WMX
Base Station Radio (3.3 and 3.5GHz)
Carrier Class WiMAX BSR
ADC’s Flexwave
™
WMX series Base Station is among the world’s first carrier grade WiMAX systems
certified by the WiMAX Forum
™
.
The industry-leading WMX series of Base Station Radios (BSR) are available in a variety of frequency
bands to address regulatory requirements and spectrum availability across more than 90 countries.
The 3.3Ghz and 3.5Ghz BSR offer patented link-management technology for enhanced link-
reliability and high spectral efficiency even under interference conditions.
As with all WMX WiMAX products, the 3.3GHz and the 3.5GHz Base Station Radios are
in full compliance with WiMAX standards, including IEEE 802.16-2004, operating OFDM 256
FFT PHY in TDD mode.
The WMX base station system has two components: the all-outdoor base station radio (BSR) and
the indoor chassis. The BSR transceiver will accept an OFDM signal at 70 MHz from either the
WMX 3000 or WMX 5000 WiMAX base station. A single cable connects the outdoor radio with
the WMX IDU supplying power, 70 MHz intermediate frequency TDD, and telemetry. The unit is
moisture sealed and operates in inclement and extreme weather conditions.
ADC also offers Base Station Radios in the 5.4GHz, 5.8GHz bands for use in both licensed as well
as license-exempt spectrum. All products are environmentally conscious and
are RoHS compliant.
