Introduction
The S1000C 3G+4G Small Cell Device is an indoor small cell intended for use by
small to medium size businesses. The device contains an S1000 coupled with the
CDMA FAP in a single enclosure. The combination of the S1000 and cFAP allows
both data and voice capability in a single offering.
The S1000C offers any-to-any mobility through LTE technology, offering users
seamless mobility between indoor and outdoor coverage. It also offers dual-
concurrent 2.4/5 GHz 802.11ac WiFi to deliver high data rates and performance.
The WiFi capabilities include automatic channel selection and Interference avoidance,
and Band steering to 5GHz for supporting devices. Up to 12 SSIDs are supported with
transparent authentication of public SSIDs using the 802.1x protocol.
Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) enables circuit switched voice and SMS services to
be delivered to dual radio Long Term Evolution (LTE) component of the S1000C, then
switched to the 3G network running on the internal cFAP. In this release, the cFAP
used is the C4500 (CDMA).

•How data goes over the Internet on page 4-4
•Using the External GPS Antenna on page 4-5
•Maintenance on page 4-6
How the S1000C works
The S1000C is a small cell base station with a radio unit that is similar to a cell tower
radio. The base station uses a low-power antenna to transmit data cellular signals in
your small and medium business locations.
Base stations give you better cellular coverage because they provide a stronger signal.
A strong signal can extend battery life. Also, data applications on Smartphones and
other mobile email devices, work faster.
WiFi
The S1000 has an internal router that supports dual band radios (2.4GHz and 5GHz).
Each radio supports 6 Virtual Access Points (VAP), 2 public and 4 private. Both radios
share SSIDs that are not editable across VAPs.
Users with dual band radio capable receivers will reap the benefits of shared SSID and
security credentials, and will enjoy a high quality user experience.
Users who travel out of range will migrate to the 2.4 GHz Radio band, and users near
the S1000 will migrate to the 5GHz Radio Band to utilize higher data rates.
You can manage the WiFi capabilities of the S1000 internal router. For more
information, see the Airvana S1000 Router Guide (913110).

Broadband connection
The S1000C connects to an Operator’s network through a broadband Internet
connection.
Connection speed
The S1000C’s actual transmission speed is only as fast as the maximum broadband
connection speed. Internet congestion, the number of users on the provider’s network,
and other factors can decrease the actual broadband connection speed. Individual
bandwidth needs vary per customer. CommScope recommends a minimum of 3 Mbps
downstream and 1.8 Mbps upstream for data services.
The following table shows recommended bandwidth by usage type:
Usage Type Recommended Download
Speed Recommended Upload
Speed
Wireless Data Up to 3 Mbps per session Up to 1.0 Mbps per session
eCSFB
Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) enables circuit switched voice and SMS services to
be delivered to dual radio Long Term Evolution (LTE) devices such as the S1000.
Because the S1000 cannot process the 3G traffic internally, it switches the traffic
(“falls back”) to the 3G network running on the internal CMDA cFAP device.
In this release, the cFAP used is the C4500 (CDMA). The cFAP does not require
special configuration; the ability to discover and employ the services of the cFAP is
enabled by default.
Refer to the Airvana Small Cell Deployment Guide (913111) to learn more about the
eCSFB feature.
Discovery and data exchange
Figure 4-1 shows the internal layout of the S1000C. Data and voice traffic from the
backhaul passes through a switch and into the WAN port of the S1000 board. Data
traffic is handled by the 4G capabilities of the S1000 board. Voice traffic is routed to
the LAN port of the cFAP board to be processed on the 3G network.

Discovery and information exchange
The S1000C WAN port is connected to a switch to the network backhaul. The cFAP
board’s WAN port is connected to the S1000 board’s LAN port.
1The S1000C FAP broadcasts its presence on its LAN port from boot up if CSFB to
cFAP is enabled and the PairedRefCellId parameter is configured.
2The cFAP device listens on the WAN port for broadcast messages.
3The cFAP device, upon receiving this message, acquires the S1000C
IP address/port number.
4The cFAP initiates a dedicated connection towards the S1000C, where the cFAP
and S1000 exchange CDMA2000 parameters.
5The interface is UDP based.

How data goes over the Internet
LTE data and voice traffic passes between the S1000C and the Internet over the
broadband connection device attached to the WAN port of the S1000C. Services and
applications provided by the ISP, such as Internet browsing, make use of this path.
Voice traffic is switched internally to the 3G network.
The S1000’s internal WiFi router generates signals on 2.4G and 5G modes. This WiFi
capability allows wireless devices, such as smartphones and tablets to connect to the
S1000C’s WiFi network and use local services such as data sharing and printing.
Access to the Internet for the users of the WiFi network is provided over the S1000C’s
WAN port. WiFi performance rates can be affected by the WAN connection speed
(refer to Broadband connection on page 4-2).

Using the External GPS Antenna
Use the external GPS antenna if the internal antenna of your S1000C does not work
(indicated by a solid red GPS LED for more than 2 hours). Connect the external GPS
antenna to your device's GPS connection port.
If you use the optional GPS antenna:
• Place the external GPS antenna horizontally on a flat surface as close to a window
as possible. The antenna works best in an open area where it can easily pick up
signals.
• Do not place the GPS antenna:
• Outdoors; it is not weatherproof
• Behind large, heavy objects such as furniture; doing so could affect the signal.
Refer to External GPS antenna setup on page 2-9 for external GPS antenna setup.
TIP
Using the external GPS antenna in buildings with open floor plans allows the
S1000C to be positioned in a central location; improving coverage throughout the
building.

FAQs
Why does the S1000C need a GPS antenna?
The S1000C has a GPS antenna so that it can:
• Synchronize properly with the rest of the Operator’s network.
• Determine and select the correct radio frequencies available in your area so that
the S1000C uses the correct ones.
Why does the S1000C need an external GPS antenna?
Your device needs the external antenna only when the internal GPS antenna cannot
lock on to sufficient satellite signals. The external antenna lets the S1000C lock on to
the greatest number of satellites.
What should I do if the GPS fails to acquire a lock?
NOTE
For first-time S1000C startup, it could take up to 2 hours for the S1000C to achieve
GPS lock.
If you have not already connected the external GPS antenna, connect the antenna
following the steps in When is your S1000C ready to use? on page 2-7.
If you have connected the external GPS antenna and the GPS LED blinks red after 30
minutes, the GPS has failed to acquire a Time Fix. The S1000C will go into GPS
Holdover for a 24 hour period. Call Customer Care during this time period.
What happens to the S1000C if there is a power outage or if you lose
Internet access?
The S1000C needs both a broadband Internet connection and a constant power supply
to work. During a power outage your device will immediately switch to the Sprint
network.
Can you move the S1000C to another location?
Yes, you can move your device to another location within the Sprint network.
However, to move your device to a different address, you must first update your
service address by logging into your account on www.sprint.com.
