A True Wireless "Triple Play" Multimedia Platform

Cable AML offers the BWA-4000, the only wireless "triple play" broadband system designed to provide simultaneously Digital Video, Wireless IP, Voice over IP and broadband high-speed conenctivity to a large number of subscribers. 

The system is a true multi-service platform that can transmit multiple carriers and multiple access systems, including shared bandwidth access systems as well as MPEG2 digital video, VOD (Video-on-Demand), wireless IP data, video conferencing and high-speed private networks. 

The systems can accommodate MULTIPLE carriers, each only 6 MHz wide, EACH with a data transfer rate of 45 Mbps downstream and 15.6 Mbps upstream.

 

BWA-4000: Broadband Wireless Access Platform

 

The BWA-4000 is a true multi-service platform that can handle multiple applications simultaneously. Each application is assigned to its own RF carrier and access system, whether it is dedicated bandwidth, bandwidth-on-demand, or shared-bandwidth. Typical applications include:

• IP data connectivity for fast Internet access and VoIP
• Dedicated bandwidth links for high-capacity private data networks
• Telephony
• Multichannel Digital Video, including VOD (video-on-demand)
• Video-conferencing, telemedicine and other multimedia applications

The BWA-4000 is made possible by Cable AML’s high-power broadband transceivers, with a downstream system capability of more than 15 carriers. By dedicating different carriers to different applications, the BWA-4000 can be optimized for practically any mix of customer requirements within a given area.

The system incorporates an integrated Network Management System (NMS) responsible for the overall management of the network. Features of the NMS include configuration management, software download capability, fault management, and security management functions.

Key Advantage of Cable AML's Wireless "Triple Play" Systems:

The most significant expense of any wireless video + data system is the "customer premises equipment".

Systems configured to allow sharing of equipment between several customers will reduce deployment costs substantially.  Choosing the correct subscriber configuration is the most important decision a system operator has to make when selecting the appropriate wireless system.

Subscriber equipment for the "Triple Play" wireless systems offered by Cable AML can be configured in three general categories of subscriber configuration options (see figure below).

 

The simplest configuration is the Single Subscriber Option where a single transceiver feeds a single subscriber. With this option nothing is shared. This configuration is most appropriate for residential customers in single family dwellings.

The second category is called LAN Subscriber Option, where a single transceiver feeds multiple users through a single subscriber modem. With this option, the subscriber modem is shared by up to 32 users on a local area network which is connected to the shared subscriber modem. This configuration is generally used for commercial subscribers where the LAN is considered a single subscriber.

The third category is the Shared Subscriber Option in which a single transceiver is shared by multiple subscriber networks. The configuration of the subscriber networks sharing the transceiver can vary. They can consist of any combination of a single user, multiple users on a single LAN, or multiple subscribers sharing the same subscriber modem.

The number of subscriber networks is limited only by performance requirements of the aggregated subscribers versus the bandwidth available through the transceiver. This configuration option is appropriate for multi-dwelling and/or multi-tenant locations and offers the greatest potential for cost savings.
