MMX 8000
Multi-Sector WiMAX Base Station
The FlexWave
MMX 8000 is a member of the FlexWave MMX family, a line of mobile WiMAX
broadband wireless access systems based on the 802.16e mobile standard, WiMAX forum
WAVE2 (MIMO) certification.
The MMX 8000 base station is an ideal, cost-effective solution for wireless access services
designed for point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access for mobile and fixed applications in
various conditions and locations. This outdoor base station is designed for simple installation and
mounting on poles, street lamps or walls.
The FlexWave MMX 8000 can be configured as a 1-, 2- or 3-sector base station with each sector
supporting up to 1000 subscriber units. This system easily scales with subscriber growth by
extending coverage through the inclusion of additional sectors to support additional subscribers
and bandwidth.
The MMX 8000 base station provides all the functionality necessary to communicate with fixed
and mobile subscriber units according to service criteria and customer Service Level Agreements
(SLAs). It connects to the service provider’s network backbone, supporting the necessary
end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS).
The FlexWave system uses OFDMA radio technology, which is robust in adverse channel conditions
and enables Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) operation. This allows for improved coverage, while
maintaining a high level of spectral efficiency. Modulation and coding are continuously adapted
to prevailing link conditions, ensuring an optimal balance between robustness and efficiency. The
use of STC/MRC and MIMO radio technologies optimize link performance to ensure maximum
bandwidth and service coverage.
The MMX 8000 is supported by the FlexWave network management system.
