Background: Airspan and WiMAXBackground: Airspan and WiMAX

Airspan is publicly committed to the IEEE 802.16-2004standard, and ongoing evolution to the IEEE 802.16emobile extension (to be published as IEEE802.16e-2005).

Airspan have a full WiMAX Product Portfolio; Called AS.MAX Micro and Macro Base Stations Indoor and Outdoor CPE, plus plans for USB, Laptop Cards and

Handsets

Airspan a Charter Member of the WiMAX Forum. Permanent WiMAX Forum Board Member Airspan are one of three Strategic developers working with Intel.

We use Intels 802.16-2004 Subscriber Station Chip in our low costIndoor CPE.

Airspan has an extensive R&D Team engaged in 802.16Product Development

Tel-Aviv, Israel (CPE and Micro Base Station) and London, UK(Macro Base Station)

R&D Programmes started in Q1 2003.

WiWi--Fi Backhaul over ProSTFi Backhaul over ProST --WiFiWiFiKey Advantages:Against DSL Lower OPEX costs than using SDSL Technology for Backhaul

SDSL drives expensive monthly Opex charges (regardless of usage)

Better Deployment Characteristics than SDSL Longer Reach, not limited by SDSL uplink restrictions SDSL typically is restricted to less than 2km

Can be installed at any location, Street-Light, Power Pole, etc Lots of places where there is no copper or Fibre

Better QoS than DSL

802.16 QoS is used to map different traffic into individual QoS, CIR and MIR pipes Allows a single Access Point to support N Retail Operators using Virtual SSIDs

Against Wi-Fi Mesh Delivers Real QoS

802.16 QoS is used to map different traffic is into separate 802.16 QoS Pipes

Much lower Cost per Node than Wi-Fi Mesh Combined WiMAX Backhaul and Wi-Fi AP is typically 50% less than similar Wi-Fi Mesh Nodes (>10 nodes) Wi-FI Mesh requires LOS or Near-LOS between Nodes

Links between nodes are typically less than 100m in Built-up Areas

Uses Less Spectrum that Wi-Fi Mesh Wi-Fi Mesh is a spectrum Hog! Typically using all of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz simultaneously

Self-installation by the end-user requires full support for NomadicOperation.

There are two sides to this

The Network Infrastructure (BS and NMS)

The Indoor Self-Install CPE

Network Infrastructure

Auto-Discovery: NMS automatically enters CPEs in database Auto-Provisioning: Service Products are applied to CPEs Automatically

Indoor Self-Install CPEs Auto-Connect: Scan all available channels and pick the best one

Auto-Configuration: CPE is provisioned / set-up by Base Station

A Flexible Network ArchitectureA Flexible Network Architecture

Airspans experience has shown that one Base Stationtype does not fit all applications / deployment scenarios.

A choice of Base Stations are required for a singlenetwork deployment in order to optimise:

Network coverage

RF Spectrum Usage

Network Infrastructure cost

AS.MAX Includes a choice of two Base Station Families: HiperMAX & MacroMAX Macro Indoor / portable CPE Coverage

MicroMAX Indoor CPE Coverage Infill / Hotspots. Macro OutdoorCPE Coverage.

Base Station OverviewBase Station Overview

A typical Access Network will be made up of a number of differentBase Station types including:

Micro-cells, providing coverage and capacity in-fill

Macro-cells, providing RF coverage footprint

Airspans AS.MAX Base Station range maps directly to thesedeployment models:

MicroMAX-SOC & MicroMAX-SDR provide micro-cell coverage to indoor CPE(EasyST), and macro-cell coverage for outdoor CPE (ProST) in rural deployments.

MacroMAX & HiperMAX-1&2 provides macro-cell coverage to indoor CPE(EasyST) with a choice of configurations depending on deployment type (rural,sub-urban & urban). Also provides macro-cell coverage to outdoor CPE (ProST).

HiperMAX-4&8 provides macro-cell coverage to portable devices, indoor CPE(EasyST) and outdoor CPE (ProST).

Network Support for Indoor Self Install CPENetwork Support for Indoor Self Install CPE

There are a number of challenges around providing indoor, selfinstall coverage at 3.5GHz:

Building Penetration Loss and Shadowing Drives the need for an additional >20dB link budget when compared to traditional

FWA with roof mounted CPE. Cell sizes inevitably shrink, but are maximised through use of smart antenna

techniques ie. Diversity & AAS with MacroMAX and HiperMAX Need for zero skill installation

User should not be expected to point the CPE antenna at the basestation This

drives the need for omni-directional CPE antenna and results in lower gain CPEantennas. EasyST includes a 4x90deg switched antenna array providing omni coverage but

maximising antenna gain. Acceptable CPE Form Factor

CPE must be small results in low antenna gains and low power consumption Uplink Subchannelisation is key to providing adequate link budget in the uplink with

low power (=small size & low cost) Tx amplifiers. 802.16-2004 allows 1/16subchannelisation which adds 12dB to the link budget

Airspan 16eAirspan 16e Mobile WiMAX Product StrategyMobile WiMAX Product Strategy

Airspan AS.MAX WiMAX Product Line is designed to support Fixed,Nomadic and Portable Application Scenarios

We can and will deliver complete standalone systems

Airspan AS.MAX Base Stations can also become part of a Mobile WiMAX

Network By supporting R6 Base Station Handover interfaces

Base Station can be connected to third-party WiMAX Core Infrastructures for Mobility

Airspans goal is to seamlessly introduce 16e Mobile WiMAX and the new

SOFDMA PHY across the product line By Software Upgrade on the High-End Base Station Platform (MicroMAX-SDR and HiperMAX) By early introduction of 16d / 16e capable CPEs (i.e. 16e SOFDMA Ready)

Software support in CPE comes after Silicon introduction

We will simultaneously support Fixed WiMAX (256 OFDM (16d)) and MobileWiMAX (SOFMDA (16e)) Radio interfaces on High-End Base Stations

256 OFDM will be enhanced by 16e for ongoing Fixed / Nomadic Applications SOFMDA will be introduced for Low Power / Portable Form Factors
