HiperMAX-Micro has been designed for micro-cellular deployment in dense urban environment, or as a micro-cell infill solution as part of a macro-cell deployment.

 

HiperMAX-micro is a variant of the HiperMAX platform and the same technology including SDR and OBSAI underpin both products. It has been optimised for deployment on low cost sites such as power poles, street lighting, rooftops or the sides of buildings.

 

Like its bigger sibling, HiperMAX-micro is fully compatible with the Mobile WiMAX Network Reference Model (NRM), forming part of the Access Service Network (ASN). It supports the ASN interfaces between the base station and the ASN Gateway as well as between base stations. HiperMAXmicro interworks with Airspan's ASN Gateway, ControlMAX and with other third party ASN gateways.

 

High capacity and small footprint makes this product ideally suited for mobile WiMAX deployments in crowded cities where demand for services is high but space is at a premium.

 

HiperMAX-micro is available in the 3.5GHz band. It is also available in the 4.9GHz band and has been deployed in large quantities in Japan.

 

The HiperMAX-micro base station is based on an all -outdoor, split design architecture consisting of an outdoor baseband enclosure, outdoor transceivers and antennas. A typical HiperMAX-micro deployment with antenna diversity will consist of the baseband unit connected to two transceiver units using the same fiver optic interface used in HiperMAX, and two antennas, one per transceiver.

 

HiperMAX-micro fully supports the extensive QoS features of the IEEE 802.16 standard, including full support for UGS, rtPS, nrtPS and BE service classes. In addition, it incorporates specific additional radio resource management features that allow applications like VoIP to be robustly delivered by implementing Admission Control on a per call basis.

 

HiperMAX-micro is managed by Netspan, Airspan's SNMP based management platform.
