3.6 Accessories
The following accessories are supplied with the product:
• 12V DC power supply
• Wall mounting plate
• Tool for detaching the AP from the wall mounting plate
3.7 Hardware Installation Options
The nanoLTE E40 Access Points are designed for wall mounting.
3.8 Network Architecture
The E40 connects to the EPC directly via the S1 interface in accordance with 3GPP
standards based LTE architecture (see [36.300]). Specifically, the nanoLTE E40 AP
(HeNB) connects to the MME and SGW network elements via the S1-MME and S1-U
interfaces respectively by means of IP transmission links. The IP links are secured using
IPsec which is terminated by a Security Gateway.
The following diagram summarises this architecture:
Note: Although IPsec is shown in this architecture, the general functionality of the nanoLTE E40
AP has no dependency on the use of IPsec. In environments where the end-to-end
backhaul between nanoLTE E40 APs and the EPC is fully secure, the use of IPsec is
optional.
Note: The nanoLTE E40 AP does not require a connection to an LTE HeNB-GW and this element
is not provided as part of this solution.
