Alcatel-Lucent Base Station Router Femto 9365 User manual

Alcatel-Lucent
9365 Base Station Router Femto
Simplifies the network architecture
for increased performance and greater
revenue opportunities

Overview
both in the home and outside. The
9365 BSR Femto consolidates the
UTRAN elements in a single box
as shown in Figure 1, reducing the
number of network components,
the latency, the complexity of the
network, and therefore the cost.
The Alcatel-Lucent 9365 BSR
Femto is hardware-ready to support
the serving GPRS support node
(SGSN) and gateway GPRS support
node (GGSN) functionalities in a
single unit. These functions will be
implemented by software upgrade.

2 Alcatel-Lucent 9365 Base Station Router Femto
The demand for broadband is increasing rapidly but many W-CDMA
subscribers have limited in-house coverage and capacity, and use
traditional fixed-line Internet access instead. The challenge for mobile
operators is to offer less expensive in-building coverage to enable
converged service bundling. The Alcatel-Lucent 9365 Base Station Router
Femto (9365 BSR Femto) helps you deliver new applications to the
home user, improve in-home W-CDMA coverage and compete with
fixed line broadband services while reducing operating costs. Its flat IP
architecture is simple to install, cost-effective and efficient.
Seamless and cost-effective
in-building cellular coverage
Seventy percent of calls are made
indoors, but only two percent of
buildings have purpose-built indoor
coverage, and 50 percent of users
complain about poor indoor service.
Many new entrants are attacking
this market.
The 9365 BSR Femto can increase
your revenue opportunities by extend-
ing service availability to in-building
areas, through enhanced quality of
service (QoS), and by supporting
broadband data services.
The Alcatel-Lucent 9365 Base
Station Router Femto
The Alcatel-Lucent 9365 Base
Station Router Femto is a small
W-CDMA base station placed
inside a building, which uses a
digital subscriber line (DSL)
connection to backhaul traffic.
It addresses the domestic market
for high-speed data via localized
in-building wireless service provi-
sioning. With the Alcatel-Lucent
9365 BSR Femto, users can benefit
from high-QoS wireless capabil-
ities, with the advantages of voice
support and W-CDMA mobility
BENEFIT
Low latency, fewer bottleneck nodes as traffic is offloaded, allows home
networking with sticky applications
Low latency, low cost, and automatic configuration
Increases revenue potential
Compatible with all 3GPP-compliant W-CDMA handsets, and offers
3GPP backhaul interfaces (IuPS, IuCS, Gi and Gn) as required, for
simple and cost-effective integration into an existing network
Optimizes CAPEX and OPEX, improves network efficiency and simplifies
installation
No site visits required, saves OPEX
Simplifies evolution to IMS and 4G Long term Evolution (LTE)/SAE, also
based on flat IP

Alcatel-Lucent offers two versions of the 9365 BSR Femto:
• Standalone 9365 BSR Femto – Offers W-CDMA functions only, for
consumers who already have a DSL modem. Includes an Ethernet
port to connect to the DSL modem.
• Integrated 9365 BSR Femto – Incorporates W-CDMA functions, DSL
backhaul and WiFi.
Increased in-building coverage
and capacity at lower cost
Traditionally, as in-home mobile
services usage increases, you would
need to implement additional
outdoor cells to add capacity and
enhance indoor coverage. This can
be very costly. However, with the
Alcatel-Lucent 9365 BSR Femto,
you can improve in-house cover-
age and capacity rapidly, realizing
substantial cost savings. The 9365
BSR Femto enables additional rev-
enue opportunities from fixed-mobile
market uptake, group tariffs, mobile-
data services and DSL services.

Ease of deployment
and installation
To ensure interoperability, seam-
less operation and investment
protection, the 9365 BSR Femto
can integrate fully with today’s
W-CDMA networks. It can be
located wherever better in-building
coverage is needed. The system
uses standard DSL or Ethernet
interfaces, allowing direct connec-
tions to any DSL line. The 9365
BSR Femto is attractive and installs
easily with automatic configuration.
Flat IP architecture
The flat IP architecture of the
9365 BSR Femto consolidates
the UTRAN elements in a single
unit, ensuring very low latency.
This reduces the roundtrip delay
dramatically, enabling latency-
sensitive applications to run on
mobile networks with a much better
quality of experience (QoE). Using
IP backhaul reduces infrastructure
costs and substantially offloads
traffic from the macro layer.

Standards compliant
The Alcatel-Lucent 9365 BSR
Femto is compliant with all rele-
vant standards, such as 3GPP. It
changes the traditional approach
to wireless infrastructure by apply-
ing both IETF and IEEE Internet
protocols to an all-IP architecture
in addition to the 3GPP standards
of wireless solutions. All backhaul
network interfaces, and the air
interface are 3GPP-compliant.
Thus any 3GPP-compliant handset
or data card will work with the
9365 BSR Femto without modifi-
cation, and interworking with core
network infrastructure from other
vendors is simplified.
High scalability
You can deploy the Alcatel-Lucent
9365 BSR Femto with minimal
network reconfiguration and
expense so you can respond quickly
to market needs. Up to 65,000
9365 BSR Femtos per cluster are
supported from launch, with an
unlimited number of clusters
allowed per network, so you can
deploy millions of 9365 BSR
Femtos as the market expands.
Consumer lifestyle convenience
With the Alcatel-Lucent 9365
BSR Femto, subscribers need only
one home multimedia access point
to meet their needs for high-speed
mobility connectivity. There is
no need for separate services, bills,
accounts or sign-on procedures
from multiple providers.
The Alcatel-Lucent 9365 BSR Femto is a 3G access point
that uses a flat IP architecture to consolidate the UTRAN
elements into a single box.
