

1.3.1. Outdoor Radio with Indoor Switch/Hub

The outdoor radio with indoor Ethernet switch/hub configuration consists of the

ASWipLL Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR) and the ASWipLL Subscriber Data

Adapter (SDA), respectively.

1.3.1.1. Subscriber Premises Radio (SPR)

The SPR is an outdoor radio that provides a wireless link with the Base Station (i.e.

BSR or PPR radio). The SPR interfaces with the subscriber's network through the

SDA Ethernet hub/ switch. The SDA provides the SPR with DC power, lightning

protection, and Ethernet (10BaseT and/or 100BaseT) interfaces with the subscriber's

PCs/network (up to four PCs, depending on SDA model).

The SPR is mounted outdoors on a wall or pole. The SPR connects to the SDA by a

standard CAT 5 cable.
