CHAPTER 1. Introducing the Vanu Anywave BSS
Introduction
Welcome to the Vanu Anywave Base Station Subsystem Operator Guide. This manual is designed to serve as a knowledge
resource for the Vanu system currently installed at your site, and to assist you in your role as System Operator. This guide
focuses on ongoing system maintenance, and prepares you to provide first line technical support for your Anywave BSS.
The following is a high level overview of the scope and objectives of this guide:

What makes Vanu Anywave BSS different?
The Vanu Anywave GSM BSS provides radio access network functionality by implementing the BTS (Base Transceiver
Station) in software running on a general-purpose server. Signal processing, protocol processing, and all other radio access
network functionality are implemented as application level software running on top of a Debian GNU/Linux system.
The Anywave BTS system uses Protium wideband RF front ends from Protium Technologies.
The Vanu Anywave BSS is composed of three major subsystems:
•RF front end, supporting the 850 MHz band, and providing Analog-to-Digital and Digital-to-Analog conversion
•Signal Processing
•Back end network connectivity
Vanu, Inc. integrates these subsystems, running its software on top of the COTS hardware that comprises a complete radio
access network, including the traditional functionality of the BTS.
