Libra MAX-HD is a base station solution that offers service
providers the performance and capacity required for robust
suburban and urban high-density deployments. MAX-HD base
station is housed in a high capacity 1U or 4U chassis that
fits into a 19� rack. The 4U chassis supports up to six hot
swappable sectors with redundancy. Libra MAX-HD is ideal for
multi-sector point-to-multipoint environments requiring denser
coverage and increased capacity. This configuration is ideal
for collocated point-to point and point-to-multipoint
solutions.
Intelligence in WiMAX
The powerful �Network MAX Operating System� (NetMOS�)
integrated into the Libra MAX is the engine that delivers
advanced networking features beyond simple bridging. In
addition to the features included in the WiMAX standard,
NetMOS� supports static and dynamic IP routing, gateway mask,
DNS, DHCP and more.
Innovative service providers can take advantage of these
features to deliver QoS supported differentiated services such
as VoIP, Video on Demand, and Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
to end customers. Best of all, because these networking
features are integrated into the Libra MAX NetMOS, operators
can offer additional services without increasing their
infrastructure requirements.
Dual-Mode Operation
The Libra MAX family has the unique ability of being able to
support both MAX-16 and MAX‑Turbo sectors in the same chassis.
MAX-16
sectors use the IEEE 802.16d WiMAX standard and are aimed at
service providers creating public WiMAX networks for
residential and municipal markets. MAX-Turbo sectors deliver
higher throughput and increased security for enterprise and
military customers using a patented Turbo W-OFDM technology.
The flexible card-based Libra MAX family gives service
providers the ability to offer both 802.16d WiMAX (MAX-16) and
Turbo W-OFDM (MAX-Turbo) in the same network.
Flexible Architecture
The Libra MAX-HD is built on a chassis‑based platform with
interchangeable sector cards that fit all base station form
factors. The use of common sector cards for the 1U and 4U base
stations reduces equipment upgrade costs, saves on the price
of spares, and truly makes the Libra MAX a future‑proof
platform. With the common cPCI framework, increasing capacity
is as simple as inserting additional Libra MAX sector cards.
Each sector card is paired with an Outdoor Unit (ODU) selected
to meet a carrier�s
licensed frequency range, duplexing format and network
redundancy requirements. The ODU is an environmentally
hardened, high-power, multi-carrier radio that connects to an
external
