Wireless Solutions for Broadband Plant Extensions and Quadruple Play Services
The WaveRider Last Mile Solution by Vecima Networks is the world's most advanced non-line of sight (NLOS) broadband wireless system, designed specifically for the 900 MHz spectrum. WaveRider offers a self-installable indoor CPE, a ruggedized outdoor CPE and a mobile unit for in-vehicle use. WaveRiders' robust 4.9 GHz and 5.8 GHz point to point and point to multipoint radios are ideal for operators requiring up to 108 Mbps for high-throughput backhaul applications. With over 70,000 units deployed, operators have come to rely on WaveRider products for superior performance and reliability.
As a leader in the WiMAX industry, Vecima is pleased to offer the VistaMAX(TM) lineup of products based upon the IEEE 802.16d wireless standard. Using Time Division Duplexing to maximize spectral efficiency and an OFDM air interface to enable true NLOS connectivity, the VistaMAX(TM) solution provides up to 22 Mbps of throughput in a 7 MHz channel. In addition to carrier-class base stations and outdoor subscriber stations, the VistaMAX(TM) product family also offers a picocell base station. The picocell is ideal for use as a signal repeater, or as a cost effective solution to provide service to a smaller, localized subscriber base. With over a decade of experience in the wireless industry, Vecima has sold WiMAX units globally with deployments on five continents. VistaMAX(TM) products are currently available for the 1.9 GHz and 3.5 GHz bands with a 5 GHz version planned as well as numerous other frequency bands.
