2.3.2.1 Access Points
Figure 2-3 Outdoor Access Point and Mounting Pole
A Base Station can have six Access Points (for 360-degree coverage) or more (for coverage
overlap). Each AP consists of an outdoor transceiver (which contains the antenna and associated
electronics that transmit and receive broadband wireless signals to and from Customer Premise
Equipment) and an indoor wallbox.
2.3.2.2 OPTIONAL: GPS Antenna
A GPS antenna may be connected to each co-located AB-MAX Access Point to allow them to
synchronize their RF transmissions. Although not required for basic system operation, use of the
“network synchronization” feature allows Access Points that use the same frequency channel to
more harmoniously co-exist.
2.3.3 Customer Premise Equipment Function
The Customer Premise Equipment is an integrated device that mounts externally at the customer
site. This device provides Ethernet communications via the WiMAX wireless connection with the
Base Station. Customer Premise Equipment elements may include:
• Internal Wallbox
• Cabling
• Switch, hub or router
