GigAccess™ OFDM is a wireless point-to-point and point-to-multipoint broadband
communication system. The basic subsystem is composed of a single sector, which
consists of an Access Unit (AU) and up to 250 Subscriber Units (SU). Each sector is a
stand-alone communication network operating on a star topology with a gateway to
the WAN, which allows two-way communication between the SUs and the WAN via
the AU. A Sector may be extended by sub sectors, which are consecutive to the SUs
within the sector.
GigAccess™
include a Base Controller (BC). The BC is a PC running GigAccess™
Network Management System (NMS) application that monitors and controls the AUs
and their corresponding SUs. The NMS provides SNMP integration, thus connecting
with already existing NMS that service providers might have. Its main purpose is to
configure the AUs and SUs with SLA (Service Level Agreement). Once the AU is
configured, the configuration is stored in the AU and the sector can run autonomously
without the need of a BC (stand alone configuration).
