Motorola WAP 400 WiMAX Access Point

Motorola's WAP 400 Access Point delivers on the performance and cost advantages of 802.16e WiMAX, standards-based wireless broadband. Featuring highly integrated and flexible design as well as enhanced RF capabilities, the WAP 400 is an ideal solution for fixed and mobile service applications. The WAP 400 demonstrates great capacity gain in high scattering conditions such as urban environments - increasing the system capacity by nearly twofold. The WAP 400's light design offers flexible deployment options on roof tops, pole mountings, water towers and more. This results in significant savings in operating and site costs.

High Performing
The WAP 400, featuring diversity antenna techniques, is based on the IEEE 802.16e-2005 technology standard and includes spectrally efficient S-OFDMA interface, low latency performance, and IP based architecture. Enhanced system gain supported by diversity MIMO antenna capabilities allows strong indoor penetration as well as support for cellular-like mobility applications. Additionally, QoS capabilities, security features, and redundancy options make the WAP 400 platform a true carrier-class solution.

Fixed & Mobile Application
The WAP 400 access point provides Non-Line-of-Sight, fixed and mobile wireless broadband connections. Paired with a common IP core, the WAP 400 Access Point will support seamless inter-technology handovers.

Ease of Installation and Management
Motorola’s design philosophy for the WiMAX product portfolio focuses on ease of installation, management and operation. The WAP 400 Series features small, “zero-footprint” base sites with an all-outdoors design and flexible mounting options for both the RF Modules and the Base Control Unit.

Reduced CAPEX
The WAP 400 Access Point system benefits from an integrated design that reduces real estate requirements and allows for simple connections between components. Flexible hardware and software programmable radios provide the benefit of no-touch software updates. Integrated RF antenna design eliminates the need for costly and heavy coaxial cables between antennas and baseband modules and avoids power losses associated with heavy RF cabling.

Reduced OPEX
The WAP 400 has been designed as IP end-to-end. The network architecture eliminates high-cost centralized boxes, simplifies management, and reduces core transport costs. Connectivity to standard IP equipment allows operators to realize significant cost advantages.
