FullMAX provides secure connections with strong encryption (AES‐128 or AES-256), strong authentication
(EAP after RSA with X.509 certificates) and advanced key management protocol (PKMv2).
FullMAX supports various frequency reuse methods including:
Traditional full channel based frequency reuse
OFDMA based Band-AMC sub‐channel reuse with up to 12 sub-channels in both uplink
and downlink. Any combination of sub-channels can be used in each sector in both
downlink and uplink.
FullMAX Remote Stations support a pre‐configured channel acquisition plan, i.e., a preconfigured list of
channel alternatives, characterized by center frequency, bandwidth, sub-channels and other parameters.
During channel acquisition, the Remote Station goes through the list and evaluates the best alternative.
FullMAX has an advanced remote management system that enables the system operator to monitor,
configure, manage, detect failures and diagnose problems. The FullMAX system configuration and
FullMAX system provisioning support centralized management profiles.
The FullMAX system architecture consists of Base Stations, Fixed Remote Stations and Mobile Stations.
Backhaul networking equipment connects the Base Stations to the customer’s Network Operations Center
(NOC) and the FullMAX Network Management System (NMS).
FullMAX Base Stations are typically installed in the existing Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) towers
serving their respective cells.
The FullMAX Base Station is designed as a single sector device. Any number of sectors can be designed
per tower, however the most common configuration is a three sector design with one Base Station unit
per sector.
The sector configuration dictates the type of antenna that should be used. Typically a router is used at the
tower to connect all Base Stations to the NOC via backhaul facilities. FullMAX Fixed Remote and Mobile
Stations are deployed throughout the tower’s serving area.
