Applications

UltraWAVE CDMA can be configured to fit
in a variety of applications for mobile and
fixed applications.

Mobile UltraWAVE CDMA Networks

UltraWAVE CDMA can be installed as a
self-contained network for mobile operators
who are looking for a complete network solution.
This solution fully harnesses the scalability and
cost-efficiency of UltraWAVE CDMA to offer
attractive voice and 153 Kbps packet data
services at competitive rates.

The self-contained network serves a variety
of specialty markets, such as military and
government applications and disaster recovery.
In some cases the self-contained network is a
roaming network, e.g. cruise ship applications.

As a revenue generator, UltraWAVE CDMA
offers the operator a variety of value added
services; including, voicemail, prepaid and SMS.
Either ADC VAS servers or the operator’s third
party servers may be used. Also a variety of
supplementary services are available.

Reduced backhaul costs also make UltraWAVE
CDMA an excellent extension to existing mobile
CDMA2000 networks. Network extensions
can be built around self-contained networks
or by interconnecting an existing MSC with
the UltraWAVE CDMA BSC. In both cases
coverage can be provided in areas previously
considered unreachable.

Fixed UltraWAVE CDMA Networks

For ILECs who want to extend their networks
in a cost efficient manner, UltraWAVE CDMA
comes as a pure access solution. Existing local
exchanges (Class 5 switches) can provide existing
services seamlessly over a V5.2 access interface to
new remote areas. In this case, UltraWAVE CDMA
acts as a cost-efficient “pipe” that can turn
unreachable areas into new revenue generators.
The pure access solution eliminates the need for
a mobile switching center (MSC), which reduces
the system complexity, time to market and total
cost of ownership.

CLECs who are looking for a complete solution
should consider a self-contained network
featuring the UltraWAVE CDMA Softswitch and
Value Added Servers. In particular, the scalability
of UltraWAVE CDMA makes it a feasible choice
even in very sparsely populated markets.

Flexible IP Architecture
for Today and Tomorrow

UltraWAVE CDMA’s distributed architecture
effectively integrates legacy BSC and the BTS into
a single compact unit. As a result, UltraWAVE
CDMA is the ideal solution for rural areas and
sparsely populated towns. This architecture also
minimizes carriers’ initial investment for larger
network roll-outs, while ensuring rapid return on
investment. Taking advantage of the attractive
economics of standard IP-based infrastructure
technologies, UltraWAVE CDMA cuts the total
cost of the network. This design approach also
enhances system flexibility in addressing various
network configurations, including V5.2, SS7 and
PRI as well as combinations of them.

Both new and established fixed carriers
and mobile operators benefit from deploying
UltraWAVE CDMA. The all-IP architecture allows
operators an easier migration path to MMD, IMS,
and NGN. While new operators can immediately
establish next generation networks (NGN),
established carriers can build upon their
legacy systems now with seamless migration
in the future.

Furthermore, the all-IP based architecture
facilitates the introduction of IP transmission
between the RAN and the CN for operators
who are planning ahead for IP-based
multimedia services.

Local Switching

A major part of any operator’s OPEX is the cost
of backhauling traffic from the radio access
network (RAN) to the core network (CN). Due
to UltraWAVE CDMA’s unique capability to
offer local switching, substantial savings can
be achieved. The key benefit is that calls that
are terminated intra cell or inter cells can be
switched locally so that the payload does not
occupy any bandwidth over the backhaul system.
Only the signalling is carried between the RAN
and the CN. The result is significant reductions
in backhaul bandwidth requirements and lower
OPEX (via satellite or leased line) and CAPEX
(via procured terrestrial backhaul).

In addition to cost savings on the backhaul,
the introduction of local switching means
less consumption of switching resources. This
translates into less investment in trunk capacity.

System Elements

Enabling operators to build networks with a
minimal initial investment and expand in relation
to demand, UltraWAVE CDMA is comprised of
the following system elements:

Micro BS Plus - a compact and
modular rack mounted, small
footprint base station. The BS
Plus integrates the BSC and BTS
functions into a single unit and
supports local switching of intra-cell
calls. Seamlessly scaleable in both
frequency carriers and sectors per
cell, it offers maximum coverage and optimal
capacity. Eliminating the need for a central BSC
results in outstanding cost effectiveness for
deployments of small to medium networks.
Micro BS Plus is available in all standard
CDMA2000 frequency bands: 450, 850,
1900, and 2100 MHz.

Pico BS Plus - a flexible
indoor platform: Ideal for
in-building environments or
to fill-in shadowed areas.
The pico BS Plus integrates
the BSC and BTS functions
into a single unit and supports local switching of
intracell calls. Its compact form makes it suitable
for pole or wall mounting. The unit supports
voice and data over 1 or 2 carriers. Pico BS Plus
is available in all standard CDMA2000 frequency
bands: 850, 1900, and 2100 MHz.

Softswitch - an IP call
server, manages the radio
access network (RAN)

Next Generation CDMA 2000 Solution

and the trunk gateways
enabling significant savings on backhaul by
providing local termination of intracell phone
calls. The call server is a small rack mounted
unit that supports full redundancy. It is centrally
located in the network regardless of the voice
traffic path and economically fits networks of
all sizes up to 100,000 subscribers. The call
server supports interconnection for both PRI and
SS7 and enables least-cost-call routing among
multiple trunk gateways.

Trunk Gateway -
a modular and scaleable,
rack mounted signaling
and media gateway that
communicates with the
PSTN and PLMN over SS7 or PRI links. Multiple
trunk gateways that are geographically distributed
can be managed by a single soft-switch, reducing
the cost of interconnection to the network.
Various trunk gateway sizes are available from 2
E1/T1s 1U compact unit up to 72 E1s/T1s.

Access Gateway - a modular
and scaleable, rack mounted
signaling and media gateway.
Located at either the class 5
switch or a remote site, the access gateway
connects to one or many base stations (BS Plus)
over an IP network. In this way, traffic for an
entire service area is efficiently aggregated from
many base station sites over a backhaul link into
one central V5.2 gateway. Two sizes of access
gateways are available: Small, supporting 2 - 12
E1s or Large, supporting 18 - 36 E1s.

PDSN - an optional
rack-mounted unit, used
as a service node for
packet data transmission
for always on data access. Centrally located, the
PSDN efficiently aggregates the data traffic from
the radio network and communicates with the
operator’s AAA server.

OMC - an easy-to-use
and comprehensive
network management
system. The OMC enables
remote monitoring,
alarm management and
configuration, which translates to savings in both
maintenance time and expenses.
