WiMAX Applications
WiMAX has already revolutionized the
broadband wireless market by
standardizing the fragmented
Broadband Wireless Access (BWA)
market, by opening up new service
opportunities and by creating the
environment for ubiquitous broadband
services everywhere.

Fixed Broadband
WiMAX appeals to a wide cross
section of service providers, new
entrants, mobile service providers
and traditional wireline operators
alike. WiMAX is appealing to new
entrants and mobile service
providers that want to also provide
high-speed broadband services to
the home and the office. WiMAX is
also being embraced by the wireline
operators as a cost-effective way to
expand their broadband service
offerings to underserved areas.
Using WiMAX, wireline operators can
cover rural and less dense
environments where the cost of
expanding DSL and cable wiring is
prohibitive, as well as dense urban
areas where it may be difficult to
add wired connections to existing
large buildings such as apartment
blocks and office buildings.
Airspan offers a range of base
stations that provide the optimum
CAPEX and OPEX solutions in both
dense urban and less dense suburban and rural deployment
scenarios. Furthermore, Airspan has
been the first WiMAX vendor to offer
a complete range of indoor and
outdoor integrated WiMAX and WiFi end user devices. These products
benefit both the service provider and
the consumer. The service providers
can rapidly deploy indoor and
outdoor Wi-Fi hotspots with built-in
Campus Applications
Many government, enterprise and
educational organizations have
deployed Wi-Fi technology in
buildings for their respective users.
WiMAX allows a service provider to
offer broadband connectivity
beyond individual buildings to
provide complete coverage of an
entire campus for data, VoIP and
multimedia applications.
Furthermore, thanks to the advanced
QoS and security features offered by
WiMAX, it becomes possible to
create a secure and reliable
communications environment.
The integration of WiMAX and Wi-Fi
in a single end user device enables
users to connect to either in-building
Wi-Fi or campus-wide WiMAX
networks, allowing them to
Backhaul applications
WiMAX products lend themselves to
backhaul and bridging applications.
We have already discussed how
WiMAX can provide a cost effective
and highly integrated backhaul
environment for Wi-Fi hotspots. In
some deployment situations it would
be attractive to use WiMAX
compliant links, operating in an
unlicensed band such as 5.8GHz, to
backhaul the base station traffic
towards the core network. A third
application could be LAN-LAN
bridging solutions for campus
networks or indeed for providing IP
connectivity.
Airspans MicroMAXd product is
particularly suitable for backhaul
applications providing high
availability with native IP interfaces,
in both licensed and unlicensed
bands.

HiperMAX Operation
The flexibility of the HiperMAX
architecture allows many deployment
configurations including those suited to
both macro and micro cellular
installations. It supports all outdoor as
well as split indoor / outdoor
configurations allowing the operator to
select the deployment model best
suited to operational expense
considerations and site access
constraints.
A HiperMAX Base station configured for
traditional multi-sector macro-cell
deployments consists of a baseband
section, suitable for location within a
protected environment, and an outdoor
RF section. The indoor boards, referred
to as blades within the ATCA standard,
are housed in a 5 or 14 slot NEBS
compliant ATCA chassis. The outdoor
enclosure contains the RF subsystem
components, which enables smart
antenna functionality running on a
Software Defined Radio (SDR). The
connection between the baseband and
RF sections is made through a fiber
optic cable.
