Alcatel-Lucent WiMAX - Manual (Page 4)

IEEE 802.16e-2005 is the Right Technology
The Alcatel-Lucent WiMAX solution is a complete, end-to-end system that is fully compliant
with the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard. This standard affords superior performance for all types
of usage: fixed, nomadic and fully mobile. Alcatel-Lucent’s natively IP solution can be seamlessly
integrated with any IP network and efficiently complements any fixed or mobile infrastructure.
The complete WiMAX portfolio consists of carrier-grade radio-access equipment that allows
operators to deliver voice and broadband services with or without mobility to a large number
of users.
• The WiMAX Base Stations: Alcatel-Lucent 9710 Compact WiMAX Base Station (C-WBS)
and Alcatel-Lucent 9715 Light WiMAX Base Station (L-WBS) facilitate site acquisition
and installation in a wide variety of environments, while offering cost-effective operation
and flexibility for future evolution.
• The Alcatel-Lucent 9740 WiMAX Access Controller (WAC) is designed to be positioned
at the aggregation level and handles subscriber access control and authentication. It is compact
and highly scalable.
• The Alcatel-Lucent 9753 WiMAX Operation and Maintenance Center (OMC) provides easy
and cost-effective network management, operation and maintenance as well as powerful network
optimization capabilities.
Moreover, the standardized Alcatel-Lucent solution is fully interoperable with any terminal
compliant with the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard. Operators can therefore choose from among
a wide selection of terminals to find the devices that best fit their subscribers’ needs.
