SUPERIOR WIRELESS.
DEPENDABLE SOLUTIONS. DIVERSE SERVICES.
Ever-expanding markets require fast-paced, reliable and cost-
effective 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.

Subscriber equipment Mobile Internet access

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.
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
