What makes Vanu Anywave BSS different?
The Vanu Anywave GSM BSS provides radio access network functionality by implementing the BTS (Base Transceiver
Station) in software running on a general-purpose server. Signal processing, protocol processing, and all other radio access
network functionality are implemented as application level software running on top of a Debian GNU/Linux system.
The Anywave BTS system uses Protium wideband RF front ends from Protium Technologies.
The Vanu Anywave BSS is composed of three major subsystems:
• RF front end, supporting the 850 MHz band, and providing Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog conversion
• Signal Processing
• Back end network connectivity
Vanu, Inc. integrates these subsystems, running its software on top of the COTS hardware that comprises a complete radio
access network, including the traditional functionality of the BTS.
