4 AW 96 / AW 10 System Introduction
4.1 Overview
The AirWalk AW 96 MiniCell / AW 10 Pilot Beacon (CDMA-2000 IP-Base Station) product
are unique in that both BTS and BSC functionality are combined in one compact platform.
This product is designed for efficiency and optimized to reduce the service providers
CAPEX, and OPEX and at the same time, it increases the number of users per assigned
spectrum.
It provides higher capacity in less space for today’s spectrum hungry data and multi-
media applications.
The AW 96 system provides the following advantages:
• Compact Omni system in a single package
• Supports 2G (TIA/EIA-95, J-STD-008) and 3G-1X (CDMA2000) standards
• Supports data service transmission of 1.2 kbps to 144 kbps (AW 96 MiniCell)
• Provides 96 basic channel elements (AW 96 MiniCell)
• Multi-Carrier (hopping) Pilot Beacon capability (AW 10 Pilot Beacon)
• Easy repair and support
• Provides an ‘All-IP’ solution
• Provides an effective solution for enterprise networks and hot spots.
4.2 IP- Base Station (BS) System Description
The AW 96 IP-RAN (Internet Protocol Radio Access Network) is composed of two main
modules: The IP based BSC and the IP based BTS. When an AirWalk IP-RAN is
installed in an ‘ALL-IP’ network the integrated BTS is controlled by the integrated BSC,
and the integrated BSC is controlled by a SS (Soft Switch). Legacy Switching Systems
can also control the integrated BSC through standards based interfaces.
