2 Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the MacroMAXe (3x05, 2x10-4 and 0707) and its
place in the product suite.
2.1 MacroMAXe
MacroMAXe is a highly integrated macro-cell base station with all-in-one packaging of RF and
baseband components. MacroMAXe includes integrated quad RF transceivers to support four
channel diversity and MIMO. It is available as an all outdoor solution for Mobile WiMAX applications to
minimize physical footprint and operator OPEX.
MacroMAXe fully supports the interoperable R6 reference point for interworking with ASN Gateways.
MacroMAXe also has a “Stand Alone” mode for fixed/nomadic applications which do not require
seamless handover. When MacroMAXe is used in “Stand Alone” mode there is no need for an ASN
Gateway. MacroMAXe supports IP CS and Ethernet CS. It even supports a hybrid mode where both
IP CS and Ethernet CS (including VLAN support) are supported. MacroMAXe implements dual
40dBm (10W) transmitters in 2.x GHz, dual 38 dBm (6.3W) in 700MHz and dual 37dBm (5W)
transmitters in 3.x GHz band.
MacroMAXe is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. MacroMAXe is available in
numerous frequency bands and in numerous channels see: MacroMAXe Frequency Ranges.
MacroMAXe is managed by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using standard
and proprietary MIBs. Basic management can be performed using any standard Web browser.
Note: For management refer to MacroMAXe Commissioning documentation.
