System overview
NextNet Wireless designed the Expedience system to give small office, home
office (SOHO), and residential subscribers high speed, wireless access to network
communication systems, such as the Internet.
The Expedience system is an end-to-end broadband wireless access system for
multichannel multipoint distribution service (MMDS) frequencies (2.5 - 2.686
GHz). The system is a local loop, wireless alternative that offers a last mile solution
for packet data and voice.
The Expedience system consists of two equipment components: customer premise
equipment (CPE) and base stations. You install base stations in sectors, within
cells.
The system does not
have a line-of-sight (LOS) requirement between the base
station and the CPEs. The air link between base stations and CPEs functions as an
Ethernet bridge carrying IP/ARP packets. Time division duplex (TDD) and
