1 Ericsson W3x Series Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Ericsson Mobile Broadband Router (MBR) W3x product series is the
superior solution for providing broadband services to areas with no fixed
broadband infrastructure in a cost efficient way utilizing existing 3G
powered mobile networks. It replaces the Fixed Wireless Terminal (FWT)
W2x product series.
The W3x product series facilitates protected, high-speed Internet access for
multiple users in home and small or branch office environments. It includes
advanced data capabilities such as router and switch functionality, and
provides the users with multiple possibilities for local area connectivity
(Ethernet and WLAN).
The W3x product series consist of two models:
•Ericsson W30 – Data Router
•Ericsson W35 – Data and Voice Router (variants available, see
section 1.3).
With WCDMA/HSPA WAN radio access capability the W3x products are
well suited to provide broadband data access with data speeds similar to
that of fixed line DSL services. The data rate is up to 7.2 Mbps and the up-
link speed is up to 2Mbps.
1.2 Ericsson W30 - Data Router
The Ericsson W30 data router provides data capabilities such as data
access (e.g. Internet) in the respect that it allows multiple computers to be
connected to the router using Ethernet or wireless LAN (WLAN). It also
supports file and printer sharing via the USB port.
Figure 1 - Overview of Interfaces for the Ericsson W30

1.3 Ericsson W35 – Data and Voice Router
The Ericsson W35 data and voice router incorporates the same set of
functions and data features as the Ericsson W30. Additionally, this model
also includes high quality voice and fax services via the telephony
interfaces. A broad range of network related services such as Prepaid
Subscription, CLI (Calling Line Identification), Call Waiting, Call Forwarding,
and Multiparty Conference Calls are available.
WCDMA/HSPA radio access is well suited for combined and efficient data
and voice transmission over the mobile network.
Figure 2 - Overview of Interfaces for the Ericsson W35
The Ericsson W35 is available in two variants each supporting different
combinations of UMTS frequency bands;
•850/1900/2100 MHz
•900/1900/2100 MHz
1.4 Ericsson W3x Feature Summary
The Ericsson W3x features the latest technology, which makes them highly
suitable for everyday broadband services. The main features are:
•Multimode broadband WAN connectivity;
Support antenna diversity and have WCDMA/HSPA
(850/900/1900/2100 MHz) as primary access and
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) as fall-back. The
data rate is up to 7.2 Mbps in the downlink direction and up to 2.0
Mbps in the uplink direction.

221 02-FGB 101 544 Uen H – June 2009 9
•Four ports Fast Ethernet switch;
for wired LAN connectivity with rate auto-negotiation and
MDI/MDIX auto-detection support.
•One USB 2.0 port;
for file and printer sharing.
•Wireless LAN Access Point;
An integrated WLAN 802.11b/g access point for wireless LAN
connectivity.
Wireless security features including standard WLAN WEP, WPA,
WPA2, encryptions and MAC Association Control.
•Flexible networking capabilities;
Comprehensive set of networking and IP protocols such as
bridging, routing, DNS, DynDNS, DHCP server/relay, SNTP, and
NAT.
L2TP tunneling providing a mechanism for tunneling Ethernet
frames between two peers over an existing network.
VPN pass-through supporting VPN protocols for standard IPsec
VPN applications.
IPsec/VPN termination supporting one IPsec/VPN tunnel using
Site-to-Site configuration (Tunnel mode).
Stateful packet filtering firewall.
QoS feature for outgoing IP traffic via the WAN interface.
•Voice and fax services (W35 only);
High quality voice and fax services via the telephony interface.
Fax service using SIP and the T.38 protocol.
•Administration and Management;
Local and remote administration and management with SSH2
support.
•End-user Configuration
Built-in web based configuration tool with wizard support for
configuring wireless LAN.
•TR-069
An integrated remote management agent supporting the CPE
WAN Management Protocol (CWMP) as specified in DSL Forum
TR-069 Amendment II. Supports remote software image
installation, shell script execution and a set of configuration and
status parameters.
•TEMS™ Investigation
Support for TEMS Investigation providing possibilities for the
operator to perform real-time diagnostics check and log radio
interface behaviors.

2 Hardware Overview
This chapter describes the hardware of the Ericsson W3x in terms of
housing, interfaces, LED indicators, power supply, and antennas.
2.1 Housing
The housing of the Ericsson W3x is designed to be either wall mounted or
standing on the desk by use of the provided table stand.
The unit (not mounted in the table stand) weighs approximately 380 gr and
measures 185 mm (H) x 106 mm (W) x 45 mm (D).
2.2 Main Board
The main board provides all functionality apart from the radio parts (i.e.
UMTS/HSPA module and WLAN module).
The supported UMTS/HSPA modules are Sierra Wireless MC 8790 and
MC 8792 for Ericsson W35 and Ericsson F3507g for Ericsson W30.
The supported WLAN module is based on Broadcom BCM 4318E.
2.2.1 Back Side Interfaces
The back side of the Ericsson W3x includes the following interfaces:
