Air4Gs Small Package, Big Performance Extremely compact, cost-optimized wireless base station solution
Air4Gs All-in-one, all-outdoor, compact, cost-optimized solution.
High Performance Micro Base Station Airspan is committed to developing the right equipment and technologies to assist customers set up costeffective networks that can seamlessly run the appropriate applications. Therefore, Airspan has developed the Air4Gs-an extremely compact, cost-optimized solution, which provides operators with uncompromised functionality at a great value for the money. Air4Gs is a high-performance, all-in-one, all-outdoor, carrier-grade, 4G compact micro base station. With a small, thin and light form factor (weighing only 10.5 kg/23.15 lb) and consuming extremely low power (less than 90 watts), Air4Gs is easy and affordable to install and maintain. Air4Gs is ideal for Operator and Carrier networks in suburban and rural environments as well as urban deployment extensions. The product is also optimized for vertical applications such as smart grid or transportation, where there is often a need for a powerful, cost-effective solution. Air4Gs is available for the 1.4 GHz, 2.3 GHz (WCS band in the USA) and 3.X GHz bands (supporting the entire 50 MHz in the 3.65 GHz band in USA). Other bands will become available as business requirements evolve. Uncompromised Performance Similar in architecture and built to complement its sister base station (Air4G), Air4Gs is designed to easily integrate into an existing Airspan powered network. Leveraging the existing infrastructure, Air4G utilizes the same core network, user devices and antennas, while being managed through the same powerful network management tool, called Netspan. The particular features incorporated into the design of Air4Gs, including the Tx power, number of transceivers, and the option of interfaces, offer high performance at an attractive cost, providing operators the functionality they need, with appropriate coverage and data rates to support a healthy business model. Air4Gs is an all-in-one, all-outdoor solution. There is no need for an air-conditioned shelter or for IF/optical/CAT5 cables connecting between an indoor unit and outdoor unit (typical to base stations with split architecture). This design and its small power consumption dramatically reduce OPEX and CAPEX. Air4Gs is a mobile WiMAX (IEEE802.16e) Base Station and has standard R1 and R6 interfaces. Air4Gs operates with a large selection of Airspan end user devices and has proven interoperability with units of every type of form factor including outdoor CPEs, USB dongles and indoor CPEs with/without VoIP and Wi-Fi. Air4Gs communicates seamlessly with devices loaded with leading chips including those of Sequans, GCT, Beceem and Mediatek. Air4Gs has a proven high level of integration with various ASN gateways (such as Starent/Cisco and WiChorus/Tellabs) and with various AAA solutions (such as Bridgewater, WiTECH, Juniper and Free Radius). Air4Gs also has a unique powerful standalone mode where no ASN gateway is required.
Comprehensive Solution - Matching Data Traffic Requirements The standalone mode can be used for fixed/nomadic applications when there is no need for true mobility features such as seamless handover and idle mode support. Air4Gs has 2Tx2Rx with Tx power as high as 2*33 dbm. It supports MIMO Matrix A (for better link budget) and MIMO Matrix B (for doubling the capacity) the selection between MIMO A and MIMO B is dynamic. It supports other advanced mobile WiMAX features such as Fractional Frequency Reuse (FFR). In situations where applications demand higher data rates on the uplink, (better link budget ensures higher modulations and therefore higher data rates), four base station receivers may be required and in those cases, another Air4Gs model with four receivers is available. For the longest range and highest capacity needs, Air4G would be a better fit. Airspan offers a large selection of base stations to match the data traffic demands of any network. With a heterogeneous network, consisting of a mixture of micro, pico and macro base stations, an operator can maximize coverage while minimizing expenses. Air4Gs can be perfectly combined with Air4G and AirSynergy to best optimize a network and offer an operator comprehensive network coverage, capacity and functionality. In addition, all base stations can be managed from the same core network, incorporating only one network management solution with minimized core network components and training. Air4Gs WiMAX variants are now available. An LTE version of the product is currently in production and will be commercially available shortly. Air4Gs supports IP CS and Ethernet CS, either separately or simultaneously, as well as VLAN pass-through, VLAN tagging/ untagging., VLAN-in-VLAN and Management VLAN. Air4Gs works with Airspan s unique VoiceMAXe server providing a carrier-class Voice over IP (VoIP) solution. VoiceMAXe provides admission control of VoIP calls per sector, providing busy network tone to calls that cannot be accepted. It also supports emergency calls (such as 911 calls in the USA), prioritizing and ensuring such calls go through while disconnecting standard calls if there is not enough bandwidth.
