Chapter 1 - Product Description
1.1 Introducing the Extreme CPE range
Extreme CPE is a set of outdoor (ODU) units with an indoor component (IDU), that
are either 2.3 GHz, 2.5GHz, 3.5 GHz, or 5 GHz, high capacity gateways and
WiMAX Wireless Broadband Access subscriber stations, for a home or small office.
Which ODU set you use depends on the frequency band of your service provider’s
WiMAX service. Each system provides network connections that are always on,
supporting immediate access to the Internet and other IP services at high data
rates. The unit provides a gateway function between a WiMAX service provider
and a local Ethernet LAN. The device enables a service provider to deliver last mile
broadband wireless access as an alternative to wired DSL or cable modems.
Part of an extended and field-proven product portfolio, Extreme CPE is an integral
part of the Extreme family, the latest most technologically advanced wireless
solution for broadband deployment. With capacity of up to 20 Mbps download and
7 Mbps upload speed per unit, the Extreme CPE solution enables the delivery of
powerful wireless broadband services to the subscriber. Extreme CPE is an
out-of-the-box solution with immediate available local stock enabling virtually
instant network expansion and simplified deployment. Extreme CPE provides a
wireless solution for the subscriber to connect to the internet.
With a range of up to 5 Km and lower equipment and deployment costs, Extreme
CPE enables service providers to wirelessly extend their services to customers in
areas where the cost of cabling is prohibitive to deployment. Remote residential
areas can now benefit from high-speed wireless Internet access, Web browsing
and e-mail, and advanced applications such as multi-media services.
The Extreme CPE indoor unit (IDU) is a plug-and-play device that provides PoE
power to the ODU and a network interface through an RJ-45 Ethernet switch
port, as well as two RJ-11 Voice over IP (VoIP) phone ports for
telecommunications.
