2 Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the Air4G (formally MacroMAXe) (3.x, 2.x and 0707)
and its place in the product suite.
2.1 Air4G
Air4G is a highly integrated macro-cell base station with all-in-one packaging of RF and baseband
components. Air4G 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.
Air4G fully supports the interoperable R6 reference point for interworking with ASN Gateways. Air4G
also has a “Stand Alone” mode for fixed/nomadic applications which do not require seamless
handover. When Air4G is used in “Stand Alone” mode there is no need for an ASN Gateway. Air4G
supports IP CS and Ethernet CS. It even supports a hybrid mode where both IP CS and Ethernet CS
(including VLAN support) are supported. Air4G 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.
Air4G is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. Air4G is available in numerous
frequency bands and in numerous channels see: Air4G Frequency Ranges.
Air4G 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 Air4G Commissioning documentation.
