1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
This document provides guidance for the installation of the WSS 4G LTE System. It
describes the physical, mechanical and electrical characteristics for the installation of
the WSS system. The System is intended for In-Flight Entertainment (IFE). IFE
includes Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) advisory information only and does not include any
flight-critical data.
1.2 System Overview
The WSS 4G LTE system provides an office-like, broadband air to ground connectivity
within the WSS Network. Providing a multi-megabit, bi-directional throughput with low
latency to each aircraft enables a wide range of use and applications for both
passengers and crew alike such as over-the-air video and music streaming, video
conference, high bandwidth internet browsing and email usage, as well as, next
generation real time weather, crew operational applications and aircraft maintenance
transmission.
The core system components include:
• One WSS Aircraft Radio (noted herein as “Airborne User Equipment Base Radio”
(ABR) or “Radio”) which is typically mounted on the electronics or avionics shelf of
the aircraft, (however the radio may be mounted in other locations inside or outside
the aircraft’s pressure vessel)
• One High Performance Blade (HPB) Rx Aircraft active antenna.
• One Full-Duplex Quad (FDQ) Tx/Rx Aircraft active antenna.
Equipment not provided, but required for the installation and operation of the System
include:
• Network Router/Cabin Wireless Access Point (CWAP). The WSS system is
designed to connect to an FAA approved network wireless router (not included). A
multi-function connector on the radio provides Ethernet connectivity to the router
over a 4-pair wired-Ethernet 1000BASE-T interface. Reference Section 6.6 – Router
