Overview
OverviewOverview
Overview
Airspan's ASWipLL system provides a low-cost, high-performance point-to-
multipoint frequency hopping- and IP-based broadband wireless access (BWA)
solution. ASWipLL provides wireless local-loop (last-mile) connectivity designed to
deliver high-speed data, Voice over IP (VoIP), and multimedia services to
residential, SOHO, and small to medium enterprises. Delivering "always-on", high-
speed Internet access and traditional voice services, ASWipLL offers service
providers an integrated, scalable access solution providing quick-to-market
deployment and low-market entry cost for broadband services.
Figure 1-1: Typical ASWipLL applications
ASWipLL operates in both the licensed bands and unlicensed bands.
Each ASWipLL Base Station can support thousands of subscribers, providing each
sector with high connectivity speeds of up to 4 Mbps. ASWipLL utilizes air protocol
technology for wireless packet switching using Frequency Hopping technology.
ASWipLL's in-house Preemptive Polling Multiple Access (PPMA) Air MAC

protocol technology, which recognizes transmission type and allocates bandwidth, is
highly efficient—80% throughput (i.e. 80% of 4 Mbps produces 3.2 Mbps net
capacity)—allowing multiple concurrent subscribers to utilize bandwidth over only a
1.33-MHz channel.
ASWipLL enables interconnection with the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN) by using an IP-to-PSTN gateway. ASWipLL supports VoIP by offering
interoperability with a wide range of third-party products such as residential
gateways (RGW), access gateways, gatekeepers, and softswitches.
ASWipLL introduces real-time adaptive modulation (2-, 4-, 8-level FSK) and auto
retransmission request (ARQ); features offering high quality services whilst
maximizing spectrum utilization.
ASWipLL provides bandwidth management by supporting both asymmetric and
aggregated committed information rate (CIR) and maximum information rate (MIR),
guaranteeing bandwidth levels to subscribers.
ASWipLL supports broadband services such as VLANs and VPNs based on IEEE
802.1Q/p. ASWipLL supports IP routing and PPPoE bridging, as well as
transparent bridging.
ASWipLL provides embedded security features such as IP (packet) filtering based
on addresses, protocols, and applications.
The ASWipLL system supports SNMP-based management, allowing remote fault,
configuration, performance, and security management of the entire ASWipLL
system. This includes remote simultaneous software upgrade of multiple ASWipLL
devices.
