“The full duplex FDD CPE as
opposed to a half duplex CPE, supports aggregate capacity in excess of
40 Mbit/s in a 7 MHz channel and allows operators to offer excellent
quality voice and video services to business and residential users,”
said Jamal Hamdani, president & CEO of Axxcelera Broadband Wireless. ”We
are pleased to be the first company to achieve WiMAX certification on a
completely full duplex FDD system and we believe that this, together
with the rest of our product portfolio, offers a comprehensive set of
solutions to our customers.”
“Axxcelera’s WiMAX system will help
network operators build out their fixed WiMAX networks,” said Ron
Resnick, president of the WiMAX Forum. “Because each unit of the full
duplex FDD system has achieved the WiMAX Forum Certified seal, operators
can be assured that this is a robust fixed WiMAX solution that will
operate seamlessly with other WiMAX Forum Certified products.”
The 3.5 GHz ExcelMax platform operates in
the 3.3-3.8 GHz licensed spectrum. It comprises three different base
station architectures: a Carrier-Class base station chassis, a Stackable
Ultralite base station and a completely integrated outdoor Access Point.
Three different CPE types complement the range of base station products:
an outdoor full duplex FDD CPE for VoIP and Triple Play business
customers, an outdoor half duplex FDD/TDD CPE for high speed internet
and VoIP customers and a low cost self-install indoor CPE for
residential customers. Broadband users on the ExcelMax system can be
centrally provisioned and managed using a scalable carrier grade
ExcelMax provisioning and management platform. The ExcelMax platform
supports FDD and TDD operation, allowing the use of ExcelMax solutions
in different regions of the world where either FDD or TDD spectrum has
been allocated. Existing Axxcelera Excel Air customers will be able to
upgrade their base stations for WiMAX operation. Future 802.16e
operation will be supported in the Carrier-Class base stations and
Access Point configurations.
