Hitachi (News - Alert) Communication Technologies Ltd. and Alvarion Ltd. have teamed to develop a Broadband Mobile Wireless Access System using Mobile WiMAX technology.
Under the agreement, Hitachi Com and Alvarion (News - Alert) will develop total system solutions, combining the base station technology of Alvarion with the mobile gateway technology, construction and maintenance technology of Hitachi Com.
Hitachi Com will be developing ASN-GW featuring common platform architecture with expansion potential to accommodate traffic increase through separating protocol processor from traffic processor. In addition, ASN-GW has got non-stop configuration to realize the quality of carrier grade so that it can switch to the redundant system without influencing other equipment such as base stations and mobile stations through mirroring of operation information and immediate transfer of IP addresses.
Alvarion will develop high performance macro/micro base stations compatible with AAS and MIMO – key features in the WiMAX (News - Alert) Forum Wave 2 specifications. The combination of MIMO and AAS facilitates effective cell design and both area coverage and system capacity increase.
WiMAX is a broadband wireless standard based on the specifications 802.16 working group in IEEE (News - Alert) formulates. It offers faster speed service at a lower price when compared with 3rd generation.
