Chapter 1 - Products Description
1.1 BreezeMAX CPEs
The WiMAX-compatible PRO-S CPE and Si CPE Subscriber Units (SUs) are
powered by Intel's WiMAX Connection 2250 chip. BreezeMAX CPEs serve as an
efficient platform for a wide range of services, providing bridge functionality and
supporting up to 512 MAC addresses.
BreezeMAX CPEs are currently available in the 2.3 GHz (WCS), 2.5 GHz (MMDS
and MCS), 3.3 GHz, 3.5 GHzand 3.6 GHz frequency bands.
BreezeMAX CPEs support dual operation modes, enabling detection of the
protocol used in the wireless link (APD) and automatic switching between FDD
and TDD operation modes provided they hold the appropriate SW versions
(applicable only to CPEs in the 3.3 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 3.6 GHz bands where both
operation modes are supported. Not applicable for the new 3.x GHz Si CPE). In
addition, the Intel's WiMAX Connection 2250 chip is ready for future support of
IEEE 802.16e (mobile WiMAX) through simple over the air software upgrade. The
APD will support automatic switching to the appropriate air protocol, allowing
simple upgrade to mobile WiMAX.
Configuration and performance monitoring of the unit can be performed using
any of the following options:
 Remotely by the serving device, where the serving device is managed using
either the Monitor program or SNMP.
