AN-100UX Base Station

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail

The RedMAX™ AN-100UX base station is a high-powered version of Redline's popular RedMAX™AN-100U. The AN-100UX is designed in compliance with WiMAX standards to be fully interoperable with a range of WiMAX Forum Certified™ devices. With an industry-leading 36 dBm of power, the AN-100UX significantly extends capacity and range for fixed and nomadic broadband wireless access to information, wireless video surveillance, wireless data acquisition and wireless Smart Grid connectivity.

Overview

AN100UX

The extremely low latency of the AN-100UX ensures reliable delivery of delay-sensitive services such as circuit-switched voice, voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP), video and prioritized data traffic. Uplink sub-channelization automatically gives each subscriber the highest throughput possible under varying subscriber loading conditions. A full suite of Quality of Service (QoS) controls can be applied individually and on the fly to 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, the RedMAX™ AN-100UX 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 and enables more efficient spectrum and channels usage when operating time-division duplex (TDD) radios in close proximity. Each RedMAX™ AN-100UX supports as many as 511 users, for a total capacity of more than 3,000 subscribers per cell site.

The RedMAX™ AN-100UX is fully upgradeable in the field 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 requirements, making it the perfect choice for mission-critical deployment.

Easy and economical to deploy, fully featured and scalable, the RedMAX™ AN-100UX base station is the ideal solution for any WiMAX access network where high capacity and range are required.
