Navini Networks, Inc. Base Station User Manual Overview Ripwave Description A Ripwave system has three main components: the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE); the Base Station; and the Element Management System (EMS). The Base Station performs the CPE registration and call processing, and provides the interface between the backhaul network and the EMS. It is made up of the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and the Radio Frequency Subsystem (RFS) (Figure 1).
Base Station User Manual Navini Networks, Inc. Procedural Documents & Forms You will refer to other Ripwave documents, procedures, and forms in the process of installing and commissioning the Base Station. The product documentation is provided on the Ripwave Standard Documentation CD (Table 1). As well, the EMS manuals can be viewed on-line through the EMS Server and Client applications.
Navini Networks, Inc. Base Station User Manual High-level I&C Process To put the I&C activities in the context of overall system deployment, Figure 2 provides a ‘flow’ of the key activities that are performed prior to and during the installation and commissioning of the Ripwave Base Station. Post-I&C, the system that has been installed and commissioned goes through Acceptance Testing against the customer’s objectives for that site.

Base Station User Manual Navini Networks, Inc. Base Station Components Base Transceiver Station (BTS) The BTS consists of the RF Power Amplifiers (PA’s), the digital circuit cards, the backplane, and the mechanical enclosure or housing. It performs the signal processing and RF transmission for the system. There are two types of chassis: Combo and Split. The Combo Chassis is used primarily with 2.4 GHz systems. The Split Chasses is used for all other (2.3, 2.5, 2.6 GHz) systems (Figure 3).
Navini Networks, Inc. Base Station User Manual Radio Frequency Subsystem (RFS) The Radio Frequency Subsystem (RFS) is mounted on a transmission tower or building rooftop. It transmits and receives data to and from the Ripwave Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) using a digital beamforming transmission technique. The RFS may be either a panel antenna or an omni antenna (Figure 4). An RFS panel transmits in a directional mode, covering a transmit angle of 120 degrees.
Base Station User Manual Navini Networks, Inc. Global Positioning System (GPS) One or two Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas are used with each Base Station. A GPS antenna works with a constellation of satellites that orbit the earth, and it provides the ability to pinpoint geographical locations. The two types of GPS antennas that may be ordered with a Ripwave Base Station are the VIC 100 and the Motorola Timing 2000 (Figure 5).
Navini Networks, Inc. Base Station User Manual Mounting Racks & Enclosures The BTS can be installed indoors or outdoors in industry standard 19- or 23-inch racks. Rack adapters are needed to mount the equipment in a standard 23-inch rack. For outdoor BTS’s, the customer can supply any standard enclosure from a multitude of vendors. Figure 6 shows 3 BTS’s installed indoors. Figure 6: Indoor BTS Data/Power Cable Part #40-00047-01 Rev C v1.0 (1.
Base Station User Manual Navini Networks, Inc. General Specifications Input Power The BTS requires +21 to 28 VDC power supply rated at 60 amps (combo chassis) and at 50 (RF shelf) and 20 (Digital shelf) for the split chassis. Installers are referred to industry standards for power supply installations. Humidity The operating environment of the BTS must control relative humidity to 5% to 95% RH, noncondensing.
Navini Networks, Inc. Base Station User Manual Base Station Specifications Current Ripwave operating frequencies include those shown in Table 3. Testing on other frequencies is underway and soon will be commercially available. The specifications are shown in Table 4. Table 3: Operating Frequencies Model 2.3 GHz Frequency Range 2.305 GHz to 2.
