Airspan Networks' Latest Mobile WiMAX Base Station Designed for the 2.3GHz and 2.5GHz Bands
(Product News, 26 Feb 2008)
Airspan Networks Inc. and Fujitsu Ltd have signed a four-year cooperation agreement to jointly build a leading-class Mobile WiMAX Base Station designed for carriers in the 2.5GHz and 2.3GHz bands. Featuring the combined advanced technologies of both parties, the new basestation, named MacroMAXe, will significantly cut the time to market and minimize a WiMAX carrier's capital outlay and ongoing operational costs.
The basestation can deliver two to three times the capacity of similar products by using a highly featured implementation of the WiMAX radio interface. MacroMAXe will also enable carriers to operate with both today's and future versions of the mobile WiMAX air interface, providing protection for their investment in mobile WiMAX infrastructure.
