Using S1000
The S1000 is an indoor small cell intended for use by small to medium size
businesses.
It offers any-to-any mobility through LTE technology, offering users seamless
mobility between indoor and outdoor coverage. It also offers dual-concurrent 2.4/5
GHz 802.11ac Wi-Fi to deliver high data rates and performance.
The Wi-Fi capabilities include automatic channel selection and Interference
avoidance, and Band steering to 5GHz for supporting devices. Up to 5 SSIDs are
supported, with transparent authentication of public SSID using the 802.1x protocol.
The S1000 supports up to 50 Wi-Fi clients.
How the S1000 works
The S1000 is a small cell base station with a radio unit that is similar to a cell tower
radio. The base station uses a low-power antenna to transmit data cellular signals in
your small and medium business locations.
Base stations give you better cellular coverage because they provide a stronger signal.
A strong signal can extend battery life. Also, data applications on Smartphones, such
as mobile email devices, work faster.
Wi-Fi
The S1000 supports 2 Wi-Fi cards for 2.4G and 5G modes of operation. Each Wi-Fi
card is configured to act as a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP). IP addresses for the Wi-Fi
cards are obtained from a DHCP server, or can be statically configured.
The Wi-Fi options are configured from the S1000’s internal router. For more
information, see the Airvana S1000 Router Guide (913110).
Broadband
The S1000 connects to an Operator’s network through a broadband Internet
connection.
Connection speed
The S1000’s actual transmission speed is only as fast as the maximum broadband
connection speed. Internet congestion, the number of users on the provider’s network,
and other factors can decrease the actual broadband connection speed. Individual
bandwidth needs vary per customer. Airvana recommends a minimum of 3 Mbps
downstream and 1.8 Mbps upstream for data services.
