The BreezeMAX Si 4000 is a family of high capacity residential gateways and
WiMAX Wireless Broadband Access subscriber stations, for a home or small office.
The system provides network connections that are always on, supporting
immediate access to the Internet and other IP services at high data rates. The unit
provides a gateway function between a WiMAX service provider and a local
Ethernet LAN. The device enables service providers to deliver last mile broadband
wireless access as an alternative to wired DSL or cable modems.
The BreezeMAX Si 4000 solution enables the delivery of powerful wireless
broadband services to the subscriber. The BreezeMAX Si 4000 is an
out-of-the-box solution with immediate available local stock enabling virtually
instant network expansion and simplified deployment. BreezeMAX Si 4000
provides a wireless solution for the subscriber to connect to the internet.
BreezeMAX Si 4000 enables service providers to wirelessly extend their services to
