MacroMAXe Base Station

• Fully integrated macro-cell Base Station with 2x2 MIMO

• Compact and light-weight form factor for optimum OPEX performance
• Support for 2x10MHz or 1x20MHz channels
• Advanced RF features for optimized coverage and throughput

MacroMAXe is a class-leading 2nd 20MHz channels (Mobile WiMAX

generation Mobile WiMAX base profile Rel. 1.5) as well. MacroMAXe
station which employs the software has been designed to support either
