The Quantum 1000 Base Station provides standard WiMax smart antenna support:
• 
AAS processing (beam forming and null steering)
•  AMC-like subchannel 
assignments
The system uses advanced technology to realize exceptional performance gains:
• 
Fast transmit/receive compensation necessary for channel reciprocity for mobility,
•  Complexity-
reducing algorithms that allow more than 2 antennas per sector,
•  Proces
sing algorithms that virtually eliminate interference instead of beam steering algorithms 
that provide limited benefits and do not scale to multi
• 
Flexibility to grow coverage by adding sectors in a compact and modular fashion.
A Quan
tum 1000 Base Station Sector provides 8 times the spectral efficiency and significant link gain 
relative to standard WiMax Wave-
2 solutions. 
The benefits are:  
• 
High capacity deployments using fewer channels, 
• 
Reduced or no cell planning, 
•  Fewer base stat
ions are needed to cover a region, and 
• 
Improved user performance.
The base station is highly modular. The key comp
