General

BreezeMAX Extreme is a full-outdoor, all-in-one small WiMAX Base Transceiver
Station. With a range of configuration options for rural, urban and suburban
deployments, and all the benefits of Alvarion's Open WiMAX Ecosystem, the
BreezeMAX Extreme system present an exceptionally attractive cost/performance
ratio for various needs, improving operational costs and reducing complexity.
The system is currently available in the following frequency bands:
3.x GHz band: Offering optimal solutions for capacity limited scenarios and

rural areas or highly price sensitive situations. Co-existence with the 4Motion
Macro BTS supports expansion of Macro deployments providing optimization
of both initial and final investment. Currently available units operate in the
3.400-3.600 GHz (3.5 GHz) and 3.650-3.700 GHz (3.65 GHz) bands.
5 GHz band units: Offering all the advantages of WiMAX, providing carrier

class QoS with superior radio technology and leveraging the benefits of mass
market ecosystem (low price CPEs). Co-existence with the mature
BreezeACCESS VL product line. Currently available units operate in the
4.900-5.350 GHz (4.9 GHz) band and 5.470-5.950 GHz (5.4 GHz) band.
Actually available frequencies and other operational capabilities depend on the
applicable local regulations.
BreezeMAX Extreme supports different working modes:
Embedded Distributed ASN-GW Authenticated: The ASN-GW functionality

resides in the BTS (distributed architecture). MS authentication and services
provisioning are managed by an external AAA server.
Embedded Distributed ASN-GW Not Authenticated: The ASN-GW functionality

resides in the BTS (distributed architecture). MS authentication and services
provisioning are managed by the ASN-GW using local configuration (AAA
server not needed).
External ASN-GW: The ASN-GW is a separate entity (centralized architecture)

that communicates with the BTS over R6 interface. MS authentication and
services provisioning are managed by a AAA server.
