o n C o m p o n e n t s Radio Access Network The Radio Access Network (RAN) is the part of a mobile telecommunications system that connects end user devices to the 4G network Core. Alvarion s RAN portfolio includes a diversity of indoor and outdoor platforms - Macro and Micro BreezeMAX base stations to enable an optimal solution suited to the operator s market needs and geographical conditions. Core Networking Linking the RAN to the application layer, 4G Core Networking forms the central component of the network. The Alvarion Core Network is designed to provide pay-as-you grow scalability. The solution can be tailored to small, rural challenger networks as well as for large scale, nationwide deployments. End User Devices The End User Device is the customer s access point to a 4G network. It includes fixed or nomadic enablers such as indoor and outdoor CPEs and 4G equipment such as a Smartphones, MIDs or laptops. Physically, the device is connected at the edge of the network, although functionally it connects to the entire system. The 4Motion ecosystem supports a range of end user devices, consisting of outdoor and indoor CPEs and personal devices such as laptops, PC cards, USB dongles and UMPCs (Ultra Mobile PCs). Applications The application layer of the 4Motion network enables operators to host the latest in wireless broadband applications made available to subscribers. These applications integrate high-speed voice, data and video. Today, thousands of applications are supported, and with the materialization of 4G, the bandwidth barrier has been removed to enable location-based and mobile shopping applications. Network Management The Star management suite is a unified carrier-class management solution for 4Motion. Featuring 4 modules for managing networks and end user devices, assuring QoS and generating inventory reports, it provides operators with comprehensive monitoring and control of the entire network. 5
