Congratulations on your purchase of the Redline Communications model Access Node-
100U wireless broadband base station single sector base station. Redline
Communications is a world leader in design and production of Broadband Fixed Wireless
(BFW) systems.
2.1 Introduction
The RedMAX base station is a carrier class IEEE 802.16-2004 compliant wireless device
for deployment of point-to-multipoint (PMP) and point-to-point (PTP) systems.
Figure 2: Intro - base station Terminal, Transceiver, and Antenna
The base station consists of an indoor terminal (IDU) and outdoor transceiver and
antenna (ODU). Each operational RedMAX wireless broadband network segment is
comprised of a RedMAX base station and one or more WiMAX Forum Certified
subscribers. Each subscriber registers and establishes a bi-directional data link with the
base station sector controller.
The RedMAX base station is (part of) the 802.16 definition of a base station. A
RedMAX base station base station functions as a central hub or concentrator, connected
to a WAN network access point, and managing wireless links for remote subscribers. The
RedMAX base station base station enforces the Quality of Service (QoS) settings by
controlling all uplink and downlink traffic scheduling -- providing non-contention based
traffic with predictable transmission characteristics.
