Chapter 5 - Wireless Broadband

In this Chapter:
This section provides an overview of the design and benefits of a
Wireless Broadband network architecture based on the Alvarion
BreezeACCESS LB system.
There are several advantages of a Wireless Broadband system over
traditional wire line alternatives such as PSTN, ISDN, T1, DSL, cable
and fiber, including:
Greater availability
Lower cost of ownership per link
Higher throughput (with the exception of fiber)
Greater distances
Quicker time to market
Greater portability
The BreezeACCESS LB system functions logically as a transparent
bridge, providing all the benefits of a converged IP network, i.e., "IP
everywhere". A converged network allows operators to reduce network
build-out costs significantly by employing standard IP appliances
everywhere, from backbone to end-user.
