2 Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the uMAXe and its place in the product suite.
2.1 uMAXe
uMAXe is a highly integrated macro-cell base station with all-in-one packaging of RF and
baseband components. uMAXe includes integrated dual RF transceivers to support dual channel
diversity and MIMO. It is available as an all outdoor solution for Mobile WiMAX applications to
minimize physical footprint and operator OPEX.
uMAXe fully supports the interoperable R6 reference point for interworking with ASN Gateways.
uMAXe also has a “Stand Alone” mode for fixed/nomadic applications which do not require
seamless handover. When uMAXe is used in “Stand Alone” mode there is no need for an ASN
Gateway. uMAXe supports IP CS and Ethernet CS. It even supports a hybrid mode where both IP
CS and Ethernet CS (including VLAN support) are supported. uMAXe implements dual 40dBm
(10W) transmitters in 2.x GHz, dual 38 dBm (6.3W) in 1.4 GHz and dual 37dBm (5W) transmitters
in 3.x GHz band.
uMAXe is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. uMAXe is available in
numerous frequency bands and in numerous channels see: uMAXe Frequency Ranges.
uMAXe is managed by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using standard
and proprietary MIBs. Basic preliminary management can be performed using any standard Web
browser.
Note: For management refer to uMAXe Commissioning documentation.
