Overview
The Converged Wireless System (CWS) CWS-3050 is the latest models in the
CWS-3000 series (2x40W). CWS is a software-defined, multi-technology, multi-
CWS-3050 carrier base station product family that integrates baseband, radio, filter/power
amplifier, edge aggregation, and backhaul router into a single compact form factor
device. For common bands across 2G, 3G, and 4G, (such as Band 8), CWS supports

CWS-3050-x is auto-configured and managed by the HNG. This allow the CWS to

• Flexibility in
HNG makes the CWS nodes self-configurable, self-optimizing via real-time SON
deployment: fewer
sites; sites that can on HNG, and also provides resilience and self-healing with dynamic re-routing,
support multiple and enables backhaul meshing between the nodes using licensed or unlicensed
sectors spectrum. SON on the HNG actively manages and monitors CWS’. This ensures
that they are not disruptive to the rest of the Macro network, that proper power
control is maintained between systems and guarantees other users in the same
geographical area are not adversely affected. This improves the overall network performance towards a
higher customer QoE (Quality of Experience).

The CWS supports 3G/UMTS and 4G/LTE resulting in fewer sites due to the support of multiple
technologies/dual carrier capabilities on the same hardware, which helps drive the overall deployment costs
down. This also provides carriers with a migration path while they deploy VoLTE, enabling a Circuit
Switch Fall Back (CSFB) solution for customers and emergency calling. Each unit can support two carrier
per baseband: either 2G/2G, 2G/4G, 3G/3G, 4G/3G or 4G/4G of similar bands. These capabilities are
software adjustable and help to achieve better resource utilization and spectrum efficiency by means of
joint resource allocation and load balancing across the downlink carriers. Each CWS-3050 is capable of
2x2 MIMO operation for 4G that helps with capacity improvement in the network. 2T2R 4G capability will
allow CWS to transmit a maximum RF power of 40W (46dBm) simultaneously on each antenna for the
total of 80W (49dBm) RF output power from a single CWS-3000 family unit. If it operates as a 3G
(1T2R)/4G (2T2R) dual carrier, it will transmit 40W (46dBm) split between 3G and 4G on the first transmit
port and additionally, up to 40W (46dBm) of 4G on the second transmit port. CWS-3050 will provide total
of 40W RF output operating in 3G mode only (1T2R). If it operates as a 2G only (4TRx; 8TRx in the next
release), it will transmit 40W (46dBm) maximum output to reach up to 25 km. If it operates as a 2G
(4TRx)/4G (1TRx) it will transmit 80W (46dBm) maximum output.

Wi-Fi can be supported via any Wi-Fi AP connected via PoE connector.

The CWS hardware connectors allow for different backhaul input (fixed, Ethernet, satellite, wireless).
CWS backhaul capabilities can be enhanced with wireless mesh by simply connecting a wireless mesh
backhaul module (BHM) via a standard RJ45/Ethernet interface/Ethernet cable. Multiple CWS’ can daisy
chain to each other to form a mesh cluster which eliminates the need/cost for other types of backhaul.

BHM-201 has two radios (to support multiple mesh networks, or a mesh network plus an LTE-backhaul
connection) and external N-type connectors to allow mobile operators to choose their preferred antennas.

The mesh radio supports all 5GHz bands commonly used in the US, Europe, and Asia and the maximum
outdoor EIRP for each region.

Deployment Scenarios for BHM-201:

• Multiple radios deployment (ex: one LTE and one Mesh)

• Usage of own antenna
• Metal housing preference to the plastic

LTE backhaul is enabled by a commercial UE and can operate on any

commercial LTE band. Figure 3. Wireless Backhaul module (BHM)
