BreezeACCESS ® VL 900

Market-Leading Capacity and Performance for Fixed or Mobile Access Through the Trees

BreezeACCESS VL 900, Alvarion’s broadband wireless platform in the 900 MHz frequency, is part of the BreezeACCESS product family, the performance and feature benchmark solution for license-exempt bands. Superior features such as non-line-of-sight (NLOS), extended reach, high capacity in all packet sizes, encryption, and end-to-end QoS for time-critical applications are key to its success in deployments worldwide.

The BreezeACCESS VL 900 has been built upon the success of the rugged and reliable BreezeACCESS VL platform, plus the advanced mobility features with the make-before-break algorithm of the existing

BreezeACCESS 900 platform.

Enabling customers to get the best of both worlds, the VL 900 will support both fixed and mobile applications allowing long range, high- capacity broadband for rural markets with near-NLOS and excellent propagation capabilities that are inherent to the 900 MHz unlicensed band, but also take advantage of the high-power radio.

BreezeACCESS VL 900 offers both fixed subscriber units with enough capacity to service commercial customers and a ruggedized mobile subscriber (SU-M) for public safety, mobile municipal work forces and industrial field applications such as oil & gas.

BreezeACCESS VL 900 provides the same simple, hassle-free installation that is the hallmark of the BreezeACCESS VL family. The new 900 MHz version also includes hardware-based AES and an optional upgrade for FIPS 197 (as do all VL products) to provide the secure encryption required for many applications without the dramatic reduction in capacity suffered by other software-based

AES products.

BreezeACCESS VL 900 enables true double play support in rural markets with limited or NLOS, multiple levels of QoS, market- leading capacity and the highest packet-per-second performance in 900 MHz.

Choose BreezeACCESS VL 900

Economic Advantages

• More revenues by providing subscribers toll-quality voice and video services with differentiated price packages for multiple speeds and upgrade options

• Less infrastructure investment today - NLOS, high capacity, outstanding coverage, multi-subscriber profiles in same sector and network, modular and flexible “pay-as-you-grow” enables fewer base stations and site constructions

• Complete spectrum solution for the VL line where all UL frequencies can be supported with shared redundant power, single management and one chassis.

• Out-of-the-box low cost installation -

• 10 LEDs SNR BAR display on outdoor unit for fast antenna alignment without external tools or monitors, standard

CAT-5 cable and best AU mode for fast association

• Optimal performance through always-on adaptive modulation and automatic transmit power control (ATPC)

• Over-the-air software upgrade for easy, cost-saving installation

• Lower OPEX - fewer base stations, remote management and remote firmware upgrade, effective diagnostic tools, self adaptive to environmental changes

Technological Advantages

• Wide coverage, more customers with fewer base stations

• Multimedia Application Prioritization (MAP) using wireless link prioritization for full end-to-end QoS

• Very high capacity and packet processing for best network performances and high number of VoIP calls

• Best access unit (AU) selection - for fast and simple SU association with best AU detected, also acts as a redundancy mechanism that automatically selects second best AU if best

AU fails

Pay as You Grow

• Begin with an AUS for up to 25 users per sector and when the business and customer base justifies it, upgrade with a fast over-the-air software to a full AU supporting up to 512 SUs.

• Start with a 3 Mbps SU and increase capacity up to

8 Mbps remotely

Management Advantages

• AlvariSTAR - a comprehensive network management support tool with scalable architecture, topology management, configuration and monitoring, fault management, and performance monitoring

• AlvariCRAFT - a configuration and monitoring utility that is intuitive and simple to use and enables simultaneous firmware upgrades for multiple CPEs

Extensive Access Suite Features

• Bridging functionality - simple configuration, fast installation

802.1Q VLAN support with trunk, access and hybrid and QinQ

802.ad modes

• QoS - end-to-end QoS with Wireless Link Prioritization (WLP) using packet prioritization

• SLA enforcement - supports committed information rates

(CIR) and maximum information rates (MIR) per user, per direction; packet prioritization with IP TOS, VLAN, DiffServ and

UDP/TCP port range classification, and graceful degradation in case of congestion

Security and Filtering Options

• AES 128 and WEP 128 encryption options - and new

FIPS 197 encryption mode, certified according to Federal

Information Processing Standards, access/denial list enabling only authorized CPEs to connect , Hidden ESSID mode, certifiable to FIPS 140-2

• Access control with IP address protocol and MAC based filtering, offering better control including being able to limit the number of authorized IP addresses, enabling an additional source of revenue or for preventing local broadcasts from flooding the wireless link

Flexibility and Modularity

• Flexible topology allowing stand-alone or chassis based configurations for modular and scalable solutions enabling

“pay as you grow”. Deployable in multiple sectors using various antenna choices

• AC and DC power supply options

• Supports 3 Mbps and 8 CPE rates with attached and external antenna options

• Upgradeable CPE bandwidth over the air

• Supports various redundancy options

• Built in Forward Error Correction and retransmission correcting lost and damaged bits

• Full outdoor rated equipment option with OPS-AC-HD

System Components

The BreezeACCESS VL solution consists of a base station and customer premises equipment (CPE) units. The base stations are available as either modular or stand-alone micro cell units. CPEs are available in various models for differing bandwidths and single or multiple user configurations.

Subscriber Units (SUs)

The SU enables customer connection with the base station and supports single or multiple end users. SUs provide an efficient platform for always-on, high-speed Internet and Intranet,

VoIP, VPN and other services.

Each SU connects to the network through a standard Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ-45) interface and connects to its outdoor part via

CAT-5 cable. Each SU kit includes a single data port indoor unit, CAT-5 indoor-outdoor cable, pole mounted outdoor unit and integrated antenna in most cases.
