Malibu Networks AirMAX“ CPE/BTS
AirMAX
Malibu Networks wireless broadband access system comprised of a
Base Transceiver Station (BTS) that transmits to and from one or more
customer premises (CPE) units. Both CPE and BTS units are
functionally similar in that they are made up of an antenna, controller
card, radio modem and power supply (items contained in ODU and
Power Injector units).
Backbone
The primary connectivity path of a hierarchical distributed network. All
systems with connectivity to an intermediate system on the backbone
are assured of connectivity to each other. Systems can set up private
data transfers with each other to bypass the backbone, reducing
backbone traffic and providing security.
Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the difference in Mhz between the highest and lowest
frequency a channel can conduct. For example, the bandwidth of a
broadcast TV channel is 6MHz. The term also is commonly used to
communicate a channel’s throughput, typically measured in Kbits/sec
or Mbps.
Base Transceiver
Station (BTS)
Transmits to and from one or more customer premises (CPE)
systems.
Bit Error Rate
A measure of transmission quality generally shown as a negative
exponent.
Broadband
Any network that multiplexes multiple independent carriers on a single
cable. This is done using frequency-division multiplexing. Broadband
technology prevents traffic on one network from interfering with
another, because the transfers happen on different frequencies.
Broadcast
A packet-delivery system where a copy of a given packet is given to all
hosts attached to the network (such as Ethernet).
Buffer
Memory used to temporarily store data that compensates for
differences in device transfer rates.
BW
Bandwidth. A numerical measurement of throughput for a system or
network.
Cache
A portion of RAM used for temporary storage of data which must be
accessed very quickly.
Category 5
The EIA/TIA 568 standard certifies Category 5 up to 100MHz.
Coaxial Cable
Coaxial cable has an inner conductor surrounded by insulation and
wrapped in metal screen.
Customer Premises
Equipment
End user equipment that resides on the customer’s premise which
may not be owned by the local exchange carrier.
