2 Product Description
A PMP 320 Access Network provides a low cost point‐to‐multipoint broadband
infrastructure optimized for fixed outdoor applications. The access point is an 802.16e
micro base station with WiMAX CPE interoperability. The system offers an integrated,
all‐outdoor solution with simple installation for rapid deployment.
Target applications for the PMP 320 Access Network include
Tier 2/tier 3 carriers, where the PMP 320 system provides a cost‐
effective, reliable broadband connectivity for residential and business
customers
Government network operators, where the PMP 320 system provides
broadband‐based infrastructure for administrative networks
Wireless service providers, with broadband network service for any
size operation
Wireline service providers, with broadband wireless extensions for
existing DSL or cable networks.
As shown in Figure 1, a PMP 320 network consists of
APs – CAP 320 Access Points, usually tower‐mounted in a four‐sector
configuration.
SMs ‐ CSM 320 Subscriber Modules, Customer Premise Equipment
(CPE), usually mounted on a residence or other structure, and
powered by a power adapter providing standard 802.3af power over
Ethernet.
CMM4 (Cluster Management Module 4) – a zero‐footprint enclosure
housing a GPS module connected to a GPS antenna, sync‐ and power‐
injection circuitry, surge protection, and a managed switch. The CMM
is used to provide custom "sync over power over Ethernet" to the APs
as well as offering a networked, managed switch.
