Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail

Redline's RedMAX™ AN-100U is the world's first WiMAX Forum Certified™ base station. Easy and cost-effective to deploy, the RedMAX™ AN-100U facilitates rapid provisioning for fixed and nomadic broadband wireless access to information, wireless video surveillance, wireless data acquisition and wireless Smart Grid and Smart Field connectivity.

Overview

AN_100U

The AN-100U’s extremely low latency ensures reliable delivery of delay-sensitive services such as circuit switched voice, voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP), video and prioritized data traffic. A full suite of Quality of Service (QoS) controls can be applied individually and on the fly for each subscriber according to their Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Available in 3.3 GHz to 3.5 GHz, 3.4 GHz to 3.6 GHz, 3.6 GHz to 3.8 GHz and the 3.65 to 3.7 GHz FCC / IC bands, the RedMAX™ AN-100U can be deployed in clusters of up to six (60-degree) sectors to form high capacity, multi-sector cell sites. Its global positioning system (GPS) time synchronization feature facilitates tight frequency reuse, enabling more efficient spectrum and channels usage when operating time-division duplex (TDD) radios in close proximity.

The RedMAX™ AN-100U is fully field upgradeable by software download to accommodate updates and future enhancements. Over-the-air (OTA) provisioning simplifies control, improves customer service and lowers cost. Its robust design is highly reliable and meets stringent carrier-class Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) Level 3 design requirements making it the perfect choice for mission-critical deployments.

Easy and economical to deploy, high performance and fully featured, the RedMAX™ AN-100U base station is the ideal solution for any WiMAX access network.
