1. Introduction

The WiN7000 is a member of the RuggedMAX™ family, a line of mobile WiMAX broadband wireless access systems based on the 802.16e mobile WiMAX standard. RuggedMAX systems are designed for robustness and simplicity, offering feature-rich services with low deployment and operation costs.

The WiN7000 base station is a cost-effective solution for wireless access services, designed for point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access applications in varying conditions and locations. The WiN7000 is a one-sector base station, supporting up to 800 subscriber units. Through the addition of routing units, the system can be extended to as many sectors as required and can support additional subscribers and bandwidths.

The base station communicates with fixed and mobile subscriber units, according to defined service criteria and customer service level agreements. The WiN7000 also connects to the service provider backbone, supporting end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) requirements.

The system uses OFDMA radio technology, providing robustness in adverse channel conditions and enabling Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) operation. This improves coverage and maintains a high level of spectral efficiency. Modulation and coding are continuously adapted to prevailing link conditions, ensuring an optimal balance between robustness and efficiency. The use of STC/ MRC and MIMO radio technologies optimizes link performance, ensuring enhanced bandwidth and service coverage.

The RuggedMAX WiN7000 is a full outdoor base station, designed for easy installation and mounting on poles, street lamps, towers, or walls. The WiN7000 can be equipped with copper or fibre network interfaces for flexible integration into the operator’s backbone.

The WiN7000 is supported by RuggedNMS™, RuggedCom’s comprehensive Network Management System.
