Cellular Service Access Package

Overview Cellular Service Access Package (CSAP) is a key component for cell site systems of the major cellular infrastructure equipment manufacturers. The CSAP provides an SNMP-managed interface between base station equipment and the T1 leased line telecommunications network. In a typical cellular network, switching centers communicate with cell sites and other switching centers through terrestrial T1 leased line circuits or, when required, microwave links. Cellular phones dial into a cell site and calls are passed along to land-based phone lines through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or to other cellular phones via the closest cell site.
