Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM WIN5237-IS subscriber unit is part of the RUGGEDCOM WIN family, a line of mobile WiMAX
broadband wireless access systems based on the IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMAX standard.
The RUGGEDCOM WIN5237-IS is a high-performance, self-learning subscriber. It automatically detects the base
station on the best signal available, allowing for plug-and-play installation and maintenance free operation. The
automatic switching and monitoring features guarantee on-going operation in changing conditions, which results
in low maintenance and considerable operating expense savings.
The subscriber unit is compliant with IEEE 802.16e standards to effectively meet the unique requirements of the
wireless Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) environment and to deliver broadband access services to a wide range
of customers. Specifically designed for point-to-multipoint broadband wireless access applications, the subscriber
unit provides efficient use of the wireless spectrum, supporting a range of user environments.
The subscriber unit also complies with the IEEE 802.16-2005 standard for the deployment of point-to-multipoint
(PMP) and point-to-point (PTP) network architectures.
The subscriber unit is a WiMAX Forum IEEE 802.16e Wave 2 (MIMO) certified subscriber. Each subscriber registers
and establishes a bi-directional data link with the base station.
Primary benefits offered by the RUGGEDCOM WIN5237-IS include:
•
