Vecima (News - Alert) Networks, a provider of broadband wireless solutions and a principal member of the WiMAX Forum, has introduced the Next Generation WaveRider 900 MHz broadband access system, the LMS8000 Series. The LMS8000 Series includes OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology and incorporates the WaveRider Dynamic Polling MAC.

 

The LMS8000 Series is specifically designed to enable network operators to fully exploit the non-line of-sight advantages of the 900 MHz band. "Since our acquisition of the WaveRider product line about a year ago,

Vecima has committed extensive research and development resources to enhance this product which raises the bar in the 900 MHz arena," said Vecima Executive Vice President Douglas Fast. "The new design provides best in class performance, features and reliability in the industry."

 

The LMS8000 Series consists of the CCU8000 base station, the CCU8010 Integrated base station and the EUM8000 subscriber station. The EUM8000 is an outdoor integrated unit with a smart diversity antenna.

 

"As a beta trial-site, we put the new LMS8000 base radios and subscriber radios into our live network. We are very impressed with the reliability, throughput and adaptive modulation performance of the LMS8000," said Michael Sine, President and CEO of Frontier Communications, based in Belleville, Ontario. "The huge subscriber capacity and the ability to offer additional grades of service will not only enable us to expand our network but will be key to providing higher-speed services to businesses and power users."

 

The EUM8000 is an outdoor integrated unit with a smart diversity antenna. EUM3005 indoor subscriber stations and EUM3006 outdoor model subscriber stations and the MMT9000 mobile units are compatible with the new CCU8000 and CCU8010 base stations.

 

"The new WaveRider LMS8000 Series, combined with the WaveRider 5.8 GHz and 4.9 GHz point-to-point and point-to-multipoint backhaul products, offer leading edge power and simplicity,” said Wayne Fredin, Vecima Networks Vice President of Sales. “The WaveRider product family is the perfect workhorse for a wide array of users including wireless Internet service providers, public safety, municipalities, enterprise, video surveillance and military marketplaces."
