WiMAX Overview - The Recognised Leader in WiMAX

 

Airspan is a worldwide leader in broadband wireless with over 400 customers in more than 100 countries.

 

As a founding member of the WiMAX ForumT, Airspan has led the way in WiMAX, being among the first wave of companies to achieve certification for its base station and customer premises equipment.

 

Airspan is also leading the race to mobile WiMAX. Through a careful choice of advance technologies, the flagship base station HiperMAX is software upgradeable to mobile WiMAX.

 

The IEEE 802.16e-2005 compliant, quad-band USB device, announced in 2006, will be the first Wave2 compatible mobile WiMAX device for laptops.

 

Airspan has always taken the lead to bring real-world solutions to WiMAX networks. Two examples of particular note are the seamless integration of WiMAX and Wi-Fi technologies and the introduction of VoiceMAX.

 

Regardless of type, all of Airspan's Intel-based CPEs have versions with embedded Wi-Fi Access Point. This capability enables them to simultaneously offer both WiMAX and Wi-Fi, thus enabling the service provider to address a variety of markets including fixed, nomadic, portable and mobile WiMAX together with any Wi-Fi enabled device.

 

The challenges associated with delivering time critical services such as voice and video over a shared medium such as wireless access are well known. Airspan's VoiceMAX gives operators the ability to deliver carrier-grade VoIP through a software suite that provides admission control and manages network congestion to deliver the best user experience for VoIP calls across a HiperMAX network operating fixed, nomadic and mobile profiles simultaneously.

 

We in Airspan believe that now is the right time to build your WiMAX network. The advanced technologies we have embedded into our products ensure that whether you plan to start with Fixed WiMAX and migrate to Mobile WiMAX in the future or go for Mobile WiMAX from the outset, your investment in safe and your network is ready for tomorrow's opportunities.

 

Airspan has captured a large proportion of the WiMAX sales to date thanks to its global sales force and world-class OEM partners including Ericsson, Fujitsu and Nortel.

 

It's industry leading technologies and solutions coupled with years of experience of building and supporting large BWA networks make Airspan the ideal partner for Mobile and Fixed WiMAX deployments.
