Why MicroMAX-SOC?Why MicroMAX-SOC?

• Based on the latest wireless technology ( )

• ‘Pay as you GROW’– Low entry price

– Ideal for rural and CCTV applications

– Ideal to provide ADSL / CATV complementary services

• Full flexibility for the operator:– BSR redundancy

– SDA redundancy

– Using different types of sectors (60 degree, 120 degree, 360 degrees etc)

MicroMAX-SOC uses SequansMicroMAX-SOC uses Sequans

• Based on Sequans System on a Chipset (SOC)

• Can support up to 28 MHz channels (full duplex)

• Potential for growth

• SOC initially optimised for IEEE802.16-2004

– 2nd phase will include an optimised 16e

• SOC engine enables the MicroMAX-SOC to provide best cost/performance

– Low cost and easy installation

• External antennas:– Third-party High gain antennas

– Sectorisation:

• 30, 60 (High gain),

• 90, 120, 180, 360 (0mni)

• SNMP management (Netspan)

• WEB management

• Configuration File

• RF Band:– 3. 5 GHz FDD (Full Duplex!)

– Adaptive Modulation and FEC – 7 Burst Profiles• 64QAM 3/4, 64 QAM 2/3, 16 QAM 3/4, 16 QAM 1/2, QPSK 3/4, QPSK 1/2, BPSK 1/2

– Spectrum: 3.4 – 3.6 GHz, 3.5 / 1.75 MHz channels• 3.5GHz FDD Low (3.5F1) UL 3400 to 3452MHz

• 3.5GHz FDD High (3.5F1) UL 3450 to 3500MHz

– Security• DES encryption (3-DES for keys)

• AES encryption (Roadmap)

– Uplink Sub Channelisation

– Packing and Packet Header Suppression (PHS)

– PMP: up to 256 CPEs per BSR

– Networking:• Transparent Bridging – 4,000 entries in LAN tables of BSR

• VLAN tagging/un-tagging – up to 512 VLANs – currently VLAN pass through supported only. (Rel.3.0 will provide additional support)

24 October 200610

Features & Capabilities (Contd.)Features & Capabilities (Contd.)

• QoS and Bandwidth Management– Packet Classification – Based On:

• Source/Destination IP Addresses

• Source/Destination MAC Addresses

• Protocols and Applications

• 802.1Q/p, DiffServ/TOS

– nrtPS, BE – as defined by IEEE802.16-2004

– UGS, rtPS – (Not currently supported)

– CIR / MIR

– CIR Proportional Degradation:

• In case of CIR overbooking each CPE gets k*CIR (k is overbooking factor)

• FDD Full Duplex BTS– Full Duplex BSR

– Half Duplex SS

• Dynamic Frequency Selection - DFS

BSR Redundancy – Using SDA-4SBSR Redundancy – Using SDA-4S

BSRs with different channels cover the same / overlapping areasIn case BSR or link to BSR drops – the other BSR will be used Load sharing – all BSRs are active
