“The full duplex FDD CPE as opposed to a half duplex CPE, supports aggregate capacity in excess of 40 Mbit/s in a 7 MHz channel and allows operators to offer excellent quality voice and video services to business and residential users,” said Jamal Hamdani, president & CEO of Axxcelera Broadband Wireless. ”We are pleased to be the first company to achieve WiMAX certification on a completely full duplex FDD system and we believe that this, together with the rest of our product portfolio, offers a comprehensive set of solutions to our customers.”“Axxcelera’s WiMAX system will help network operators build out their fixed WiMAX networks,” said Ron Resnick, president of the WiMAX Forum. “Because each unit of the full duplex FDD system has achieved the WiMAX Forum Certified seal, operators can be assured that this is a robust fixed WiMAX solution that will operate seamlessly with other WiMAX Forum Certified products.”


The 3.5 GHz ExcelMax platform operates in the 3.3-3.8 GHz licensed spectrum. It comprises three different base station architectures: a Carrier-Class base station chassis, a Stackable Ultralite base station and a completely integrated outdoor Access Point. Three different CPE types complement the range of base station products: an outdoor full duplex FDD CPE for VoIP and Triple Play business customers, an outdoor half duplex FDD/TDD CPE for high speed internet and VoIP customers and a low cost self-install indoor CPE for residential customers. Broadband users on the ExcelMax system can be centrally provisioned and managed using a scalable carrier grade ExcelMax provisioning and management platform. The ExcelMax platform supports FDD and TDD operation, allowing the use of ExcelMax solutions in different regions of the world where either FDD or TDD spectrum has been allocated. Existing Axxcelera Excel Air customers will be able to upgrade their base stations for WiMAX operation. Future 802.16e operation will be supported in the Carrier-Class base stations and Access Point configurations.
