BreezeMAX®

Base Station Equipment

The BreezeMAX base station is a highly modular and scalable base station, available in both micro and macro sizes to ensure maximum cost efficiency. Both base station types share the following key attributes:

• WiMAX-ready design for future support of WiMAXcertified mode
• OFDM, OFDMA, smart antenna technology that enables indoor self install capabilities
• Flexible and modular design with unmatched sharing capacity of one line card on four radio sectors spiraling up to the capacity of four line cards on one radio sector enabling capacity from 4.5Mb up to 72Mb per sector
• Over 30km coverage
• SNMP central management using AlvariSTAR™

		BreezeMAX Macro Base Station The macro base station is an 8U high cPCI shelf that fits in standard 19” or ETSI racks. The base station contains a network and radio modules, power supply and power feeding modules. All the modules are hot swappable and high availability can be provided through multiple redundancy schemes. Support for smart antenna techniques, including space time coding (STC), polarization diversity and maximum ratio combining (MRC) together with high power radios enable the operation of indoor self-install CPEs in dense urban and suburban environments.
		BreezeMAX Micro Base Station The micro base station is ideal for operators needing a cost effective, scalable WiMAX-ready base station solution for maximum return from their network deployment, especially targeted for low-density or rural areas.It is comprised of a stand-alone module (1U high 19”) that connects to the same outdoor radio unit as the macro base station radio.With this common connection, operators have the ability to mix and match base station types according to deployment needs while enjoying the same feature set, provisioning and management functionality in both base stations.
