BreezeACCESS® VL 900Market-Leading Capacity and Performance for Fixed

or Mobile Access Through the Trees

BreezeACCESS VL 900, Alvarion’s broadband wireless platform in the 900 MHz frequency, is part of the BreezeACCESS product family, the performance and feature benchmark solution for license-exempt bands. Superior features such as non-line-of-sight (NLOS), extended reach, high capacity in all packet sizes, encryption, and end-to-end QoS for time-critical applications are key to its success in deployments worldwide.

The BreezeACCESS VL 900 has been built upon the success of the rugged and reliable BreezeACCESS VL platform, plus the advanced mobility features with the make-before-break algorithm of the existing BreezeACCESS 900 platform.

Enabling customers to get the best of both worlds, the VL 900 will support both fixed and mobile applications allowing long range, high- capacity broadband for rural markets with near-NLOS and excellent propagation capabilities that are inherent to the 900 MHz unlicensed band, but also take advantage of the high-power radio.

BreezeACCESS VL 900 offers both fixed subscriber units with enough capacity to service commercial customers and a ruggedized mobile subscriber (SU-M) for public safety, mobile municipal work forces and industrial field applications such as oil & gas.

BreezeACCESS VL 900 provides the same simple, hassle-free installation that is the hallmark of the BreezeACCESS VL family. The new 900 MHz version also includes hardware-based AES and an optional upgrade for FIPS 197 (as do all VL products) to provide the secure encryption required for many applications without the dramatic reduction in capacity suffered by other software-based AES products.

BreezeACCESS VL 900 enables true double play support in rural markets with limited or NLOS, multiple levels of QoS, market- leading capacity and the highest packet-per-second performance in 900 MHz.

Choose BreezeACCESS VL 900

Economic Advantages• More revenues by providing subscribers toll-quality voice and

video services with differentiated price packages for multiplespeeds and upgrade options

• Less infrastructure investment today - NLOS, high capacity,outstanding coverage, multi-subscriber profiles in same sectorand network, modular and flexible “pay-as-you-grow” enablesfewer base stations and site constructions

• Complete spectrum solution for the VL line where all UL frequencies can be supported with shared redundant power, single management and one chassis.

• Out-of-the-box low cost installation -• 10 LEDs SNR BAR display on outdoor unit for fast antenna

alignment without external tools or monitors, standardCAT-5 cable and best AU mode for fast association

• Optimal performance through always-on adaptive modulation and automatic transmit power control (ATPC)

• Over-the-air software upgrade for easy, cost-saving installation• Lower OPEX - fewer base stations, remote management and

remote firmware upgrade, effective diagnostic tools, selfadaptive to environmental changes

Technological Advantages• Wide coverage, more customers with fewer base stations• Multimedia Application Prioritization (MAP) using wireless

link prioritization for full end-to-end QoS• Very high capacity and packet processing for best network

performances and high number of VoIP calls• Best access unit (AU) selection - for fast and simple SU

association with best AU detected, also acts as a redundancymechanism that automatically selects second best AU if bestAU fails

Pay as You Grow• Begin with an AUS for up to 25 users per sector and when the

business and customer base justifies it, upgrade with a fast over-the-air software to a full AU supporting up to 512 SUs.

• Start with a 3 Mbps SU and increase capacity up to 8 Mbps remotely

Management Advantages• AlvariSTAR - a comprehensive network management support

tool with scalable architecture, topology management,configuration and monitoring, fault management, andperformance monitoring

• AlvariCRAFT - a configuration and monitoring utility thatis intuitive and simple to use and enables simultaneous firmware upgrades for multiple CPEs

Extensive Access Suite Features• Bridging functionality - simple configuration, fast installation

802.1Q VLAN support with trunk, access and hybrid and QinQ802.ad modes

• QoS - end-to-end QoS with Wireless Link Prioritization (WLP) using packet prioritization

• SLA enforcement - supports committed information rates(CIR) and maximum information rates (MIR) per user, perdirection; packet prioritization with IP TOS, VLAN, DiffServ andUDP/TCP port range classification, and graceful degradationin case of congestion

Security and Filtering Options• AES 128 and WEP 128 encryption options - and new

FIPS 197 encryption mode, certified according to FederalInformation Processing Standards, access/denial list enablingonly authorized CPEs to connect , Hidden ESSID mode, certifiable to FIPS 140-2

• Access control with IP address protocol and MAC basedfiltering, offering better control including being able to limitthe number of authorized IP addresses, enabling an additionalsource of revenue or for preventing local broadcasts fromflooding the wireless link

Flexibility and Modularity• Flexible topology allowing stand-alone or chassis based

configurations for modular and scalable solutions enabling“pay as you grow”. Deployable in multiple sectors using variousantenna choices

• AC and DC power supply options• Supports 3 Mbps and 8 CPE rates with attached and

external antenna options• Upgradeable CPE bandwidth over the air

• Supports various redundancy options• Built in Forward Error Correction and retransmission correcting

lost and damaged bits• Full outdoor rated equipment option with OPS-AC-HD

System ComponentsThe BreezeACCESS VL solution consists of a base station and customer premises equipment (CPE) units. The base stations are available as either modular or stand-alone micro cell units. CPEs are available in various models for differing band-widths and single or multiple user configurations.

Subscriber Units (SUs)The SU enables customer connection with the base station and supports single or multiple end users. SUs provide an efficient platform for always-on, high-speed Internet and Intranet, VoIP, VPN and other services. Each SU connects to the network through a standard Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ-45) interface and connects to its outdoor part via CAT-5 cable. Each SU kit includes a single data port indoor unit, CAT-5 indoor-outdoor cable, pole mounted outdoor unit and integrated antenna in most cases.
