Figure 2 Products above MCV value label
Together with major international telecommunications equipment companies, Nokia
has determined it is appropriate to use an EFUP of 50 years for network
infrastructure equipment and an EFUP of 20 years for handsets and accessories.
These values are based on manufacturers' extensive practical experience of the
design, manufacturing, maintenance, usage conditions, operating environments,
and physical condition of infrastructure and handsets after years of service. The
values reflect minimum values and refer to products operated according to the
intended use conditions. See “Hazardous Substances Table (HST)” for more
information.
2.2 Hazardous Substances Table (HST)
This section describes the compliance of the AP and HOU equipment to the CRoHS
standard when the product and subassemblies contain hazardous substances
beyond the MCV value. This information is found in this user documentation where
part numbers for the product and subassemblies are listed. It may be referenced in
other documentation that describes the AP or HOU equipment.
In accordance with the People’s Republic of China Electronic Industry Standard
Marking for the Control of Pollution Caused by Electronic Information Products
(SJ/T11364-2006), customers may access the Nokia Hazardous Substance Table,
in Chinese, from the following location:

5.7 Compatible CPE
5.1 WPON solution
The Nokia Wireless PON solution is an ideal technology for fixed operators to use as
an alternative to a physical fiber drop. It provides a 60 GHz wireless drop for a PON
or P2P-based optic network so that fiber optic cables are not used for connection to
subscribers’ homes. The WPON solution can be deployed tactically to provide
ubiquitous coverage to service areas where fiber is impractical, or strategically for a
whole service area as a lower-cost alternative to Gigabit fiber to the home.
The WPON has an Access Point (AP) that physically connects to the PON or
P2P-based optic network. The AP uses wireless communication with up to eight
Home Outside Units (HOUs) per AP that provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to
CPE inside the subscriber homes.
Connectivity from the AP to the PON, or 1 Gigabit Ethernet or 10 Gigabit Ethernet
P2P-based optic network, is done through an SFP module that can be installed in the
SFP cage of the AP. The SFP module can be an SFP ONT or a P2P optical Ethernet
uplink SFP.
The WPON solution delivers ultra broadband access over short distances with
limited interference between systems because of narrow beams and inherent
propagation limitations of this standard.
Figure 5 shows a high-level representation of the WPON solution providing a
wireless drop from a PON or P2P-based optic network to three subscriber homes.

The WPON solution can also be used directly with a network that does not include
an ISAM.
A PON or a P2P-based optic network can have multiple WPONs; for example, the
EMAN that uses the 7360 ISAM shown in Figure 6 has three WPONs.
5.1.1 APs
An AP can be installed on a pole such as a utility pole or light pole, or on the outside
of a building and uses wireless line-of-sight communication with up to eight HOUs up
to 100 m away. The AP can be considered to be a directional multi-Gigabit access
point. An AP contains a GPS and magnetometer, enabling it to report its location and
orientation to the management system.
An AP can be a Head AP, Relay AP, or an Extension AP.

5.1.1.1 Head AP
The Head AP is an AP that is connected to a PON or P2P-based optic network; it
provides the optical-to-wireless conversion for the WPON. Every WPON has a Head
AP. Depending on the WPON topology, the Head AP might be the only AP in the
WPON or it might have wireless connectivity to other APs in the WPON.
A pole-mounted Head AP can connect to an Extension AP.
5.1.1.2 Relay AP
The Relay AP is an AP that has wireless connectivity to other APs in a WPON, either
to the Head AP and/or to other Relay APs in the WPON. A Relay AP cannot be
connected to a PON or P2P-based optic network.
A pole-mounted Relay AP can be connected to an Extension AP.
5.1.1.3 Extension AP
The Extension AP is an AP that does not have wireless connectivity to other APs in
a WPON. It can be installed with a Head AP or Relay AP on a pole to provide wider
wireless coverage, such as to HOUs on houses on both sides of a street. In this case
the pair of APs are connected to each other through a 1 Gigabit electrical Ethernet
cable that handles all the traffic between the two APs. Figure 7 shows an AP pair,
with each AP of the AP pair employing wireless line-of-sight communication with
three HOUs; the figure does not indicate which AP is the Head AP and which AP is
the Extension AP.

WPON Product Overview WPON solution overview
Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 39
5.1.2 HOUs
An HOU provides the wireless-to-Gigabit Ethernet electrical conversion for the
WPON solution at the subscriber premises. An HOU can be considered to be a
wireless station (STA). An HOU is installed on the outside of a subscriber’s home and
uses a UTP cat-5 electrical cable for physical connectivity to CPE such as a
residential gateway inside the home. The same cable is used to provide power over
Ethernet to the HOU, using power provided by the residential gateway or from a PoE
injector. An HOU contains a GPS and magnetometer, enabling it to report its location
and orientation to the management system.
The HOU is easy to install and may be installed or replaced by subscribers if
considered appropriate.
After physical installation and power up, an HOU automatically connects to the best
AP available, reports its presence, gets configured, and initiates service per the
customer subscribed service type.
5.1.3 APs and HOUs in WPONs
At a minimum, a WPON consists of one AP and at least one HOU.
A WPON has a single NNI point at the optical connection point of the AP with the
PON or P2P-based optic network. This AP is the Head AP.
A WPON can have multiple UNI points, one at each HOU that is part of the WPON.
The number and types of APs and HOUs in a WPON depends on the topology used
for the WPON. See section 5.2 for more information about WPON topologies.
5.2 WPON topologies
The WPON solution can be set up in the following topologies:
•basic WPON topology
•wireless daisy chain topology
5.2.1 Basic WPON topology
The basic WPON topology consists of a single AP or AP pair that connects to the
PON or P2P-based optic network and provides wireless communications to HOUs
through wireless line-of-sight communication. The topology shown in Figure 5 is an
example of the basic WPON topology. The network shown in Figure 6 has three
basic WPONs.
![](/img.php?id=3956497&img=bg28.png)
WPON solution overview
40
WPON Product Overview
3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA Issue: 01
The basic WPON topology requires a Head AP to connect to the fiber optic network;
the Head AP may also connect to an Extension AP. The basic WPON topology does
not have Relay APs.
5.2.2 Wireless daisy chain topology
A WPON can be set up in a linear or a branched, non-looped, daisy chain topology
so that APs can use line-of-sight wireless communication with other APs in the
WPON. A Head AP is connected to the PON or P2P-based optic network; the other
APs in the daisy chain are Relay APs. The fiber optical connection at the Head AP
supports all the subscribers that are served by all the APs in the daisy chain. Each
Relay AP in the daisy chain automatically uses self backhaul so that all upstream
traffic is transmitted to the PON or P2P-based optic network through the Head AP. A
total of three APs, including the Head AP, with a maximum of two hops, can be
supported in a daisy chain topology. Extension APs are not included as APs and are
not included in the hop count.
In a linear daisy chain topology, an AP communicates with one downstream AP. In
a branched daisy chain topology, an AP communicates with more than one
downstream AP.
The Head AP can use wireless line-of-sight communication with up to two
downstream Relay APs and up to eight HOUs. A Relay AP can use wireless
line-of-sight communication with up to two APs (including one upstream AP, which
could be the Head AP or another Relay AP), and up to eight HOUs for a maximum
of three APs in total in the daisy chain topology. The Relay AP can also function as
a connection between two APs without connecting to any HOU.
Figure 8 shows a linear daisy chain that has two Relay APs. Each of the APs in the
example has wireless communications with three HOUs.

5.3 WPON architecture
A WPON is made up:
•an underlay network
•one or more overlay networks
5.3.1 Underlay network
The underlay network serves as an IP-based network that provides connectivity
between all the APs and HOUs in the WPON. The underlay network uses RIP for
route distribution and routing for the APs and HOUs using IP addresses that are
assigned by a DHCP server hosted in the Head AP.
The Head AP has an internal DHCP server and it delivers IP addresses to the HOUs.
Other APs perform DHCP relay. The IGMP proxy function is in the Head AP,
A WPON has a single underlay network.
The underlay network is managed through the WPON manager. See section 5.5.1
for more information about the WPON manager.

WPON Product Overview WPON solution overview
Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 43
5.3.2 Overlay network
The overlay network is a virtual network that provides L2 connectivity between an
HOU and its associated AP through the use of a GRE tunnel. The overlay network
provides logical P2P connectivity on top of the underlay network. The WPON solution
behaves like a L2 network where Ethernet frames are cross connected on a tagged
VLAN basis between the NNI (which is an AP) and UNI (which is an HOU).
A WPON has an overlay network for each HOU in the WPON.
If an HOU is associated with an AP that is part of a basic WPON topology, the AP
(which is a Head AP) and the HOU function as a Layer 2 switch with the AP being
the NNI point and a GRE tunnel endpoint and with the HOU being the UNI point and
the other GRE tunnel endpoint.
The GRE tunnel is always setup between head-AP and UNI port, regardless of
WPON topology used.
A GRE tunnel carries Ethernet frames both directions between the HOU and AP.
Each HOU has a private IP address and an X.509 certificate. The Head AP has a
DHCP server to assign internal IP addresses, with each wireless segment having its
own subnet. In the AP, the remote IP address is unspecified and learned
dynamically, and each GRE tunnel in the WPON is assigned a unique key. The
DSCP field of the IP header of the GRE tunnel packets is used to preserve QoS
inside the WPON. The DSCP values match the traffic class to which the flow carried
inside is mapped. On the wireless interfaces, queue selection is done based on the
DSCP values.
For multicast traffic, an IGMP proxy is used in the AP to dynamically build the
multicast forwarding tree so that multicast traffic is passed to the GRE tunnels for
delivery to the HOUs.
In the downstream direction, the AP transmits only subscriber-specific traffic
(including multicast traffic that the subscriber subscribes to) over the overlay network
to the associated HOU (that is, it is the AP, not the HOU, that differentiates traffic that
is not intended for the subscriber associated with each HOU, for example, traffic with
an unknown destination or traffic destined for other stations associated with the AP).
APs use priority queues on a weighted fair queuing basis to ensure that each HOU
gets a fair share of the bandwidth (upstream and downstream).
Overlay networks, including GRE tunnels, are created and managed through the
WPON manager. See section 5.5.1 for more information about the WPON manager.
5.4 WPON services
The WPON solution supports the following services:
•high speed Internet
•voice over IP
•broadcast TV

The WPON manager provides a GUI that provides the following:
•device list, with information such as name, type, connection status, alignment
status, and health for each AP and HOU in the WPON
•topology history that shows information such as topology version, timestamp, and
user name and allows you to view a graphical comparison of topology versions of
the WPON
•network list that provides the AP name, interface name, interface mode, IP
address, and subnet for each WPON
The WPON manager is provided as an extension or plug-in as part of the Altiplano.
When you create and provision APs and HOUs and create GRE tunnels and services
through the WPON manager, the information is passed to the Altiplano. See section
5.5.2 for more information about the Altiplano.
5.5.2 WPON management through the Nokia Altiplano
The Nokia Altiplano is a cloud-native access platform that consists of two products:
•the Nokia Altiplano Access Controller:
•The Access Controller is the domain controller for unified management of both SDN
and traditional access networks. It offers a wide range of APIs and tools, such as field
force, service fulfillment, service assurance and task center applications that help to
visualize, automate, optimize and enhance the network. It provides automation, easy
integration with the OSS/BSS and flexible programming of end-to-end services in the
access network.
•The Access Controller automates the network and provides software management,
backup and restore, and alarm collection functions
•the Nokia Altiplano Access Virtualizer:
•The Access Virtualizer is the cloud component that creates a virtualized and
centralized view of the network in the cloud. It offers the logic and primitives for
efficiently programming and monitoring the underlying network elements, without
having to deal with challenges such as node reachability and scalability when
connecting to hundreds of thousands of nodes
•The Access Virtualizer programs nodes and provides a persistent management
agent (PMA) function for the APs and HOUs in each WPON, and acts as a persistent
management agent aggregator towards the WPON manager; the persistent
management agent provides disaggregation of the management layer and
abstraction of the WPON via standard YANG models
The Altiplano provisions APs and HOUs in response to call-home messages sent by
the APs and HOUs to it after they have been created and provisioned through the
WPON manager.

5.5.3 WPON management through Bluetooth
Local craft terminal access for APs and HOUs is provided through a Bluetooth
interface (classical Bluetooth, reach greater than 20 m) on the AP or HOU.
The Bluetooth interface provides access to a Bluetooth server that is used for local
management of the AP or HOU through an app on a Bluetooth-equipped mobile
phone that can be used as a local terminal to access the AP or HOU for on-site
configuration, troubleshooting, or maintenance.
The app is a Native Mobile Application, which can assist in troubleshooting the AP
and HOU in case the connection towards the WPON manager is broken.
Connection between the mobile phone and the AP or HOU is established over
Bluetooth with a Personal Area Network (PAN) Profile using the MAC address. The
MAC address is retrieved from Quick Response (QR) code during QR scanning of
the AP or HOU.
The user logs in to the app using a default password that should be changed
immediately for security reasons via the Nokia Altiplano (PMA). After first login, the
password is securely stored (hashed) on the mobile phone, so credentials do not
need to be provided by the user in upcoming logins.
The app offers the possibility of performing different setup and troubleshooting
actions, such as setup of the AP or HOU, setting the time of day, displaying some
statistics, and performing resets, including to factory settings. The app can be used
to display the MAC address, serial number, and product type.
The app allows you to upload Certificate Authority (CA) certificates to the AP and
HOU from the mobile device. Uploading can be done by selecting the option Upload
CA certificates from the app main screen after successful login has taken place.
The app user must first manually download the certificates into the Download folder
on the mobile device before they can be uploaded to the WPON devices. Only the
following CA certificate names are valid for uploading to the WPON devices:
•pmaCA.pem
•radiusCA.pem
•logserverCA.pem
If the downloaded CA certificates do not adhere to these naming rules, the app user
must manually rename the files prior to uploading them so that the files upload
successfully.
See section 9.1.1 in this document for information about using the Bluetooth interface
to configure an AP.
See section 9.2.1 in this document for information about using the Bluetooth interface
to configure an HOU.

5.6 WPON planning considerations
WPON planning considerations include the following:
•planing the network:
•network topology of the APs and HOUs
•address pool for the Head AP in the public DHCP server
•IP route from Head AP's address to the WPON manager needs be configured; the
correct gateway address also be configured in the DHCP pool in the public DHCP
server
•Public DHCP server, radius server and the WPON manger need to be deployed
correctly; the following are important:
•correct CA certificate is installed to radius server, HTTPS file server (software image
repository) and WPON manager for call home
•WPON manager information is put to DHCP server as option 125 information for the
WPON head AP address pool
•correct software image is in the HTTPS file server
•APs and HOUs must have correct time and correct CA certificates
•serial numbers need to be put into the WPON manager to be able to do the
following:
•preparation of configurations for AP and HOU for their serial number, setting work
mode, L2/L3 configuration and WiGig configuration, update DHCP server
configuration in Head AP
•for configuration of option 43 in public DHCP server for permitted access device (APs
and HOUs)
•for all devices will be updated to the latest version from the WPON manager at the
same time
•for the operator to use the WPON manager to know whether the network topology is
correctly deployed
5.7 Compatible CPE
The HOU supports connection of any VLAN tagging compatible residential gateway
or router or similar Internet-access CPE that can connect to the HOU through the
Cat5 Ethernet cable attached to the HOU.
An example of CPE that can connect to the HOU is the Nokia Beacon 1 (HA-020W-A)
residential gateway.
See chapter 7 for more information about the HOU and its physical connections.

6.2 AP general description
APs are designed to provide the optical-to-wireless conversion for the WPON
solution by providing a fiber optic interface to the PON or P2P optical network along
with providing wireless 180 degree line-of-sight communication with up to eight
HOUs. Depending on the WPON topology, an AP can also provide wireless
line-of-sight communication with other APs. See chapter 5 for more information
about the WPON solution.
Connectivity from the AP to the PON or P2P-based optic network is done through an
SFP module that can be installed in the SFP cage of the AP. The SFP module can
be an SFP ONT or a P2P optical Ethernet uplink SFP.
On the wireless side, the AP uses 802.11ad supporting unlicensed 60 GHz mm
Wave wireless line-of-sight communication with 1 Gb/s peak speeds.
The AP is managed through the WPON manager and the Nokia Altiplano
cloud-native access platform. A local craft terminal access point is provided on the
AP through a Bluetooth interface (classical Bluetooth, reach greater than 20 m) for
management through an app. See section 5.5 in this document for more information
about management of the WPON solution.
The AP provides the following functions and features:
•optical to wireless conversion
•wireless Gigabit Ethernet channels
•Outside North America:
An AP provides three wireless Gigabit Ethernet channels: two channels are used to
connect to other APs, one channel is used for the drop interface to the HOU.

WPON Product Overview Fiber optic maintenance
Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 79
10 Fiber optic maintenance
10.1 Purpose
This chapter provides the steps for proper maintenance of fiber optic devices including fiber optic
receptacles and connectors.
10.2 General
Proper maintenance of fiber optic devices consists of inspection and, if necessary, cleaning of fiber
optic receptacles and connectors. Recommendations for handling fiber optic devices including
fiber optic jumper cables as well as the recommended acceptance criteria for fiber optic device
inspections appear below.
10.2.1 Handling considerations
Consider the following when handling fiber optic devices and accessories.
•The bend radius for single-mode optical cable should not be less than 2 in. (102 mm), and the
bend radius for multimode optical cable is 6 in. (152 mm).
•Handle cables with care; avoid twisting the cable while turning its connectors or routing the
cable during installation.
•Connect or disconnect a connector by holding the sides of the connector and pulling gently.
•Do not touch the fiber cable end-faces.
•Do not expose the cable to excessive heat.
•Do not allow connectors to strike or drag across work surfaces, including the floor.
•Do not allow cables to support any weight.
•Do not use cable ties to secure fiber optic cables.
•Do not crush or damage fibers by placing objects on top of a cable or a connector, or by rough
handling while mounting other nearby devices.
•Keep dust and contaminants away from fiber optic surfaces.
•Keep dust caps on connectors and input/output plugs on receptacles until just prior to
installation.
•Store unused dust caps and plugs in an anti-static, zipper-locked plastic bag for future use.
•Replace dust caps and plugs if they:
•fall on the floor
•are cracked or damaged in any way
•are dirty or exposed to dust in the environment
Figure 18 shows the main parts of a fiber optic cable.
Note — Do not pull on the boot off the connector.

WPON Product Overview
3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA Issue: 01
Figure 18 Parts of a fiber optic cable
10.2.2 Fiber optic jumper cable care
Use the following guidelines to care for fiber optic jumper cables.
•Store all unused fiber optic jumper cables in a cabinet.
•Hang all unused fiber jumper optic cables on a cable rack, or lay them flat in a cupboard.
•Ensure there is no tension on the fiber optic cable, or any sharp bending, twisting, or kinks
(micro-bends).
•The radius of the bend should meet the specifications of the manufacturer, or be at least 1.5
in. (38 mm).
•When the fiber-optic jumper cable is not in use, cover the end connectors with the dust caps.
10.2.3 Acceptance criteria for fiber optic device
inspections
Fiber optic connectors and receptacles must be visually inspected before every connection,
including the first-time installation of components still in their original packaging. After the fiber
optic devices pass inspection and the connection is made, it is not necessary to disassemble the
connection for inspection.

Issue: 01 3TG-00038-AAAA-TCZZA 81
The following guidelines apply to acceptance criteria.
•Loose contamination of any kind is not acceptable and must be cleaned from the end-face.
•For inspection purposes, pits are to be treated the same as non-removable contamination.
•When measuring oddly shaped contamination (non-round shapes), use the largest dimension.
•If contamination falls across more than one zone, use the acceptance criteria of the most
stringent zone.
•For multifiber cable, each end-face must meet the inspection criteria.
10.2.4 Acceptance criteria
Acceptance criteria for single-mode end-faces are provided in Table 23. The zones referred to in
Table 23 are illustrated in Figure 19.
The result of an inspection can be one of three conditions:
•preferred
•acceptable
•unacceptable

4.0 mm)
•Pure optical-grade isopropyl alcohol for cleaning connector end-faces
•A can of contaminant-free compressed air (dry nitrogen) for removing dust from connectors
(ferrule and end-face surfaces)
You may also require:
•dust caps for connectors
•anti-static, zipper-locked plastic bags
10.4 Parts list
None.
10.5 Recommended tools

10.6 Procedure
Use this procedure to inspect and, if necessary, clean the fiber optic cable connectors.
1Disconnect any power to the fiber optic device before inspection.
2Gently disconnect the fiber optic connector from the receptacle.
3Inspect the cable jacket for nicks, cuts, bends, kinks, or other signs of damage.
4Inspect the ferrule for signs of damage, for example scratches, cracks, or damaged guide
holes (badly worn or out-of-round).
5Using the inspection kit, inspect the receptacle.
Determine whether the receptacle is contaminated (does not pass acceptance criteria
documented in “Acceptance criteria”).
aIf yes, go to step 8.
bIf no, go to step 7.
Danger — Never look into the end of an optical cable while optical
power is being applied to the fiber. When cleaning or taking
measurements, avoid eye exposure to open-ended fibers and optical
connectors. The fibers and connectors may be connected to a laser
transmitter. Use a microscope and video monitor when inspecting the
end-face.
Note — Do not use the cable if there is damage.
Note — Do not use the device if there is damage.
Warning 1 — Clean fiber optic receptacles only when the receptacles
are connected for the first time, or if there is evidence of contamination.
Warning 2 — Always use the proper cleaning materials, otherwise the
fiber optic equipment may become contaminated.

6Using the inspection kit, inspect the connector.
Determine whether the connector is contaminated (does not pass acceptance criteria
documented in “Acceptance criteria”).
aIf yes, go to step 8.
bIf no, go to step 7.
7Reconnect the connector and receptacle.
iCheck that fiber optic connection is functioning properly.
ii Go to step 17.
8Clean the connector or receptacle by gently wiping the ferrule and end-face surfaces using
a cleaner cassette or a dry lint-free cloth.
9Inspect the connector or receptacle.
Determine whether the connector or receptacle is contaminated (does not pass acceptance
criteria documented in “Acceptance criteria”)
aIf yes, go to step 10.
bIf no, go to step 7.
Warning 1 — While cleaning a fiber optic connector, do not touch the
surface of the connector with your fingers.
Warning 2 — Always use the proper cleaning materials, otherwise the
fiber optic equipment may become contaminated.
Warning — Be careful to maintain a bend radius of no less than 1.5
inches (3.8 cm) when connecting the fiber optic cable. Too small of a
bend radius in the cable can result in damage to the optic fiber.
Note 1 — Do not use optical devices that do not function properly.
Note 2 — In a fiber distribution network, it is an industry best practice to
use APC-based connections or spliced connections to avoid any potential
network problems. Nokia recommends that the unused ports of splitters
be terminated into an APC-based connector.

10 If the connector or receptacle fails the inspection, clean the connector or receptacle by gently
wiping the ferrule and end-face surfaces using a cleaner cassette that has a drop of
optical-grade isopropyl alcohol applied to it. Alternately, use a lint-free cloth that has a drop
of optical-grade isopropyl alcohol applied to it.
11 Remove any alcohol residue by gently wiping the ferrule and end-face surfaces with a dry
section of cleaner cassette, or a lint-free cloth.
12 Inspect the connector or receptacle.
Determine whether the connector or receptacle is contaminated (does not pass acceptance
criteria documented in “Acceptance criteria”)
aIf yes, go to step 13.
bIf no, go to step 7.
13 If necessary, repeat step 8 through step 12 until the connector or receptacle passes the
inspection.
14 If the connector or receptacle continues to fail inspection after several attempts at cleaning,
use the canned, compressed air to remove any dust or debris.
15 Inspect the connector or receptacle.
Determine whether the connector or receptacle is contaminated (does not pass acceptance
criteria documented in “Acceptance criteria”)
aIf yes, go to step 16.
bIf no, go to step 7.
Note — You may need to open the cleaner cassette window by hand to
apply the alcohol to the cassette.
Note — Do not allow the extension tube of the can to touch the fiber.

16 If the connector or receptacle fails the inspection, repeat step 14 through step 15 again until
inspection is passed or fiber optic device is considered damaged and unusable.
17 STOP. This procedure is complete.
Note — Typically you should not use a fiber optic device that does not
pass inspection. However, only a live test informs you if a connector or
receptacle cannot be used.
