INNOVATIVE

INVALUABLE

PAS ingeniously transforms copper networks into high-capacity wireless networks capable of providing voice and data services with citywide mobility and roaming. PAS offers subscribers the benefit of convenient, reliable mobile service.

PAS reduces infrastructure and deployment costs by leveraging existing networks. PAS transforms legacy systems into next generation systems equipped to migrate to broadband and packetswitched technology.

PERSONAL ACCESS SYSTEM

SUPERIOR WIRELESS. DEPENDABLE SOLUTIONS. DIVERSE SERVICES. Ever-expanding markets require fast-paced, reliable and costeffective telecommunication solutions. For high-demand urban or suburban areas, UTStarcom’s PAS delivers unparalleled wireless voice, data and Internet services to users within a city or community. Advantages include: Simple, rapid deployment With PAS, service providers can quickly build out the wireless access network, bypassing the time-consuming process of installing the copper infrastructure. Services can be instantly deployed to meet operator and subscriber requirements. The system’s dynamic channel allocation feature enables easy network expansion as demand grows. Unlimited scalability Employing a micro-cell topology, PAS supports traffic densities of up to 15,000 subscribers per square kilometer. With a modular architecture, PAS is economical to deploy for any city serving from 10,000 to more than 1,000,000 subscribers.

New business opportunities PAS enables the service providers to quickly expand the subscriber base and offer services that would not be possible with a traditional wireline network. Service providers can generate new revenue by offering PAS as a second line or as an extension line with citywide mobility, wireless Internet access at speeds up to 64Kb/s, text messaging, locationbased information services and email. Quick return on investment PAS requires a low initial investment, deploys quickly and offers new revenue-generating services. These features allow service providers to achieve profitability much quicker than the alternative of building a costly and time-consuming wireline network. CONFIGURABLE ARCHITECTURE. Designed with an open architecture, PAS interconnects with existing PSTN in two main configurations at either the V5 or SS7 interface. V5 interface configuration (PAS) PAS connects to the existing local exchange switch via the V5.1, V5.2 or analog interface using the Network Interface Unit (NIU). The Air Traffic Controller (ATC) provides mobility and roaming management throughout the network. By integrating PAS into the existing local switching network, service providers can take full advantage of unused switching capacity and existing switched-based services such as caller ID, call forwarding and voice mail.

SS7 interface configuration (IP-based PAS) When combined with UTStarcom’s WACOS IP-based switching platform, PAS can be deployed independently from the existing local switch and connect to the PSTN via the SS7 interface. In this configuration, the PAS Gateway together with the server cluster provides local switching capability, mobility management and service creation. IP-based PAS is ideal for large installation sites or for areas where the V5.2 interface is not yet available. Radio base stations PAS radio base stations – consisting of the Radio Port (RP) and Radio Port Controller (RPC) – are easy to deploy and maintain. The RP, deployed at strategic locations throughout the network, communicates with the subscriber terminals via the air interface and relays the information via ordinary copper cables to the RPC located at the wiring center. Server cluster The PAS server cluster is based on an industry standard computing platform and can be scaled according to network capacity and service requirements. The server cluster performs the following functions: subscriber authentication, mobility and roaming management, value-added services, Internet access server, subscriber management, network configuration, fault management, accounting management and customer self-care.

INTERNATIONAL

INTERPERSONAL

INTEGRATED

PAS complies with international communication standards and thus can be utilized in most countries. So no matter the market, UTStarcom has a wireless solution ready for immediate deployment.

UTStarcom keeps people across the world in touch. In China, for example, over 1.5 million subscribers use PAS to make voice and data connections every day.

PAS, part of the complete suite of UTStarcom network products, provides mobile voice and data services. AN-2000™ is a broadband wireline solution configurable for all transmission media. WACOS™ is an IP-based switching platform that supports voice and data over wireless or wireline networks.

Subscriber equipment PAS offers three types of customer terminal: a PAS handset or personal station (PS) for citywide mobility, a fixed subscriber unit (FSU) for fixed wireless access and a PAS data suite for high-speed Internet access. With an open air interface standard, PAS supports an environment of multi-vendor subscriber equipment. DEPLOYMENT AND SERVICES. Wireless CityPhone With PAS, both subscribers and service providers win. Subscribers get the convenience of personal access with the compact, digital pocket phone and one-number, citywide mobility. Service providers enjoy the simplicity of local exchange switch re-use, billing and feature transparency and quick service start-up. Wireless pair gain PAS allows service providers to rapidly deploy services in urban or suburban areas where cable infrastructures are fully saturated. With traffic concentration capability, PAS effectively increases copper network capacity by a factor of 20 or more. No new cable construction, therefore, is required to satisfy new demands. Business communication Deployed in business offices, industrial complexes, shopping malls and university campuses, PAS provides access to people who are constantly on the move and need to be reached at all times.

Mobile Internet access With a PAS data suite, subscribers enjoy instant access to the Internet anytime, anywhere within the network. PAS supports data access at 32 Kb/s or 64 Kb/s. Short Message Service (SMS) Using a handset, PAS subscribers can send or receive text messages among PAS or GSM subscribers. Location-based information service PAS allows subscribers with a handset to conveniently access information such as nearby restaurants, hotels, shops and theaters. If an emergency arises, PAS can be used to track a subscriber’s current location. C-mode service PAS subscribers are constantly in touch with instant information services such as news, stock quotes, local temperature, instant messages and email access. TOMORROW’S TECHNOLOGY TODAY. Like all UTStarcom solutions, PAS is future-ready. PAS enables seamless migration to packet-switched technologies, allowing for even more reliable connections, less data corruption and enhanced streaming media.
