Page 8: Benefits Of The Vanu Anywave Bss
Working together, these components integrate into a complete BSS solution that provides the full functionality of a GSM Radio Access Network (RAN). The Vanu Anywave System seamlessly connects mobiles to the phone network by first making a mobile-to-BTS connection via the radio (or “air”) interface. The BTS is connected to, and exchanges data with, the BSC via the Abis interface. -

Page 10: Anywave Components & Connections
Vanu Anywave BSS Operator Guide — DRAFT Chapter 2 Anywave Components & Connections Your Anywave BSS system includes and interacts with many di erent hardware components, including: • The BSS server, which can act as individual or multiple parts of the Anywave System, depending on network resources and requirements (such as BSC/TRAU/BTS, or BTS only). -
Page 11: Bss Server
A standard commercial rack-mounted server (such as the Dell Poweredge or HP ProLiant series) runs the Vanu BSS software on the Debian GNU/Linux operating system. A typical recommended server has redundant power supplies, fans and hard drives (RAID 1 array) to ensure that the BSS remains functional in the event of most hardware failures. -

Vanu Anywave BSS Operator Guide — DRAFT GPS Timing Source The Vanu Anywave System uses a Brandywine GPS4 to provide a precision time source for the BSS system. Figure 2.2: GPS4 Timing Source Connections The GPS unit provides three important sources of data for BSS functionality: •... -
Page 13: Rf Front End
Vanu Anywave BSS Operator Guide — DRAFT RF Front End The wideband RF Front End performs transmission and reception over the air interface between the BTS and GSM mobile stations. Using a wideband multi-channel front end allows one BTS unit to transmit and receive multiple carriers over a bandwidth of 26 MHz. - Page 14 Vanu Anywave BSS Operator Guide — DRAFT Figure 2.3: Protium RF Front End Block Diagram The figure above is a block diagram of the internal components that constitute the Protium RF Front End used by the Anywave System. When the BTS receives a signal from a mobile, an example path that data would follow would be: the RF signal is received through the Main Antenna port (labeled “TO ANT”) which is connected to the...

Vanu Anywave BSS Operator Guide — DRAFT DC Breaker and Bus Bar The DC Breaker protects the Power Amplifiers from electrical surges and short circuits. Consult the “Equipment Setup Steps” chapter for proper connections from an MCPA to its associated breaker and power source (such as a rectifier). -
Page 17: Power Rectifier
Vanu Anywave BSS Operator Guide — DRAFT Power Rectifier The Power Rectifier used in a typical deployment converts 120 Volt AC current to 27 Volt DC current, making it possible for the MCPAs to be powered by an AC power source. The Power Rectifier’s ability to hold up to three power modules makes it easy to swap out an existing power module or add a new one as necessary for increased DC power. -
