FlexMAX ABS-1000

The ABS-1000 base station is an essential part of the FlexMAX Mobile WiMAX System. It incorporates many state-of-the-art broadband wireless technologies enabled by the Mobile WiMAX standard.

The ABS-1000 comprises a baseband subsystem and a tower-mounted radio subsystem that reduce power consumption without compromising signal propagation between the two subsystems. This allows service providers to increase subscriber capacity while reducing the number of cell sites required for Mobile WiMAX deployments—and enables them to cost-effectively deliver differentiated services across wide areas as well as in densely packed urban ones.

The ABS-1000 supports AAS, MIMO and STC signaling. By utilizing these antenna technologies, FlexMAX system components dynamically adapt to any terrain or subscriber environment—remote, rural, suburban, urban—by increasing signal strength without increasing power consumption. As a result, service providers can provide the greatest signal coverage and support the highest subscriber density in the industry without adding costs or compromising service quality.

The ABS-1000 base station and FlexMAX mobile stations were designed specifically for non-line of sight broadband wireless applications. Service providers can support up to 1000 subscribers with a single ABS-1000 base station, making it ideal for delivering broadband to the home or small business.

With its compact, one rack unit (RU) size and tower-mounted radio subsystem, the ABS-1000 base station can be deployed almost anywhere—for minimal initial costs. This allows service providers to enter the market quickly and expand their networks on a “pay as you grow” basis while generating revenue.
