4.3 Hardware Configuration
The IP-BS is a unique modular and stackable combination BSC and BTS platform that is
differentiated from other systems. Other systems have separate BTS and BSC platforms
which adds to cost and complexity. The AirWalk RAN has a structure that combines and
arranges the BSC interface with one the BTS in a single package.
The main components are (depending on specific model):
• AW-96 MiniCell
o CDPB (Common Digital Processing Board), consisting of:
 CPIB (Channel Processor and IF Interface Board)
 PCPM (Primary Call Processor Module)
 GPSR (Global Positioning System Receiver)
o XCVB (RF Transceiver Board)
o PSA (Power Supply Assembly)
o RCPB (RF Power amplifer Board) 4 Watt CDMA Power Amplifier
o FEDB (Front End/Duplexer Board) Duplexer & Antenna Interface
• AW-10 Pilot Beacon
o CDPB (Common Digital Processing Board), consisting of:
 CPIB (Channel Processor and IF Interface Board) PB Only
 PCPM (Primary Call Processor Module)
 GPSR (Global Positioning System Receiver)
o XCVB-SP (RF Transceiver Board) Transmit Only configuration
o PSA (Power Supply Assembly)
o RCPB (RF Power amplifier Board) 4 Watt CDMA Power Amplifier
4.3.1 Physical Description
• AW 96 MiniCell / AW 10 Pilot Beacon
