Runcom's PicoPlus fully integrated outdoor WiMAX BS provides flexible, cost-effective
WiMAX network deployment solutions where increased capacity and coverage is required.
‘All-in-one’ architecture combined with simple, single-handed installation and fast rollout
make these BSs an ideal solution for operators that want to get in on the ground floor of
WiMAX deployment at significant CAPEX reductions and maximum return on their network
deployment.
