1. Introduction
Corning’s BWS™ platform 1.0 is the first fully-digital, end-to-end in-building cellular solution, for medium size
venues. It provides coverage of 200,000 – 500,000 square feet, of mobile communication voice and data
traffic, covering a wide range of frequencies. Being a pure digital system dramatically reduces system costs,
and the system foot print.
Corning’s Low Power Radio (LPR) units are the end-point antennas connected by optical cable to the BWS
system Digital Router Unit (DRU) (distribution/routing of RF samples via CPRI stream), and to the system
Power Supply Unit (PSU) for power. The LPR units are installed underneath the frame of the acoustic or drop
ceiling. LPR units provide plug-and-play, cost-effective processing while minimizing power loss and noise.
This chapter provides an overview of LPR interfaces, management and usage.

1.3 Overview: about BWS 1.0 Architecture
BWS fully digital platform incorporates integrated capacity source Base Band Units (BBU) with the digital
distribution units – Digital Router Unit (DRU) and Low Power Radio (LPR) units. The solution enables multi
band and multi operator support, high scalability (both, in capacity and coverage) and provides simple
migration paths to future technologies.
BWS 1.0 supports:
• BBUs: Up to four high capacity sources per DRU
• LPR (Remotes): Up to 32 low power units per DRU
• DRUs: Up to four DRUs connected per BBU
• Synchronization: 10 MHz clock domain
1.3.1 Architecture and Interfaces
BWS system connects externally, through the BBU, towards Core Network Providers’ Evolved Packet Core
(EPC), over the S1 interface.
Internally, the BWS units are connected via Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) lines.
The system internal configuration and management allows user access flexibility, and is done through BBU
and DRU units, according to the needs.
The following figure shows an example of the system’s internal and external connectivity.

distributes it towards BWS internal units.
It connects to an operator's Evolved Packet Core
(EPC) over the S1 interface. It connects to
Corning's family of digital remotes using the
Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) through
the DRU.
A fully-digital radio routing platform, performing
distribution and routing of RF samples via CPRI
stream, providing signal processing while
minimizing power loss.
A digital radio remote unit, providing plug-andplay processing.
LPR includes internal antennas, and supports the
following frequencies: 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz,
20 MHz
Max coverage range for BWS 1.0: 5000 square
feet.
1.3.3 System Management Model
BWS internal configuration and management are done through two interfaces:
• Through the BBU: using the BBU GUI application named: Spider Cloud Provisioning Service (SCPS)
• Through DRU units: using the DRU GUI application.
Note: LPRs do not have direct management ports, and are each managed through the DRU unit
to which the LPR is physically connected.
The system includes a single management user (type admin), and only one management session may be
open at a time, to avoid conflicts, and provide better control of the system.
To manage the system, the user connects a computer to the management port of the relevant unit (DRU or
BBU), opens a session and updates the required parameters through the GUI, where:
• BBU UI updates are done through the core network provider’s network.
• DRU UI updates are performed directly through the DRU.

User Manual v1.0
Two basic management states are distinguished:
• Connectivity updates: includes first time deployment and provisioning, connectivity changes. For these
use cases, the BBU calculates and distributes system schemes and maps to the connected DRUs.
The first time provisioning includes:
1. Entering the BBU data into:
a. The provider’s network
b. The BBU itself (via SCPS application)
2. The BBU initiates an identification procedure of its MAC address.
As a result, the BBU and the network “know” how to communicate.
• On-going updates: includes SW management, parameter settings, alarm monitoring etc. These actions
are performed via the DRU.
Note: the system management has a single user, of type Admin. Only one management session
may be active at a time.
The following figure shows the system management points.

5. Post Installation Steps
Apter installing connecting and powering-on the LPRs, configure the LPR via the DRU connected to that
specific LPR. Refer to the system UM for configuration and management needs.
5.1 Unit Management
To configure and manage the LPR and DRU units, the user needs to access the relevant DRU unit to which the
LPR is physically connected. Another option is to access the overall system management mechanism, through
the BBU (refer to BBU UM).
The user connects a laptop computer to the DRU management port, opens a session and updates the
required parameters through the GUI.
For further details refer to the system UM.
