Base Station speeds deployment of Mobile WiMAX services.
August 3, 2006 -
Based on OFDMA technology, BX-3000 Micro Base Station and SX Series mobile terminals are built with programmable Software Defined Radio architecture, allowing upgrades to software and services. Base station supports Gigabit Ethernet backhaul, dynamic IP routing with mobility, and Smart Antenna technologies, as well as high-speed optical interfaces between baseband unit and up to 3 outdoor RF units. SX Series terminals are suited for fixed, portable, true mobile, or vehicular use.

ADAPTIX Announces New BX-3000 Micro Base Station and SX Series of Mobile Terminals for Rapid Deployment of Mobile WiMAX Services
Pioneer of OFDMA Technology Offers New High Performance, Yet Cost-Efficient Solution for IP-based Fixed + Mobile Broadband Service
DALLAS, June 26 / -- ADAPTIX, one of the earliest developers of orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) technology, is introducing a new family of end-to-end mobile networking products based on its powerful Software Defined Radio (SDR) architecture. The new products, centered on an innovative optically-connected "virtual base station" approach, give service providers extreme flexibility in rolling out a cost-optimized Mobile WiMAX service network.
"2006 represents a milestone year for the commercialization of Mobile WiMAX, and ADAPTIX's strategy and new products are designed to assist both mobile and fixed carriers with the transition from voice-centric to multimedia-centric services," said ADAPTIX's Vice President of Marketing and Product Management Byron Young. "Our new BX-3000 Micro Base Station family represents the next wave of IP-based OFDMA base stations that will cost a fraction of what large, macro platforms will, while offering substantially better per-sector and per-user performance over 3G."
"The traditional macro cell configuration typically does not offer the kind of per-user throughput or flexibility of a micro or pico cell approach," said Iain Gillott, founder and president of iGR, a market consultancy focused on the wireless and mobile industry. "As more and more people around the world use wireless and mobile services, demands on traditional network architectures are increasing, and it is clear that fresh approaches are required."
Based on ADAPTIX's own core OFDMA technology, the new BX-3000 base station line and SX series of mobile terminals are built with a highly programmable Software Defined Radio architecture, allowing easy software upgrades to new features such as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) as well as new services based on OFDMA beyond Mobile WiMAX. Next Generation PHS, 3GPP's Long Term Evolution (LTE), and the IEEE's 802.22 are all emerging standards considering OFDMA as their base physical layer standard.
While many companies are only now working on their first generation OFDMA products, ADAPTIX has constructed its third generation mobile OFDMA engine for the BX-3000 family, while also supporting the new robust IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard with its very first release. Its fully programmable, hardware-accelerated design makes it possible for the BX-3000 to achieve peak performance while supporting standards-based QoS for new services like Voice over IP and Mobile IPTV. Advanced functionality such as Gigabit Ethernet backhaul, dynamic IP routing with mobility, and Smart Antenna technologies such as MIMO are also supported. Finally, the BX-3000 supports high-speed optical interfaces between its ultra-compact baseband unit and up to three outdoor RF units, enabling a wide range of installation options while maximizing RF performance.
Complementing the BX-3000 is ADAPTIX's new SX series of Mobile Terminals. Smaller and lighter than a typical travel hard drive, the SX-300 Compact Mobile Terminal is ideal for fixed, portable and true mobile uses. The SX-500 High-Performance Mobile Terminal, designed for fixed, portable or vehicular use, features a dual antenna array and can support peak throughput of more than 10 Mbps.
"ADAPTIX was one of the earliest innovators of OFDMA technology with two prior pre-WiMAX mobile systems already in deployment," said Young. "Our third generation family provides the right combination of spectral efficiency, superior performance and cost efficiency that carriers require in order to take Mobile WiMAX and other emerging OFDMA services to the next step - mass deployment."
