Alvarion BreezeMax BreezeACCESS Wi2
Combined WiMAX™ and Wi-Fi end-to-end broadband solutions.
Wi2 offers the ultimate IP wireless broadband solution for a variety of applications and services – anytime, anywhere.
Wi2 provides the best of both worlds:
- Easy-to-deploy outdoor Wi-Fi mesh access solution integrated with built-in management and OSS support.
- Readiness for immediate connection with the robust QoS capabilities of a BreezeMAX/BreezeACCESS backhauling network providing Personal Broadband services.
- Services delivered with Wi2 range from basic public Internet access to public safety, traffic management, video surveillance, indoor coverage and other advanced voice, video and mobile applications.
Deploy mesh networks easily and cost effectively
Answering the need for outdoor Wi-Fi connectivity, Wi2 offers localized mesh networks with a Wi-Fi AP-rich feature set. Furthermore, it enables immediate connection with WiMAX star backhauling networks. This results in a high performance, low complexity, easy-todeploy network, which can be easily tailored to specific operational and budget demands. Consequently, Wi2 enables operators to work according to their specific needs and enjoy mesh benefits such as self-healing and lower network costs while still maintaining a robust, simple and high QoS network.
Integrate a complete, robust end-to-end solution
Wi2 offers a wide range of important features. These include extensive network management with detailed statistics and diagnostics capabilities for easy evaluation of network performance and behavior; embedded OSS abilities with RADIUS servers, captive portals and accounting information; self-healing; powerful QoS for voice and video support; and extensive security features.
Increase revenue with multiple application network support
Deliver a variety of independent services through the simultaneous operation of up to 16 different virtual networks (16 SSIDs) on the same infrastructure. Each network retains unique QoS, security, authentication, guest access services, management attributes and billing rates, allowing for revenue generation according to customer service level agreements (SLAs).
Key Wi2 applications

Applications
Improve ROI by extending the service offering to Wi-Fi end users
Capture revenues from both Wi-Fi and WiMAX clients – existing wireless IP broadband operators can generate additional revenues from Wi-Fi end users using standard laptops, PDAs and Wi-Fi phones, while leveraging existing WiMAX networks.
Support advanced mobile applications
The roaming and rapid handover support offered by Wi2 enables the deployment of advanced mobile applications such as voice networks and transportation, as well as readiness for migration to a complete Mobile WiMAX network.
Reduce costs through easy plug and play installation anywhere, anytime
The Wi2 solution can be installed in any rugged outdoor conditions – including roofs, walls and light poles, thereby reducing lite installation, acquisition and rental costs. Furthermore, plug and play installation enables operators to literally just connect the units to the power, with authentication, software updates and configuration performed automatically by the Wi2 controller.
Support and manage networks with thousands of APs
Wi2 is a completely scalable solution which can easily support and manage deployments from tens to thousands of APs. This scalable network architecture enables operators to pay as they grow and minimize risks, without any additional or incremental costs.
