Airvana ipBTS C30 Installation and Commissioning, Release 4.0 1-1
Chapter 1
ipBTS system overview
This guide describes the installation and commissioning of an ipBTS™ Radio Node (RN).
• Installation covers all physical tasks, such as inserting modules, connecting power, and
connecting antennas. Perform the installation steps first.
• Commissioning covers all configuration and testing that must be performed by a
technician at the site. Commissioning is performed after installation is complete.
The ipBTS system, when used in conjunction with the ipRNC 1610, comprises part of a
Deployable BTS which provides wireless access to 1xEV-DO enabled access terminals (ATs),
PCs, and laptop computer systems.
CAUTION
This device complies with Part 24 of the FCC Rules. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by Airvana Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

Deployable BTS overview
Figure 1-2 shows a system diagram of the Deployable BTS that consists of the following
components:
• Radio Node (ipBTS C30) – which includes the 1xEV-DO channel card module (ADCC),
Radio module, cooling fans and filter tray.
• Radio Node Controller (ipRNC 1610) – one of the core networking elements connecting
the Radio Access Network (RAN), PSTN, and Core IP Network. Each ipBTS connects to
the ipRNC 1610 using backhaul link consisting of a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface.
