Alcatel Broadband Wireless Access Solutions Advantages

A complete offer to address all market segments from residential to SMEs

The Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) market encompasses all Point-To-Multipoint radio access networks and technologies able to offer the end-user a data rate over 2 Mbit/s. High Speed Internet (HSI) services to SMEs, SOHOs and, under specific conditions, residential users are among the main drivers fuelling a sustained growth in demand for broadband wireless.

The BWA space includes a variety of technologies, frequency bands and related markets ruled by regulators all over the world. As of today, the most strategic frequency bands on a worldwide basis are the 3.5GHz and the 24-38GHz bands. The latter is often referred to as Local Multipoint Distribution System (LMDS).

Alcatel therefore proposes two leading-edge solutions, enabling service providers to develop competitive offerings and viable businesses on each group of spectrum :

• Alcatel 7390 LMDS on frequency bands from 10 to 43 GHz: Solution for Local Multipoint Distribution Services aimed to serve Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Small Offices/Home Offices (SOHOs) and Residential users in multitenant buildings
• Alcatel 7385 Wireless IP on frequency bands from 2.6 to 3.5 GHz: Solution for wireless distribution of broadband IP services, dedicated to Small Offices/Home Offices (SOHOs) and residential users

Alcatel 7390 LMDS and 7385 Wireless IP are multi-service broadband wireless network solutions comprised of base station, customer premise equipment and network & service management.

Alcatel 7390 LMDS

A rich and flexible solution :

• makes the most out of the spectrum purchased thanks to single or multicarrier radio and complete set of frequency bands and channeling
• 10GHz solutions, allowing the provision of LMDS with larger cells for lower density areas, even in heavy rain regions
• Multiple interfaces for the end user: T1, E1, Fractional, ISDN Basic Rate, X21, OC-3, STM-1, POTS, 10Base-T, 100Base-T
• Advanced patented radio frame optimized for any combinations of circuit-oriented and data applications
• Guaranteed round trip delay for high quality real time applications
• Powerful Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation for packet applications

A cost-effective solution :

• TDMA access for optimum spectrum usage and reduced base station costs
• Most compact and integrated equipment at base station and customer premises
• Centralized or distributed switching
• High scalable base station
• Multiple possible network interfaces at the base station: T1/E1, DS3/E3, up to several OC-3/STM-1
• Multinetwork termination configuration for sharing the customer premises rooftop radio among up to eight customers
• Multidwelling/Multi-tenant unit solution for in-building distribution to up to 250 customers
• Plug-and-play customer premises installation
• Ready for optimizing the mobile networks transmission : BTS-to-BSC interconnection, optimized transmission in dense networks, third generation mobile networks ready

A reliable and future proof solution :

• Carrier class end-to-end network and service management
• SNMP open interface
• Fully managed QoS with fiber-like reliability : BER less than 10-14, link availability greater than 99.995 percent,
• Data encryption over the air capability
• Future proof access platform (ready for more services!)

Alcatel 7385 WIRELESS-IP

Affordable and scalable

• low entry cost with cost optimized elements
• integrated voice over IP
• highly scalable infrastructure (1 up to 18 sectors per base station site)
• fast deployment with easy installation, commissioning and expansion

Robust and powerful

• wireless LAN MAC for broadband dynamic traffic allocation, allowing each customer an individual contract with CIR/MIR up to 3 Mb/s
• managed QoS with voice prioritization
• 3-level auto-adaptive modulation designed to always select the best possible rate
• Dynamic allocation of resources (bandwidth on demand) ensures optimum use of total network capacity

All services, all products from a global supplier

A global supplier with a worldwide local presence

The licensing activity is currently booming all over the world (many regions/countries at the same time, multiple licenses per country). This situation, combined with the fact that selling LMDS requires a number of wireless-specific skills, confirms that a well-trained, strong local presence is mandatory. The "local parameter" often requires a local assistance. Alcatel is there.

A long experience and a leadership in Fixed Radio Access

Market leader in the broadband access market including DSL and DLC, Alcatel is certainly a company you can trust to give you the best from the RF world and to have the skills to support you in your wireless deployment.

Alcatel LMDS and Alcatel Wireless IP Broadband Wireless Access solutions have been running in more than a hundred networks with approximately 6000 sectors deployed , operating in real world for long now, delivering data and generating revenues. Their advantages have been tested, recognized and rewarded by contracts with major Operators.

Turnkey network and services

Alcatel means also a strong ability and an extensive experience in turnkey network provisioning. The wide range of products and solutions is completed by a vast portfolio of pre and post-licence support services:

• Business case analysis. The factors that combine to make a compelling business case for BWA network differ with each service provider. The output provides the service provider with income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, market share growth over planning period, total cost of ownership, scenario analysis and return on investment simulation.
• Network planning and cell design for architecture, tributary dimensioning, frequency planning and production documents.
• Project management for planning to deployment for all major communications projects.
• Site engineering, including assessment and a site survey before installation.
• Network implementation covering mechanical and electrical equipment installation and on-site acceptance testing.
• Network enhancement, including network extension design or optimization of existing transmission elements.
• Financing. Even when backed by solid sponsors, most LMDS players usually expect customized financing support from local partners and suppliers. As demonstrated in recent LMDS wins, Alcatel's capabilities in this area are a key decision factor.
• Training, operation & maintenance, technical support

Everything to reduce your start-up costs and technical risks, everything to get even faster on the market.

Quality of infrastructure & products

To quickly gain a competitive edge on their multiple contenders, LMDS Operators require reliable, high-performance products available NOW for mass commercial deployment. There again, Alcatel is well positioned

Award-winning network and service management for wireline and wireless networks

A highly integrated network management system, the Alcatel Network Manager is an open architecture solution for managing multi-technology multi-service networks on a single platform. It extends the management reach of the operator to the wireline and wireless access and to advanced services across the entire network.

End-to-end solutions

Alcatel's complete end-to-end networking solutions including products for Core, Edge, Access and Network & Service management allows Operators to focus on their business, while Alcatel focus on the network deployment.
