Airspan’s WiMAX products benefit from a unique combination of features delivering the best economics and most attractive service propositions for mobile and fixed/nomadic/portable broadband:

512 /1024/2048 FFT SOFDMA and 256 FFT OFDM radios for true Non- Line-of-Sight (NLOS) nomadic and portable operation
Burst-by-burst adaptive modulation and error correction
Class leading spectral efficiency
High Performance radios that deliver extended link budgets
Low latency radio interface for time critical services
Licensed and Unlicensed band operation (1.5GHz, 2.3GHz, 3.3- 3.8GHz, 4.9GHz, 5.1-5.4GHz, 5.4- 5.7GHz, 5.8GHz, 5.9GHz followed by 500-700MHz)
Point to Multipoint Access and Point-to-Point backhaul.

Airspan’s WiMAX technology has been carefully chosen to deliver IEEE 802.16e-2005 Mobile WiMAX. It also provides operators with a cost effective and future-proof evolution path from Fixed to Mobile WiMAX profiles.

Airspan offers the ideal WiMAX platform on which to deploy an industry standard broadband solution. It provides all the benefits of multivendor interoperability, decreasing CPE costs, WiMAX enabled handheld device portability with roaming and indoor, self install CPE economics, thus heralding a new era of inexpensive, ubiquitous broadband wireless access anytime, everywhere.

Airspan's WiMAX Strategy

Airspan’s WiMAX strategy is to offer a comprehensive end-to-end solution for Mobile and Fixed WiMAX deployments through standards compliant, interoperable, WiMAX Forum™ certified products; empower the enduser through personal broadband; provide real-world solutions to coexistence with other wireless systems; enable seamless upgradeability to Mobile WiMAX through the use of Software Defined Radio (SDR) and to offer unrivalled spectral efficiency through the use of advanced antenna techniques such as MIMO and Smart Antenna Systems.
