The interWAVE TurboMAX is a high-power, low-cost, compact BTS used to provide WLL (Wireless
Local Loop), microcell expansion, and specialty GSM deployment. It complies with all relevant GSM
specifications related to Abis and Air (Um) Interfaces, so it can be used with any other GSM-compliant
BSCs and mobile stations. The TurboMAX is 25” (63.50 cm) tall, 11” (27.94 cm) wide, and 19” (48.26 cm)
deep.
The TurboMAX consists of a chassis, one IWP card, one E1 or T1 Trunk card, two or three TRXs, an
EEPROM RFD card, one Main Power Supply module, one Amplifier Power Supply module, one Clock
module, two Fan modules, a high-power Amplifier module, and a CMA (Cable Management Assembly),
which contains combiners, diplexers, and/or filters, and which routes external cabling into the TurboMAX
chassis. Figure 1 shows the front view of a fully-loaded TurboMAX.
