What is the ClearBurst™ MB
The ClearBurst™ MB is a broadband wireless point-to-multipoint

communication system that provides digital two-way voice, data, internet, and
video services. It offers an effective “last mile” alternative to traditional wire-
line telephony and cable services. It is a broad band data conduit between
remote end-users and public or private data/voice services such as internet
services, data networks, and telephone networks.
A ClearBurst™ MB system is organized as one or more cells where each cell has
a base station and a number of remote stations. If POTS is supported, the
system will also have a PSTN gateway (PGW). The operator controls and
monitors the system by means of SNMP compatible management stations.
The base station connects to outside networks by means of ATM on STM-1. The
physical link can be optical, or copper, or microwave.
The services available at the client’s premises vary depending on the remote
station, but may include E1 (full or fractional), Ethernet LAN ports,
V.35/EIA530 N x 64 kbit/s, and POTS.

The main feature of the Clearburst™ MB is the wireless connection to the end
user. This feature allows the implementation of integrated service networks
quickly, especially in environments where land lines would be too expensive or
impractical.

For example, a company could use a Clearburst™ MB cell to implement a WAN

connecting all of its branches in a certain area. Or an operator could use a
network of Clearburst™ MB cells to provide data and telephone services to
small and medium businesses in a given area. The operator could also provide

The Components
The base station consists of an IDU (indoor unit) and a number of ODUs
(outdoor units). In most cases there will be four ODUs: each one covering a
different 90º sector. Each ODU is connected to the IDU by one1 coaxial cable.
The BS IDU is basically a card cage containing a number of replaceable
modules. In a non-protected system it has modules in one side. In a protected
system it has modules in both sides.
The remote station consists of an ODU and an IDU.

DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Cell
The basic ClearBurst™ MB network is composed of one or more cells. Each cell
consists of a BS (Base Station) at a central location and a number of RSs
(Remote Stations) situated at the different end user’s premises. The BS
communicates with the RSs over an air interface.
Data enters and leaves each cell through the BS’s network access interface
(NAI): ATM on an STM-1 optical link. Systems providing POTS also require an
external PGW to convert ATM cells into V5.2 protocol used by the PSTN.

The BS IDU
The BS IDU is built on a 16-slot, compact PCI bus shelf, mounted in a standard
19” rack. Except for the relay and LED control panels, and power distribution
module; all of the functions are on plug-in cards or modules.
The basic BS IDU has:
• A controller card
• A modem card for each sector
• A hot swap card
• A network access interface (NAI) card
• A modem rear IO card for each sector (plugs into back of backplane)
• The CPU Rear I/O card (plugs into the back of the backplane)
• Two or three1 power converter modules (plug into connectors under the
backplane). A fan-only module is installed in the unused power
converter slot if only two converters are used.
• An alarm LED panel, a relay I/O panel, and a power distribution
module that are integrated with the chassis
1. 3 modules are required for a protected system

A fully protected BS IDU has redundant modem cards, NAI cards, controller
cards, hot swap cards, and 3 power converters.

The Network Interface
The network interface uses ATM to move data between the cell and the outside
world (PSTN, PGW, PDN, etc.). The physical link is 155 Mbit/s SDH optical.
The NAI card uses AAL5 protocol to connect IP/Ethernet data to the PDN,
AAL1 protocol to connect E1 and n x 64 kbit/s data to the PSTN, and AAL2
protocol to connect POTS calls to the PGW and subsequently to the PSTN.
The NAI card has an STM-1 optical port which the operator connects to an ATM
switch. The IP/Ethernet data and N x 64 kbit/s data go through the ATM
network to the PDN. E1 traffic goes through the ATM network to the PSTN.
POTS traffic goes through the ATM network to a PGW where it is processed
before going to the PSTN.
We use ATM’s CBR service class for E1/FE1 and N X 64 kbit/s data; VBR for
digitized POTS data; and UBR for IP/Ethernet data.

The Air Interface
The BS and the RSs communicate by means of radio in the 3.5 GHz and
10.5 GHz bands. The BS uses up to 4 sectorial1 antennas; the RSs use
directional antennas. Each sector uses two frequencies: one for downstream
transmission from the BS to the RSs and one for upstream transmission from
the RSs to the BS. Use of two frequencies like this is referred to as FDD
(frequency division duplexing).
The system uses TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) in the downstream
direction. That is to say, the BS transmits addressed data to each RS during a
different time period. Each RS listens to all the data but accepts only data that
is addressed to it. In the upstream direction, the system uses TDMA (Time
Division Multiple Access). This means that each RS transmits only during time
slots that are dynamically assigned to it.
The downstream direction uses either 16 QAM or 64 QAM2 modulation. The
upstream direction uses QPSK or 16 QAM modulation. The operator selects the
type of modulation to suit the conditions, using higher modulation indexes
where distances are short but traffic is high.
In the upstream direction the BS remotely controls the burst signals coming
from all the RSs so that they arrive at the BS’s antenna port at approximately
the same level. The operator sets this level to a value that will minimize
interference while maintaining a good bit error rate.
1. In most cases each antenna will cover 90º.

2. Available for 3.5 GHz system only

The End User’s Interface
The services available to the end user depend on the model of RS being used.
Table 2-1 shows the various RS models that Harris offers or will offer.

• 2, 4, or 8 POTS ports
• 2 Ethernet LAN ports
RS-200 • 1 N x 64 kbit/s port
• 1 full or partial E1 port
LAN Ports
The RS-50L/100 provides one standard 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port; all other
RS models provide two ports. The ports connect to the system and each other
through a transparent bridge.
E1
The RS-200 provides one E1 connection. Typically, the end user connects the
E1 channel to his PBX. The E1 can be full channel or fractional. The end user
does not have to buy a whole channel if he does not need it. Bandwidth is
dynamically allocated to each E1 in the cell so that it is not wasted when the
channel is idle. Fixed E1 DS0s can be used to transport ISDN PRI traffic.

N x 64 kbit/s
An N x 64 kbit/s port that conforms to both V.35 and EIA 530 is standard on
the RS-200 and optional on the RS-150. The data rate on this port can be from
64 kbit/s to 31 x 64 kbit/s. Essentially it is a variable sized CBR (constant bit
rate) data conduit. Although it is best suited for CBR data such as streaming
video, it can be used to pass frame relay and other data transparently.
POTS
The RS-100, and RS-150 provide standard 2-wire (RJ-11) telephone lines for
use where the end user does not have a PBX. The RS-150 is sold with 2, 4, or 8
lines enabled. The RS-100 has 2 POTS ports.

2-13
Capacity
Limits
DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL
The capacity of the system is affected at three levels: the network interface, the
sector interface, and the RS interface.
Dynamic Allocation
In certain cases the ClearBurst™ MB senses when no data is being transmitted

by an RS and reallocates the bandwidth to other RSs. This allows the operator
to make good use of the available spectrum by sharing resources.
CBR Vs UBR
For each sector the operator can specify the percentage of available bandwidth
that will be used for CBR data (POTS, fixed E1, dynamicE1, and Nx64kbit/s).
The remaining bandwidth is used by UBR data (Ethernet).

Class of service
In order to implement a SLA (Service Level Agreement) the operator assigns

each RS a class of service that specifies the bandwidth available to it for
Ethernet (UBR) data under various conditions. Each class of service has an
upstream MR (Maximum data Rate), an upstream CR (Committed data Rate),
a downstream MR, a downstream CR, and a priority level. The priority level
determines how the data rate changes from maximum to committed and lower
as congestion increases. The higher the priority level the longer the RS will be
kept at the higher data rates. The upstream and downstream rates are specified
separately as multiples of 16 kbit/s.
The MR is the maximum rate. UBR data will never be passed faster than the
maximum rate. The CR is lower than the maximum rate and is the rate
provided when congestion increases to a point determined by the RS’s class of
service. For example an RS with a bronze class of service will drop to the CR
when mild congestion occurs; however, an RS with a gold class of service will
not drop to the CR until high congestion occurs. Under conditions of extreme
congestion, the data rates available to all RS’s will be lowered below the CR.
Management related data on the operator’s bridge has the lowest CR and will
always be given priority even under conditions of severe congestion. See table
2-2.

2-15
Control
The operator monitors and controls the ClearBurst™ MB by reading data from
and writing data to objects in a data base (the SNMP MIB). In most case access
DESCRIPTION
is by means of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol); however, a few
FUNCTIONAL
objects can be accessed by a simple command line interface over a serial link.
The operator uses a management station to make the SNMP link to the MIB.
The operator can access the MIB directly using any management station (NMS
EMs ETC.) that supports SNMP V1. Alternatively the operator can use a
common PC to access the MIB through an intermediate web server resident on
the BS or RS. The PC uses standard HTTP to communicate with the web server
which uses SNMP to read and write the MIB as requested. The user interface
on the PC is a user friendly GUI which we refer to as the craft GUI. A PC
operating in this mode is referred to as a craft workstation.
We provide two management stations that support SNMP directly: an EMS and
an NMS. The EMS is adequate for small networks: the NMS is a full feature
system for large networks
In addition to the MIB, the operator has the usual physical controls: switches,
status LEDS, external alarm inputs, and relays.

The CW (Craft Workstation)
The craft workstation is simply a computer that has MicroSoft® Internet

Explorer, a terminal emulation program such Hyperterminal, an RS-232
interface, and an Ethernet port. The operating system used by the computer
must be Windows 2000.
The terminal emulation program is used to communicate with a command line
interpreter in the BS. Command line mode is very limited and used only at the
BS to set the IP address and subnet mask so that the web server can be
accessed. To use command line mode, the operator simply connects the CW
running the terminal emulation program to the RS-232 port on the BS, and
enters the appropriate command lines as indicated in the instruction manuals.
The browser is used to run the CW’s principle interface: a craft GUI provided
by HTML code and a JAVA script from the station’s web server. To remotely
access the web server, the CW requires a network connection to the IP host in
the RS or BS. A PPP connection is required for a local connection to the
RS-50/150/200. The RS-50L/100 and the BS can be accessed locally through
their Ethernet ports.
Both command line mode and web mode function locally or remotely: remote
command line mode on Telnet, and remote web mode on TCP/IP.

The EMS
The EMS is a software package that runs on a computer connected to the

operator’s WAN and uses the SNMP protocol. It provides a hierarchical
graphical rendition of all the BSs and RSs in its management domain, and
provides fault management and event forwarding for those stations. Large
DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL
networks may use a combination of EMSs and NMSs, with the EMSs
forwarding alarms to the NMS.
The EMS is a combination of our StarView™ network control software and the
same craft GUI used by the CW.
The NMS
Like the EMS, the NMS is a software package that runs on a computer
connected to the operator’s WAN and uses the SNMP protocol. The NMS can
communicate directly with the stations or it can collect information from one
or more EMSs.
We offer Netboss™ as an NMS.
Third Party NMS or EMS
You do not have to use the EMS and NMS offered by Harris. The ClearBurst™
MB can be controlled by any other network management system that uses
SNMP version 1.

Provisioning
To provision RSs with various services the operator downloads a provisioning

file to the base station. The craft GUI can be used to create and download the
provisioning file to the base station. Or the provisioning file can be created with
an ASCII editor and downloaded with any FTP utility. We recommend that you
use one method only, since the two methods are not necessarily compatible
with each other. Most operators will choose to use the GUI, since it is much
easier and more convenient.
Billing Support
The Clearburst supports billing by creating billing accounting files (BAFs) on

the BS. These files record UBR (Ethernet) activity between the BS and the RSs.
The operator can use FTP to upload the BAFs to the billing system.
Protection
We offer power supply protection, 1+1 protection for the modems and the
transceivers, 1+1 protection for the ATM network interface card, and 1+1
protection for the controller cards.
The hot swap card allows the operator to change most cards while the system is
powered; meaning that in a protected system, faulty cards can be replaced
without interrupting traffic. The hot swap card also provides a bridge between
domain-A and domain-B.
Security
All data on the air interface is encrypted to ensure that it can not be intercepted
by third parties.

Latency Control
In real time two way communication systems, the latency caused by the time
taken to load and unload data packets can cause echo and irritating delays. The
DESCRIPTION
Clearburst™ MB allows the operator to adjust latency for CBR data, trading

capacity for low latency as required.
Easy Software Upgrades
Because the ClearBurst™ MB is an evolving product, we have made provisions

to easily upgrade your system as new features become available. In most cases
the upgrade will just be a matter of downloading new operating software. This
can be done locally or remotely and causes minimal interruption of service. An
easy to use upgrade utility is provided.

FREQUENCY PLANNING
Center Frequencies
FREQUENCY
PLANNING
A Clearburst™ MB cell can have 1 to 4 sectors. Each sector must be assigned a
center frequency for downstream communications and a center frequency for
upstream communications.
The center frequencies used by adjacent sectors must be different; and, if cross
polarization is used, they must be separated by at least the channel bandwidth
in use. If cross polarization is not used, the separation must be greater.In
addition the downstream and upstream frequencies in a given sector must be
separated by at least 100 MHz for 3.5 GHz and 350 MHz for 10.5 GHz.
The transmit and receive center frequencies for the transceiver are
programmable, but they must be set within the passband of the ACU’s transmit
and receive filters.
The 10.5 GHz ODU has a single ACU option to cover the 10.15 GHz to
10.65 GHz band as shown in table 4-1. The 3.5 GHz system has 3 ACU options,
as shown in table 4-2, to cover different segments of the 3.400 GHz to 3.600
GHz band. In the BS and RS these ACUs are connected so that the downstream
frequency is always above the upstream frequency. See chapter 5 in the manual
Trouble Shooting and Maintenance for part and option numbers of the ODUs
and transceivers.
In most cases the frequency selection will be based a on a standard channel
plan such as those given in tables 4-4 through 4-6 and will take into account the
frequencies used by neighboring cells.

Channel Bandwidth
The channel bandwidth is the amount of spectrum that the downstream or

upstream signal occupies. It is directly proportional to the amount of data the
channel can carry, using a given modulation type and is indirectly proportional
to the number of channels that you can use in a given band. If the sector has a
few high-traffic RSs, a large channel bandwidth is better. If the sector has many
low-traffic RSs a smaller channel bandwidth is better. The channel bandwidth
selected may limit provisioning.
Table 4-3 shows the bandwidths available and the raw data transmission rate
per sector for each one.

SYSTEM DESIGN, AN OVERVIEW

Designing a BWA system can be quite complicated.
The system designer must decide:
• How many cells are needed to service the target area
• Where to place the base stations
• How many sectors to use on each base station
• How many remote stations to assign to each sector
• Which frequencies and polarization to use for each sector
SYSTEM DESIGN,
AN OVERVIEW
• Which channel bandwidth to use for each sector
• Which modulation index to use for each sector
• What OEM equipment is required
• How to connect the cells to the service providers
• How to provide for future expansion
• How to manage the system
To make these decisions the system designer must consider the following
factors:
• The size of the target area
• The terrain in the target area
• The local climate and weather patterns
• The number of users
• The distribution of users within the target area
• The capacity requirements of the users
• The types of services required by the users
• Who service providers are
• Financial constraints and profitability
Some operators may be able to design their own systems; however, most will
contract the task to someone else who has the necessary expertise and
experience. If this is your case, please consider using Harris. We offer a
complete system design service at competitive rates and we know the product.

INSTALLATION
MAINTENANCE
Installation Overview
AND
Installation of the ClearBurst™ MB is relatively simple. The physical
installation can be done by non-technical personnel with some basic training.
Configuration requires more knowledge and training but is well within the
capabilities of the average technician. Following is a brief overview of the
material, tools, and tasks that are required to install the basic BS and RS.

6-2 Installation And Maintenance Requirements
Site Requirements
The BS requires a shelter for the IDU and one or more 114mm (4.5“) diameter
pipes mounted on a tower or a building, or other high location. The RS requires
a shelter for the IDU and a pipe1 mounted in a high place. The cabling distance
between the ODU and the IDU at the base station must be less than 300 M. At
the remote station it must be less than 100 M. In both cases a good grounding
point must be available. A waterproof entry for the coaxial cable into the shelter
must also be provided.
Material
• Coaxial cable and connectors

• Cable supports (Ty-rap or other)
• Lightning arrestors
• Coaxial cable grounding kits
• Waterproofing kits
• Grounding cable
• Misc. hardware (anchoring bolts etc.)

Explorer web browser (Version 5.5), and a terminal emulation
program). The operating system must Windows 2000.
1. 44.5 mm (1.75”) to 114 mm (4.5”) diameter for 10.5 GHz ODU or a 38 mm (1.50 in.) to 73 mm
(2.875 in.) diameter for the 3.5 GHz ODU

6-3
A summary of BS Installation
1. For each ODU, clamp the mounting hardware to the pipe so that the ODU
support is towards and centered in it’s sector.
2. Mount the ODUs on the mounting hardware, adjust the elevation, and
tighten the mounting screws.
3. Run coaxial cables1 from each ODU to the interior of the IDU shelter and
waterproof the cable entries. Note the length of the cables2.
4. Connect the coaxial cables to the ODUs and waterproof the connections.
5. Ground the ODUs.
6. Ground the coaxial shielding near the ODU, just before it enters the shelter
and at the antenna side of every tight (90º or more) bend.
7. Bolt the BS IDU rack to the shelter floor.
8. Ground the rack.
9. Connect power from the power supply3 to the IDU.
10. Check the continuity of the coaxial cables. A shorted cable can damage the
equipment.
11. Install lightning arrestors.

4. Refer to The System Operator Interface Manual for more details.

A Summary of RS Installation
1. Taking polarization and direction into consideration, mount the ODU on a

pipe in a high place at the end user’s premise. Then roughly align the ODU
with the BS.
2. Ground the ODU.
3. Connect the coaxial cable to the ODU and waterproof the connection.
4. Install a grounding block near the cable entry to the shelter.
5. Run a coaxial cable from the ODU to the grounding block and connect it to
the grounding block. Note the length of the cable1.
6. Place or mount the IDU in a convenient place (on a table or shelf, in a rack,
to the wall).
7. Run coaxial cable from the IDU through the cable entry to the grounding
block and connect it to the block. Note the length of the cable.
8. Waterproof the entry.
9. Check the continuity of the coaxial cable. A shorted cable will damage the
IDU.
10. Connect the coaxial cable to the IDU.
11. Ground the RS-100 or RS-150.
12. For the RS-150/200, plug the IDU’s power cord into a standard AC outlet
and switch the unit on.
For the RS-50L/100, plug connect the AC adapter between the AC outlet
and the IDU.
13. For the RS-150/200, connect a voltmeter to the AGC test point on the ODU
and adjust the ODU’s elevation and azimuth to obtain a maximum AGC
(RSSI) voltage.
For the RS-50L/100, connect the AAU and a voltmeter to the spare IF
connector and adjust the azimuth to have a maximum IF level.
14. Configure the RS.
15. Connect the services (LAN, N x 64 kbit/s, E1, etc.).
16. Provision the RS.
1. During configuration the length is entered so that the system can compute and set a compensation
factor.

6-5
Maintenance
Maintaining the ClearBurst™ MB consists of replacing the fan filters on the BS

IDU every 90 days and replacing faulty modules.
The ClearBurst™ MB monitors itself and identifies faulty modules; in most
cases before they cause traffic outage.
Because module replacement is simple and well documented, it can be done by
moderately skilled people. On a protected system, many modules can be
replaced with virtually no interruption to traffic. On a non-protected system the
hot swap feature allows modules to be changed with very little effect on traffic.
Once a faulty module has be removed from the system it is returned to Harris
for repair or replacement.

procedures and other related information.

multiplexing, because transmissions occur in fixed-sized cells. If an
application is given these cells on a periodic basis, ATM offers a fixed
throughput every second, and therefore ATM can be used for circuit-mode
or circuit-emulation traffic. ATM is asynchronous because the recurrence
of cells from an individual application is not necessarily periodic.
