8 Alcatel-Lucent WiMAX • Making Universal Broadband a Reality
A Scalable and Powerful Solution
Scalable in Multiple Dimensions
The Alcatel-Lucent WiMAX solution is designed to be
highly scalable in terms of:
• Number of cells (sectors)
• Number of users per cell
• Capacity per cell
The same base station equipment easily migrates from
omni-directional to sectorized coverage and easily
accommodates capacity increases thanks to Advanced
Antenna Technology. This modularity allows efficient
growth of capacity per area, both in terms of bandwidth
and number of supported users.
The Alcatel-Lucent 9740 WiMAX Access Controller
relies on a powerful modular architecture which
efficiently facilitates network growth while minimizing
OPEX.
Fully Scalable Carrier-Grade Management Solution
The Alcatel-Lucent 9753 WiMAX Operation and
Maintenance Center (OMC) is a cost effective, fully
scalable, carrier grade management solution for small
to very large access networks counting thousands of cells
per region. It offers, in a single product, a broad range
of services and optimization tools. Coverage extension
or densification is becoming fast and easy thanks to the
advanced radio provisioning system and base station plug
and play facility. All these different features and tools
contribute to a significant OPEX reduction and a faster
deployment.
