Alvarion is answering carrier’s needs for a complete, end-to-end WiMAX solution for personal broadband services by leveraging its advanced base station,  BreezeMAX, while incorporating IP mobility core components and a wide range of end user devices to create its 4Motion™ solution.

With the most recent version using 802.16e, BreezeMAX addresses carrier’s current challenge in deploying fixed, nomadic, and ultimately portable and mobile services to both residential and business users ocated in rural, suburban, and urban areas.

Operating in 2.3, 2.5, and 3.5 GHz and related licensed frequency bands, BreezeMAX addresses all the parameters in the operators industry wish list for carrier-grade, cost-effective, next generation broadband wireless access (BWA) systems. The TDD-based platform is ideal for operators deploying high-bandwidth, IP-based voice, data and multimedia services and who are planning to move to provide personal broadband services in the future.

Alvarion BreezeMAX 2300-2500-3500 - Product Brochure

The BreezeMAX base station is a highly modular and scalable base station, available in micro and macro sizes to ensure maximum cost efficiency. Here are the main attributes :

• WiMAX-ready design for future support of WiMAX certified 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 wimax base stations.
