BreezeMAX Wi2 combines the
advantages of the popular WiFi access with the powerful
capabilities of BreezeMAX systems to provide cost-effective
solutions for personal broadband services today, bridging the gap
to full future WiMAX 802.16e personal broadband mobility. The Wi2
system comprises a self-contained combination of an advanced WiFi
Access Point and a BreezeMAX unit that provides backhaul
connectivity. With its robust design, the Wi2 can be deployed most
anywhere to provide broadband mobility to standard WiFi (IEEE
802.11 b/g) end user devices. Used in conjunction with Alvarion’s
market-leading BreezeMAX base stations, the Wi2 can be used to
expand the existing capabilities of Alvarion’s WiMAX and pre-WiMAX
networks. Using the Wi2, a BreezeMAX network can be used to
provide personal broadband services to high-end business as well
as residential users equipped with WiFi enabled devices such as
laptops, PDAs, smart-phones, and portable gaming devices. As a
converged system, the Wi2 also gives operators the ability to
seamlessly transition to a fully mobile WiMAX network with managed
services for personal broadband users.
Operating in both licensed and licensed-exempt frequencies, the
Wi2 system leverages the easy availability of WiFi technology -
along with the power and robustness of BreezeMAX broadband
wireless access system - to answer critical public and private
sector needs such as traffic management, video surveillance,
public Internet access, homeland security, and various nomadic
applications. |
The Wi2 is a self-contained,
robust all-outdoor system that comprises three elements:
- A feature-rich WiFi (IEEE 802.11
b/g) Access Point
- A BreezeMAX SU-ODU (supplied
separately)
- A power supply module that
provides power to both the WiFi AP and the BreezeMAX SU-ODU.
The Wi2 system requires only a single
connection to either AC or DC power. With its easy installation and
operation, high performance, and rich security and QoS feature sets,
the Wi2 is an ideal solution for operators, municipalities and
communities looking to build metropolitan broadband networks or to
integrate WiFi hot zone capabilities into their existing broadband
wireless access networks. The result is personal broadband services
ranging from public Internet access to public safety and Intranet
applications.
