SYSTEM OVERVIEW
MicroMAX-SOC is a highly upgradeable Micro-cell base station, based on the Sequans System On a
Chip, with a pole/roof (wall) mounted radio system and antennae. This high performance chip can
support up to 28 + 28 MHz channels (full duplex) forms part of the AS.MAX portfolio of WiMAX
network infrastructure equipment. It is compatible with the Airspan EasyST and ProST subscriber
terminals and other manufacturer's CPEs that are fully WiMAX compliant.
The MicroMAX-SOC BSR is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. The BSR
provides a wireless link with subscribers and interfaces with the provider's backbone. The
MicroMAX-SOC BSR is available in two models. These models differ by antenna design (providing
integral flat-panel antennas, or an N-type port for attaching third-party external antennas).
MicroMAX-SOC BSR is available in numerous ETSI frequency bands, operating in FDD and TDD
modes in numerous channels, see: MicroMAX-SOC Frequency Ranges.
The BSR connects to the indoor Ethernet hub/switch by a CAT 5e cable, which carries the Ethernet
signal, and DC power. For a MicroMAX-SOC Base Station consisting of multiple BSRs, the BSRs
connect to individual Subscriber Data Adapters (SDA-4S). For a Base Station consisting of a single
BSR, the BSR typically connects to a single Subscriber Data Adapter (SDA-4S).
MicroMAX-SOC BSR provides a low cost, high-performance point-to multipoint packet-based
Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) solution. MicroMAX-SOC BSR Provides wireless connectivity
designed to deliver high-speed data, voice over IP (VoIP) and multimedia services to residential,
SOHO (Small Office/Home Office), and SME (Small to Medium Enterprises).
The MicroMAX-SOC is an encased outdoor radio providing access to the MicroMAX-SOC's
communication ports on its bottom panel. The MicroMAX-SOC's back panel provides holes for
mounting.
MicroMAX-SOC BSR interfaces with the subscriber's LAN through the SDA-4S Type II (referred
henceforth as SDA-4S) integrated LAN switches.
SDA-4S Type II: integrated LAN switch, providing power and four 10/100BaseT ports for
interfacing with the subscriber’s network
MicroMAX-SOC can be managed by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using
standard and proprietary MIBs. In addition, external third-party management systems such as HP
OpenView can also manage the MicroMAX-SOC using these MIBs. Basic management can be
performed using any standard Web browser.
