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.
