BreezeMAX: Taking WiMAX to the MAX

BreezeMAX is a future-proof solution that offers operatorsreliability, flexibility and compelling economics, while migratingtheir networks to a standard WiMAX 802.16e architecture.Powered by Intel’s

WiMAX chipset, BreezeMAX meets therequirements of a myriad of service environments, from sparselypopulated rural areas to high-density urban areas with fast accessat net data rates of up to 25 Mbps over a 10 MHz channel.BreezeMAX delivers broadband access services to a wide rangeof customers, including residential, multi-tenant, SOHO, SME,and large enterprise customers.BreezeMAX represents the sum total of Alvarion’s advancedtechnology capabilities and long-term field experience.BreezeMAX features high power orthogonal frequency divisionmultiple access (OFDMA) technology that supports non-line-of-sight (NLOS) operation, adaptive modulation up to QAM64 andthe highest spectral efficiency available. Moreover, it includesadvanced self-install capabilities that improve CPE economicsthereby enabling operators to overcome typical link budgetmanagement challenges and customer premises installation costsand positions it as an ideal mass market solution for nomadicplug and play applications

BreezeMAX System Components

The BreezeMAX product family includes:BreezeMAX 2300 for the 2.3 GHz bandBreezeMAX 2500 for the 2.5 GHz bandBreezeMAX 3500 for the 3.5 GHz band

Base Station Equipment

BreezeMAX base station equipment is a high density, modularchassis configuration scalable for deployments of various sizes.

Modular Base Station

The modular base station is a carrier class 8U high cPCI shelfthat fits into standard 19" or 22" (ETSI) racks. The chassis containsa network processor unit, multipleaccess unit modules (up to 6 in a singlechassis), power supply and powerfeeding modules. All the modules arehot swappable, and high availabilitycan be provided through multipleredundancy schemes.

Network Processing Unit (NPU)

The NPU is the heart of the base station and servesas the central processing unit, managing the basestation components and all subscriber units itconnects. Its main functions include:Traffic aggregation of all access units to/fromthe backbone via 100/1000 BaseT network interfaceTraffic classification and connectionestablishment initiationService level agreements (SLA) managementBase station overall management, operation control andalarms managementThe BreezeMAX base station can host two NPU modules forredundancy support (1+1 redundancy scheme). The GPS unitsynchronizes all the base stations that operate in TDD mode.

Indoor/Outdoor Access Units

The BreezeMAX access unit is comprised of anindoor unit (IDU) and an outdoor unit (ODU). Theaccess unit IDU module contains the wireless IEEE802.16e/HiperMAN MAC and modem and isresponsible for the wireless network connectionestablishment and for the bandwidth management.Each access unit IDU includes four 3.5, 5 or 7 MHz PHY channelsfor support of RF 2

and 4

order diversitycombining functionality and radio link redundancy.The access unit ODU is a high power, multi-carrierradio unit that connects to an external adaptiveantenna that enables superior signal penetrationthrough walls and buildings especially designedfor NLOS deployments.The base station operates in full TDD duplex, dramaticallyincreasing system efficiency. It is designed to provide high systemgain and interference robustness, utilizing high transmit powerand low noise figure.
