Alcatel-Lucent WiMAX • Making Universal Broadband a Reality 11
Manageable Quality of Service
In order to meet each customer’s Service Level
Agreement (SLA), the Alcatel-Lucent
WiMAX solution allows operators to create
permanent connections with different QoS
levels (SLAs) on terminal entry for High-Speed
Internet and VPN services.
In addition, Alcatel-Lucent WiMAX dynam-
ically manages the QoS over the air, call
per call, for services such as video and VoIP.
Because of the low latency, WiMAX enables
real-time applications like online gaming.
It also enables the optimal use of radio resources.
Alcatel-Lucent’s Open CPE Program
for a fully interoperable solution
One of the main objectives of service providers
is to offer a wide range of CPE with different
features and form factors, all of which
interoperate predictably with their network
infrastructure.
Alcatel-Lucent has implemented an Open CPE
Program to meet our three main objectives:
• To drive new feature availability through
partnerships and joint development
agreements with leading chipset vendors,
• To facilitate the emergence of a broader
variety of devices to stimulate the CPE
eco-system
• To enlarge commercial CPE offerings
by turning technical collaborations into
commercial agreements
In order to achieve these objectives,
Alcatel-Lucent established WiMAX
interoperability (IOT) centers in several
regions and opened a global network of
Executive Briefing Centers (EBC) where
the end-to-end solution, including terminals,
is demonstrated alongside Alcatel-Lucent’s
broad solutions portfolio.
