Alvarion BreezeACCESS 4900 Wireless Broadband System

Product Highlights

In designing the BreezeACCESS 4900, we leveraged our more than ten years of experience deploying wireless broadband systems with our long history developing and implementing OFDM technology to overcome NLOS challenges. The results are the utmost in reliable, secure communications in the 4.9 GHz band. Capable of being deployed in both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations, and able to co-exist with other systems in mixed spectrum architectures, the ultra-flexibility of the 4900 enables each network to be tailored in its configuration to efficiently handle a multitude of applications.

BreezeACCESS 4900 is now the solution of choice for public safety, medical emergency, and government security and surveillance applications offering the industrys richest features:

• Spectrally efficient, OFDM technology to support high capacity, non-line-of-sight connectivity
• Always-on adaptive modulation, automatic transmit power control (ATPC), and automatic distance learning for optimal link transmission

Complies with the high power mask requirements of 4.9 GHz FCC regulation. Meeting the high power mask regulations translates into more than 20 times the range than products that meet the low power mask regulations. In this band, regulations are on unit output power and the antenna gain that can be used with the product NMS

Data Network

• Highest number of calls in a PTMP system designed for the public safety, up to 150 calls per sector with MOS higher than 4.0
• Wireless link prioritization enabling mission critical applications, such as video and voice with end-to-end quality-of-service, even while sharing the system with low priority applications such as data
• Supports both 5 and 10 MHz channel options for flexible network planning for interference avoidance and increased network capacity
• Mixed spectrum integration options for multi-band layering, including Wi-Fi integration enabling commercially off-the-shelf devices at the network edge

Complete Spectrum Solution

Wireless Broadband that Breaks Barriers

BreezeACCESS 4900 offers an unmatched combination of wide coverage, high capacity and value-added features to provide citywide and countywide secure, wireless connectivity that works in NLOS conditions. Leveraging the 4.9 GHz licensed spectrum allocated for public safety, the BreezeACCESS 4900 is the ideal solution for regional backhaul of mobile public safety infrastructure, connecting buildings, traffic lights and video security/traffic cameras, supporting SCADA applications and providing a regional VoIP network.

Complete Spectrum Solution

Alvarions Complete Spectrum Solution enables the BreezeAC-CESS 4900 to integrate seamlessly into existing BreezeACCESS networks, thereby protecting existing network investments. Supporting both fixed and mobile platforms at multiple frequencies, the Complete Spectrum enables the deployment of highly customized networks with subscriber speeds up to 54 Mbps. Using the full range of products, the Complete Spectrum Solution can support simultaneous deployments of systems at 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 3.5 GHz, 4.9 GHz and the entire 5 GHz band.

Alvarions mobile broadband platform, the BreezeACCESS 900, is currently on patrol nationwide providing real-time, high-speed connectivity to law enforcement vehicles and other agencies. Combining the BreezeACCESS 900 with the BreezeACCESS 4900 means that municipalities and public safety organizations can have an integrated network solution to meet both their fixed and mobile broadband communications needs.

System Components

The BreezeACCESS 4900 consists of a base station access unit (AU) and two models of customer premises equipment (CPE) to support various deployment scenarios.

The Access Unit (AU)

Installed at the base station site, the AU communicates with the CPEs. For backbone connections, each AU connects to the network through a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ-45) interface and towards the CPE using standard CAT-5 cable to connect to the outdoor unit.

For a modular base station, the access unit can be installed in the universal BreezeACCESS 19” 3U chassis. Each chassis can hold up to six AU modules of any frequency band, providing reliable access to a maximum number of subscribers. Two power supply modules, either AC or DC, can be employed in the chassis for power supply redundancy.

The Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs)

Installed at locations that requires service, either backhaul or access connectivity, the CPE enables data connections to support single or multiple end user subscribers. CPEs provide an efficient platform for always-on, high-speed internet and intranet services. Each CPE connects to the network through a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ-45) interface and connects to the outdoor unit via CAT-5 cable. Each CPE includes a small indoor unit, CAT-5 indoor-outdoor cable, pole-mounted outdoor unit and integrated antenna. Two CPE models are available:

• The SU-A-4900-BD (with integrated antenna)
• The SU-E-4900-BD (without antenna)
