2 Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the Air4Gp and its place in the product suite.
2.1 Air4Gp
Air4Gp is a dual protocol compact Base Station: WiMAX (IEEE802.16e) Base Station and
simultaneously an LTE eNodeB. The Air4Gp is a Pico base station operating on unlicensed
frequency bands and can support up to 4 carriers that can be deployed to cover a single sector or
two distinct sectors. It can run either WiMAX or LTE or both WiMAX and LTE. It includes
integrated quad transmitters to support four channel diversity and MIMO with an optional
integrated dual slant antenna. It is a highly integrated compact base station with all-in-one
packaging of RF and base-band components. It is available mounted outside on a pole or wall.
Air4Gp is available in frequencies between 150 MHz and 6 GHz and in numerous channels .
Air4Gp currently operates in the 5.x frequency band and was designed to overcome harsh
interference conditions due to its 4x4 MIMO capability. The Tx power of the Air4Gp is limited to
22dBm, or 27dBm (depending on the variant), to meet unlicensed band regulations. Air4Gp can
run WiMAX, LTE or WiMAX and LTE simultaneously.
Air4Gp 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: The channel bandwidth describes the maximum bandwidth. Partial
bands can also be utilized.
Note: For management refer to Air4Gp Commissioning documentation.
2.1.1 Architecture
A highly flexible and scalable WiMAX Base Station, the Air4Gp is capable of supporting WiMAX
profiles across multiple frequency bands.
Note: The following is for illustration only; actual layout may differ as
infrastructure is installation-specific.
Note: Air4Gp must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local
safety code requirements.
Note: Installation of the GPS Lightning/Surge protector is necessary to
protect the GPS antenna.
Example of three (3) sectors is illustrated below:
