ASWipLL utilizes air protocol technology for wireless packet switching using
Frequency Hopping technology. ASWipLL's in-house Preemptive Polling Multiple
Access (PPMA) Air MAC protocol technology, which recognizes transmission type
and allocates bandwidth, is highly efficient—80% throughput (e.g. 80% of 4 Mbps =
3.2 Mbps net capacity)—allowing multiple concurrent subscribers to utilize
bandwidth.
ASWipLL provides bandwidth management by supporting both asymmetric and
aggregated Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Maximum Information Rate
(MIR), guaranteeing bandwidth levels to subscribers. In asymmetric CIR/MIR,
different values are defined for uplink and downlink traffic: in aggregated CIR/MIR,
values are defined as the sum of the uplink and downlink traffic.
ASWipLL supports VLANs and VPNs based on IEEE 802.1Q/p. ASWipLL
supports IP routing and PPPoE bridging, as well as transparent bridging.
ASWipLL provides embedded security features such as IP (packet) filtering based
on addresses, protocols, and applications.
The ASWipLL system provides SNMP-based management, allowing remote and
local management, configuration, and monitoring of ASWipLL equipment.
1.2. System Architecture
The ASWipLL system architecture is composed of the following three basic areas:
Base Station site: consists of ASWipLL access units that interface between the
provider’s backbone and the ASWipLL subscriber sites.
Subscriber site: consists of ASWipLL customer premises equipment (CPE) that
interfaces between the Base Station and the subscriber’s network.
Network management tools: consists mainly of Windows- and SNMP-based
programs, providing fault, configuration, performance, and security management
for the ASWipLL system.
