Serve More Subscribers with Exceptional User Experience
The WAP 650 features four Transmit (Tx) and four Receive (Rx) paths with 20 watts of power per sector carrier, in a zero foot print, cost-effective tower top form factor. These hardware capabilities, coupled with advanced software features, enable operators to provide robust coverage, serving more subscribers with an exceptional user experience. Features that drive this capability include:
- High receive sensitivity and system gain – The WAP 650’s 4-Receive paths along with advanced receiver processing software implemented on the fully programmable FLeX modem of base controller unit provide up to 50% higher coverage improvement over comparable 2-Receive base stations.
- Extended 4X2 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) support – The high sector capacity of the base station allows an operator to serve more subscribers with high data rates. The WAP 650 offers 20% to 40% higher sector capacity and 3dB to 6dB coverage enhancement, compared to 2X2 MIMO compliant base stations.
- Motorola’s unique Radio Resource Management (RRM) helps the operator differentiate services by enforcing end-to-end QoS. It enables operators to improve ARPU by offering premium services and a compelling end-user experience through the delivery of fast handoff with zero packet loss.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
The Motorola WAP 650 Series access point delivers several features designed to reduce an operator’s TCO including:
- Unique 4 sector flexible frequency reuse offers 20% lower TCO compared to 3 sector base stations
- Higher receive sensitivity and system gain delivers up to 30% lower TCO compared to 2X2 MIMO base stations
- Motorola’s fair scheduling mechanism gives higher cell edge throughput, thus limiting additional site build outs and lowering TCO
- Rapid deployment, light weight, easy to install access point offers a quicker path to revenue
Protect Operator Investment
The Motorola WAP 650 access point protects the operator’s investment and reduces subscriber churn due to uncertain performance by delivering industry leading capabilities, including:
- Low downtime from high availability platform, high product quality from a proven six sigma process, and high reliability from extensive field experience
- Easy upgrade path for WAP 450 (2X2 MIMO, 10 Watts Access Point)
- Interoperability with devices from the WiMAX ecosystem
- A smooth fixed-to-mobile path that mitigates future mobile broadband demands
- Remote management such as software upgrades that reduce OPEX by eliminating site visits
- Motorola’s IEEE and WiMAX forum leadership that drives the knowledge base for managing future 802.16m upgrades
