Alvarion BreezeMAX 3650 802.16e Outdoor & Outdoor WiFi WiMAX Solution
BreezeMAX 3650 is a 802.16e-based WiMAX solution for the US FCC 3.65-3.70 GHz frequency band allocated for wireless broadband, which includes macro and micro base stations.
Incorporating Alvarions field-proven and mature WiMAX technology, which is one of the markets most popular 802.16e-based, WiMAX solutions, BreezeMAX 3650 provides superior coverage and capacity that results in fewer cell sites for reduced CAPEX and OPEX and an improved business case. Furthermore, as an 802.16e-based solution, BreezeMAX 3650 offers a future-proof network with optimized value of investment.
- Variety of CPEs, for both outdoor and indoor use
- Self-install CPE with patent-pending technology for stable connections
- Future accessibility of WiMAX 802.16e standard equipment
- Fixed and portable services to residential and business customers located in rural, suburban and urban areas
Advanced, Self-Install Solution
Using high-power Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access (OFDMA) technology and six industry-leading, fast-switching antennas, the BreezeMAX Si* CPE supports non-line-of-sight (NLOS) operation and the most stable indoor links for the highest subscriber satisfaction. Improving the operator business case by minimizing truck rolls and installation costs, BreezeMAX Si also offers longer ranges and superior capacities, giving operators a higher ROI. Typical customers include small operators using the upgradeable BTS configuration for deployments in small communities, and large scale IOCs (Independent Operating Companies) using BreezeMAX Si as a way to compete with basic, primary data and voice services in fixed applications.
System Components
BreezeMAX 3650
