Air4G A 4G network revolution in a compact, effi cient package

Air4G

Integrated LTE multi-platform base station

Airspan Networks is addressing a growing demand for LTE connectivity

worldwide. The use of mobile broadband services is accelerating

at exceptional rates with increased applications such as gaming, social

networking and video for mobile devices. LTE enables users to carry

the same user experience they have at home or in the offi ce while they

are on-the-go.

Airspans Air4G eNodeB ensures the highest

quality, capacity and range on a network while

meeting the requirements of a wide variety

of applications for carriers and operator as

well as vertical markets such as smart utilities,

transportation and public safety.

4G LTE connectivity means that a user can enjoy bandwidth

intensive applications while on the move. This is made possible

thanks to the network support for handovers and roaming.

Airspan solutions maintain a connection while the user moves

across cell borders, essentially handing off the service from one

eNodeB to the next.

Air4G eNodeB operates in a wide frequency range, from

700 MHz up to 3.8 GHz, including LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 12, 17,

20, 38, 40, 41, 42, and 43, supporting all channel sizes, from

1.4MHz up to 20MHz. Air4G has variants with two transmitters

and two or four receivers, supporting both FDD and TDD.

Air4G is interoperable with numerous end user devices of all

form factors, based on all leading chipset manufacturers. It is

also interoperable with various core network solutions.

The unique form factor of Air4G secures the investment of the operator and minimizes the OPEX and CAPEX. While offering capabilitiessuch as MIMO and advanced Frequency Domain Scheduling. These capabilities enable higher throughput, range, and capacity with more effecient use of the spectrum.

p

INNOVATIVE RADIO TECHNOLOGYAir4G employs software defi ned radio (SDR) technology, together

with two transmit paths and two or four receive paths, antennas

and GPS receiver all in a highly integrated, physically small and

light, all outdoor package. Air4G is optimized for working across

the entire 700 MHz to 3.8 GHz spectrum, maintaining its high

performance regardless of the chosen LTE band, and has been

designed to address the markets needs by supporting the current

and future air interfaces thanks to its SDR technology.

FLEXIBLE ARCHITECTUREAir4G has been conceived for deployment in a 1-sector

confi guration or in a 3-sector confi guration, which is the

optimum confi guration for LTE deployments. Air4G design also

incorporates an Ethernet switch which enables the traffi c from 3

sectors to be aggregated for backhaul and network interfacing.

The switch has Copper and Fiber Giga Ethernet interfaces

towards the backhaul or backbone.

RELEASE 10 LTE-ADVANCEDAir4G provides the outdoor Micro layer of a Heterogeneous LTE-

Advanced network deployment (HetNet). Advanced Release 10

feature sets include support for Self-Optimizing Networks (SON)

and eICIC which enables N=1 frequency re-use with the Umbrella

Macro cell.

ALL-OUTDOOR, ALL-IN-ONETraditional split indoor-outdoor architecture eNodeBs which support multiple sectors are being replaced by new, lower CAPEX and OPEX, compact eNodeBs. Air4G is such a product. Its all-outdoor, compact structure yields a lower power consuming, greener solution that is environmentally friendly.

Air4G is a highly integrated compact, yet powerful, eNodeB with all-in-one packaging of RF and base-band components. It is available as an all outdoor solution to minimize physical footprint and operator OPEX. It saves the need for an air conditioned shelter (which is required in other architectures such as split indoor/outdoor architectures).

Air4G complements Pico cells such as Airspans AirSynergy product line (and naturally has much higher Tx power and much better link budget). Thanks to the effi cient power amplifi er technology employed in its RF implementation, Air4G implements dual 40dBm (10W) transmitters in 2.X GHz spectrum and dual 37 dBm (5W) transmitters in 3.X GHz spectrum.

EASE OF DEPLOYMENT WITH AirSONAir4G is designed to integrate with standardized LTE Access SON

solutions. AirSON, Airspans SON solution, is layered and consists

of both Integrated eNodeB distributed SON technology, as well

as a standardized SON interface for network based centralized

SON.

The eNodeBs self-confi gure, self-connect, and self-optimize.

In addition, unlike conventional mobile network planning and

design, expansion of the coverage area can be optimized and

adapted depending on the local need.

COST-EFFECTIVEAir4G supports a pay-as-you-grow deployment plan. An operator

can begin with a single unit and add eNodeBs as needed. With

fl exible options, Air4G supports 3GPP LTE Release 9 with a

seamless upgrade path to LTE-Advanced and beyond.

Providing high power and consuming less power perfectly

positions Air4G to save operating expenses and cut costs while

maximizing revenue potentials. Its compact size allows for easy,

quick and fl exible installation anywhere needed not just on

traditional communications towers.

Coupled with Airspans AirCore EPC-in-a-Box, a revolutionary 1RU

complete EPC solution, Air4G provides an ideal cost eff ective

solution for smaller-sized deployments, easily scalable to a full

blown network. Air4G has a rich interoperable device off ering

with core networks and third-party end user devices including

multiple handsets, indoor and outdoor UEs, as well as USB

dongles from various manufacturers. Air4G has a proven high

level of integration with various core elements from Tier-1 EPC

vendors, as well as standalone billing platforms.

Air4G is managed via Airspans simple, intuitive, web-based EMS

called Netspan.

Air4Gs is a high-performance, all-in-one, all-outdoor,

carrier-grade, 4G compact micro base station. With a

small, thin and light form factor (weighing only

10.5 kg/23.15 lb) and consuming extremely low power

(less than 90 watts), Air4Gs is easy and aff ordable to

install and maintain.

Air4Gs is ideal for Operator and Carrier networks in

suburban and rural environments as well as urban

deployment extensions. The product is also optimized

for vertical applications such as smart grid or

transportation, where there is often a need for a

powerful, cost-eff ective solution.

Air4Gs is available for the 1.4 GHz, 2.3 GHz (WCS band

in the USA) and 3.X GHz bands (supporting the entire

50 MHz in the 3.65 GHz band in USA). Other bands will

become available as business requirements evolve.

Uncompromised Performance

Similar in architecture and built to complement its sister basestation (Air4G), Air4Gs is designed to easily integrate into anexisting Airspan powered network. Leveraging the existinginfrastructure, Air4G utilizes the same core network, userdevices and antennas, while being managed through thesame powerful network management tool, called Netspan.

The particular features incorporated into the design ofAir4Gs, including the Tx power, number of transceivers,and the option of interfaces, off er high performance at anattractive cost, providing operators the functionality theyneed, with appropriate coverage and data rates to support

a healthy business model.

Air4Gs is a mobile WiMAX (IEEE802.16e) Base Station andhas standard R1 and R6 interfaces. Air4Gs operates with alarge selection of Airspan end user devices and has proveninteroperability with units of every type of form factorincluding outdoor CPEs, USB dongles and indoor CPEs with/without VoIP and Wi-Fi.

AirCore distributed EPC Architecture

HSS (Home Subscriber Server): is a central database that contains user and subscription-related information. HSS stores user parameters, information to authenticate the subscriber and the services a user is allowed. It also contains the subscriber profi le such as QoS profi le, access restriction and roaming capabilities. The HSS may include an Authentication Center (AuC) which generates authentication vectors and security keys.

SGW (Serving Gateway): routes and forwards user data packets, while also acting as the mobility anchor for the user plane during inter-eNodeB handovers and as the anchor for mobility between LTE and other 3GPP technologies. It retains information about the bearers when the UE (User Equipment) is in idle mode. It manages and stores UE contexts, e.g. parameters of the IP bearer service, network internal routing information. It also performs replication of the user traffi c in case of lawful interception. Network may include several Serving Gateways, each handling diff erent data bearers at diff erent times.

PGW (PDN Gateway): provides connectivity from the UE to external packet data networks by being the point of exit and entry of traffi c for the UE. The PGW performs policy enforcement, packet fi ltering,

charging support, lawful interception and packet screening. Another key role is to act as the anchor for mobility between 3GPP and non-3GPP technologies such as WiMAX and 3GPP2 (CDMA 1X and EvDO).

MME (Mobility Management Entity): The MME is the key control-node for the LTE access-network that processes signalling between the UE and the core network. It manages establishment, maintenance and release of bearers and the connection, authentication (by interacting with the HSS) and security between the UE and the network. The MME Performs mobility management, like tracking UE location and handover, and manages subscription profi le and service connectivity. It checks the authorization of the UE and enforces UE roaming restrictions.

PCRF (Policy and Charging Rules Function): performs QoS, access and charging related control. The PCRF is policy based and authorizes bearer and session establishment and modifi cation. Only one PCRF is assigned to all the connections of one subscriber, has access to subscriber profi les stored in a database, and provides the QoS authorization (for QoS class and bit rates) that determines the data fl ow and ensures it is in accordance with the users subscription profi le.

AirSynergy

Addressing unprecedented mobile data traffi c growth

Mobile Carriers are currently experiencing an unprecedented

growth in mobile data traffi c, which todays 3G and 4G LTE networks

are struggling to satisfy.

As part of a heterogeneous network, Public Access

Enterprise Femto cells are a key tool for locating

the eNodeB closer to the end user, providing much

higher aggregate data rates and better coverage.

The issue with most Public Access Enterprise

Femtos is the diffi culty in connecting them with

the rest of the Macro network. AirSynergy 1000

solves this problem by combining a 4G LTE-

Advanced eNodeB Station with an optional, high

capacity, self-connecting wireless backhaul.

AirSynergy 1000 contains Airspans ground breaking LTE-

Advanced Software Defi ned Radio (SDR) is implemented

within a state-of-the-art System on a Chip technology

providing both data access and backhaul from the same

architecture. AirSynergy is a high compact all-in-one eNodeB

which supports a wide range of radio interfaces including 4G

LTE-Advanced and IEEE 802.11 and 802.16 technologies.

This architecture enables AirSynergy 1000 femto cells to

be deployed quickly into the Enterprise by delivering both

high capacity backhaul and synchronization, essential for

integration with the Macro cell network.

In addition to LTE-Advanced Public Access, AirSyenrgy 1000

also provides IEEE 802.11n/ac Public Hotspot 2.0 services

which are tightly coupled with the LTE interface and share the

same hardware based SIM authentication methods used on

todays Smartphones and Tablets. When combined with novel

access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) the

result is a revolution in the way a carrier can provide services

to todays enterprise.

A holistic solution for both Public Access and high capacity backhaul is an industry fi rst, and redefi nes the way in which LTE-Advanced can be delivered into the Enterprise.

Integrating and Synchronizing

RELEASE 10 LTE-ADVANCEDAirSynergy 1000 is a revolutionary indoor, high

performance, high power, LTE-Advanced Enterprise

Femto cell, designed to bring Public Access LTE networks

to large enterprises. AirSynergy 1000 has advanced

Release 10 feature sets that include support for SON and

eICIC which enables N=1 frequency re-use with outdoor

Macro and Pico cells. AirSynery 1000 can be deployed

using enterprise broadband connections or with an

optional broadband wireless backhaul solution that has

cooperative QoS to ensure the Quality of Experience

(QoE) inside of the enterprise matches the QoE on the

outdoor Macro cell network.

THE POWER OF INDOOR HETNETS4th generation mobile cellular networks have diff erent

problems than previous 2G and 3G networks. 4G

LTE mobile networks are full of hotspots where large

numbers of users make demands for mobile data that

Macro-only networks are failing to provide. AirSynergy

1000 is designed to solve this Hotspot issue by bringing

cost eff ective LTE-Advanced Public Access into the

enterprise.

LTE-ADVANCED ACCESSAirSynergy 1000 supports 3GPP LTE access technologies

in combination with Airspans intelligent IEEE wireless

backhaul technology, known as iBridge. Airspans

3GPP LTE implementation is compliant with the 3GPP

standards and has interoperable S1 and X2 interfaces,

SIMPLE AND FAST TO DEPLOY

AirSynergy 1000 when combined with the optional iBridge wireless backhaul provides a one-stop solution for extending LTE and LTE-Advanced Public Access services into a large enterprise using the deployment of just two compact units.

and fully supports commercial GCF tested UE devices,

including SmartPhones, Dongles and Tablet computers.

OPTIONAL WIRELESS BACKHAULAirSynergy 1000 uniquely provides a solution for the

delivery of trusted high capacity wireless backhaul

to the enterprise using Airspans IEEE based iBridge

backhaul technology. iBridge is a self-confi guring,

self-connecting point-to-multipoint backhaul solution,

which automatically extends the reach of the Macro

RAN backhaul network from existing Macro cell sites or

other Points of Interconnect (POI). AirSynergy iBridge

backhaul also provide high quality synchronization

using IEEE PTPv2 by acting as a Grand Master for the

enterprise deployed Femto cells. This ensures that both

frequency re-use and handover works seamlessly with

the Macro LTE-Advanced network.

ECONOMIC DEPLOYMENTThe high performance and high power LTE-Advanced

radio interface of AirSynergy 1000 means that in most

cases a single unit can provide coverage for a large

building or even multiple buildings in a campus.

PLUG AND PLAYAirSynergy 1000 wall mounted Enterprise Femto cell(s) can be installed

quickly into large enterprises, either as a single node or as a cluster of

nodes. When deployed in clusters, the nodes are networked together

using Gigabit ethernet links. The AirSynergy 1000 can be deployed

using an integrated isotropic omni antenna, or with separate antennas

via 2 N-type connectors.

REDUCING THE COST OF DELIVERING Mbit/s The deployment of an AirSynergy 1000 Enterprise Femto cell with

optional backhaul can massively reduce the cost of delivering Public

Access broadband mobile data to the Enterprise. The location of a high

performance Femto cell inside of the enterprise not only improves the

Quality of Experience, by enabling fast downloads and better coverage,

it simultaneously deloads the outdoor Macro cell network, improving

the overall network quality for all users. Perhaps even more signifi cant

is that the cost for each Mbit/s delivered to users within the Enterprise

drops dramatically, which permits carriers to create innovative pricing

tariff s and generous data consumption allowances.

FLEXIBLE ARCHITECTUREAirSynergy 1000 and 2000 support the holistic deployment of LTE-

Advanced HetNets. By deploying both Indoor and Outdoor small

cell topologies, carriers can create optimal small cell networks that

solve both coverage and capacity shortfalls in the Macro cell network

Through the use of Airspans real-time SON Servers, LTE and iBridge

backhaul does continual self-optimization of both LTE backhaul links,

ensuring interference between is minimized and delivering end-to-end

QoS and QoE across the network with minimal spectrum consumption.

RADIO PLANNING with SON

AirSynergy 1000 is designed to integrate with standardized LTE Access SON solutions. AirSynergy SON is layered and consists of both Integrated eNodeB SON technology, based on Qualcomms UltraSON and a standardized SON interface (which support TR.69) for network based SON. When deployed using iBridge backhaul AirSynergy also integrates Backhaul SON into the LTE SON Framework. This allows a network to be optimized for both LTE access and Backhaul simultaneously without the need for extensive, formal planning.

The products self-confi gure, self-connect, and self-optimize. In addition, unlike conventional mobile network planning and design, expansion of the coverage area can be optimized and adapted depending on the local need.

AirSynergy 2000Outdoor LTE-Advanced Pico Base Station with Integrated Wireless Backhaul

Multi-Function, Compact and Versatile Redefi ning the economics of LTE-Advanced HetNet Deployment

The worlds most compact and versatile 4G LTE Pico Base Station

AirSynergy





As part of a heterogeneous network, Pico Base

providing much higher aggregate data rates.

The issue with most Pico Base Stations is the

diffi culty in connecting them with the rest of

the network. AirSynergy solves this problem

by combining a 4G Pico Base Station with an

integrated, high capacity, self-connecting wireless

AirSynergy is an all-in-one compact Pico Base Station which

supports a wide range of radio interfaces including 4G LTE

and WiMAX technologies.

This technique enables AirSynergy to be deployed on street

furniture (e.g. lamp posts), with connections automatically

established through neighboring nodes to establish a

backhaul connection with the network.

A key feature of the AirSynergy technology is the ability

to self-confi gure, self-connect, self-heal and self-optimize

when deployed as a network of elements. At the same time

AirSynergy provides guaranteed levels of service with Quality

of Service (QoS) characteristics in line with the requirements

of the access interface

The integration of backhaul and access technologies is an industry fi rst, and redefi nes the way in which networks

can be constructed.

RELEASE 10 LTE-ADVANCEDAirSynergy 2000 provides the outdoor Pico layer of a

Heterogeneous LTE-Advanced network deployment

(HetNet). Advanced Release 10 feature sets include

support for SON and eICIC which enables N=1 frequency

re-use with the Umbrella Macro cell. The cooperative

QoS over the Backhaul interface ensures the Quality of

Experience (QoE) from the Pico eNodeB matches the

experience from the Macro cell.

THE POWER OF HETNETSAs operators struggle to cope with growing customer

demand for higher throughput, they are discovering that

layering small base stations into a macro cell coverage

area, enables a signifi cant increase in network capacity

by fi lling in coverage gaps and addressing actual traffi c

distribution where demand is highest. AirSynergy 2000

is ideal for these networks, delivering high data rates

where needed most, whether at the macro cell edge

or closer to the user base, maximizing coverage and

customer satisfaction.

BROADBAND ACCESSAirSynergy 2000 supports either 3GPP LTE or IEEE

Broadband access technologies in combination with

Airspans intelligent IEEE wireless backhaul technology,

known as iBridge. AirSynergy supports both IEEE 802.11

and IEEE 802.16 radio interfaces and provides both local

and wide-area broadband services. Airspans 3GPP LTE

implementation is compliant with the 3GPP standards

ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION

AirSynergy consists of a single self-contained unit, removing the need for an equipment rack or any indoor equipment. Units are powered from a compact power supply unit based on AC or -48V DC power sources

and has interoperable S1 and X2 interfaces and

supports commercial GCF tested UE devices, including

SmartPhones, Dongles and Tablet computers.

AirSynergy uses a unqiue combination of Software

Defi ned Radio (SDR) and System-on-a-Chip (SoC)

technologies to enable it to support a range of air

interfaces simulatenaously.

INTEGRATED WIRELESS BACKHAULAirSynergy 2000 uniquely provides an integrated

wireless backhaul solution using Airspans iBridge

IEEE P802.16r technology. iBridge is a self-confi guring,

self-connecting point-to-multipoint backhaul solution,

which automatically extends the reach of the network

from existing Points of Interconnect (POI). iBridge

supports multi-hop relay connections, providing

backhaul for either LTE or IEEE access interfaces.

SUSTAINABLE DEPLOYMENTAirSynergy 2000 Pico Cells can be installed on existing

street poles (lamp posts or utility poles) which are

either OPEX free, or have nominal on-going expenses,

thus avoiding the recurring costs associated with a

traditional Macro site acquisition. AirSynergy also

requires a fraction of the power of a Macro base station,

further reducing the OPEX, and allowing renewable

energy sources, such as solar panels, to be used.

PLUG AND PLAYAirSynergy 2000 supports automated confi guration from the

management system, simplifying the installation of each base station.

Airspans unique self-aligning Antenna technology cuts installation

time. This automation, coupled with the self-connecting iBridge

backhaul results in a true plug and play solution, allowing Pico cells to

be rapidly deployed.

REDUCED CAPEX / OPEXAirSynergy 2000 is a compact all-outdoor 3GPP LTE Pico Base Station,

which can be installed without conventional indoor infrastructure

and associated power and air-conditioning systems. The integration

of wireless backhaul reduces the equipment installed per site, as

separate backhaul infrastructure is not required. This in turn reduces

spares holding and inventories. The iBridge backhaul supports self

healing, allowing the network to automatically recover in the event

of failure. This increases overall service availability and customer

satisfaction.

FLEXIBLE ARCHITECTUREThe iBridge network can support diff erent topologies as new

elements are added to the network, enabling a highly fl exible and

versatile deployment. Each AirSynergy 2000 node can adopt an

access and backhaul functionality, automatically changing backhaul

role from termination to relay to ensure a dynamic self-adapting

architecture.

Through the use of Airspans real-time iBridge SON Server, iBridge

supports self-continuous optimization of backhaul links, ensuring

interference between iBridge nodes is minimized and delivering end-

to-end QoS across the network with minimal spectrum consumption.
